    S3213 fuel/water separator filter- Racor vs China noname from Amazon

    this sums it up pretty well. we are talking about a difference in price equivalent to 30-45 minutes worh of fuel for something that protects your motor. other than in an emergency repair, there is on reason to put cheap parts on a boat.

    305 Listing

    when i first read the thread title, i thought that there was a boat being listed for sale in Miami. definitely seemed like a strange way to title a for sale thread. this makes more sense. OP - where is the fresh water tank, and is it full? black water tank? batteries?

    Scupper hoses

    after replacing the drain hoses and deck drains in my boat, i can tell you that it would have been easier to wrap with tape. at least the starboard side, the port side was a piece of cake. at least in my boat

    Scupper hoses

    if you are going to run the boat this season regardless, then yes, wrapping it with flex tape or something similar would help a bit. it may hold in a small leak and lessen the effects of a large failure. replacing is obviously the best way, and yes it is a major pain to do
