    Fuel fill hose replacement

    I am in the process of replacing the fuel tank in my 83 Tournament 19. When I removed the 1 1/2" fill line from the fill nozzle, I found a bare wire sandwiched between the hose and nozzle. It did not look like a Grady installed wire. The wire appeared to be ultimately connected to the negative...

    83 Tournament 19 Leaking Fuel Tank

    Toolguy, Thanks for your reply. I will see if I can get to the drain pipe by reaching through the 6" deck plate in the engine well over the bilge. Do you agree that the fuel tank hatch should remain dry? By the way, the tank is original to this 83 Tournament.

    83 Tournament 19 Leaking Fuel Tank

    I trimmed the front flange and was able to remove the tank.There was a great deal of debris on the bottom of the hatch. When I unglogged the drain, I was surprised to see that the hatch would not completely drain. I put a fiberglass rod through the drain pipe. It went into the bilge and exited...

    83 Tournament 19 Leaking Fuel Tank

    GW204 Thanks for your rapid and very thorough reply. You even answered one of the questions I forgot to ask. As I look at the length of the tank and the size of the opening, I could not figure out how the tank could come out. Trimming the forward flange, which is about 4 inches wide, should...

    83 Tournament 19 Leaking Fuel Tank

    While winterizing my 83 Tournament 19, I found water in the fuel. I drained about 5 gallons from the tank before getting all fuel. When I tried to top off the tank, I noticed that when the level reached the top of the filler neck, it would soon disapear. I pulled the tank hatch and found the...

    Winshield wiper problem

    Wiper arm I found what looks to be a spring release tab on the bottom of the arm. Even though I soaked the assembly with penetrating oil and pulling out the release, the arm would not budge. However, it turns out that the tip of the arm has an adjustment for the angle of the wiper blade which...

    Winshield wiper problem

    The rest position for the wiper on my 1983 Tournament 19 is too far to the starboard side which carries most of the wiper off the windshield. Can the wiper arm be repositioned? If so,how? Is there another fix? Thanks in advance

    Binocular Image Stabilization

    Image stabilized binoculars The Canon stabilized binoculars are nice but not waterproof. I read several reviews where the stabilization system stopped working after a year. The presumption was that the salt water envioroment was the cause. The Nikon Stabileyes are waterproof but cost more than...

    Trolling plates

    I'm going to do a little trolling this year and would rather avoid putting a kicker on my Tournament 19 with a 2 stroke 155hp commercial Evinrude. Would like some pro/con comments on using a trolling plate.

    Fuel consumption

    Bob P, I have a Garmin 545S plotter/sounder. Garmin makes a flow transducer that will integrate with the GPS. The transducer is NEMA 2000 while my plotter is NEMA 0183 so the interface is through Garmins CANet protocall and seems a little fussy to set up. Street price for the transducer and...

    Fuel consumption

    My 1983 Tournament 19 is powered by a 1989 Evenrude 155 commercial. The engine runs well and has good compression in all cylinders. Does anyone care to speculate what my average fuel consumption in gal/hr should be? Leigh
