Note that your VHF and/or cellular service may not work at those distances. In addition to EPIRBS there are smaller, less expensive emergency beacon devices. Here is a link to video on some of the options. https://www.globalfishingreports.com/personal-locating-beacons-plb/ Check the Boat US web...

You ca probably tell if the charger is powered up by looking at the system voltage on the multi function display. You would have to turn on the power to power up the display. My guess is that the voltage displayed will be higher when the charger is on than when it it's off. That would be simple...

Your pose made me chuckle. My first thought was that 10 miles is as far as you can swim! Although twin motors may offer some extra sense of security, the weather and sea conditions have more to do with your range than twin or single motors. Where would you prefer to get stuck; 3 miles out in 30...

I occasionally will run wide open for a few minutes, not to clear carbon, I use additives for that in my 2 strokes, but rather to scrub the hull of soft growth. I agree that modern engines manage combustion much better than older motors. Now if you run at low speeds like trolling for long...

It's tricky business. I wouldn't do a wire transfer. They are not 100% secure. In addition, why give out your banking information like account and routing number to a total stranger? The safest way is to meet the seller in person or have an agent be your representative. You may be able to hire...

Something looks odd. Not just the swelling, but also what looks like movement under the cap seam especially in the last photo. I can think of two possibilities other than plain transom rot: The transom seeped water and froze causing the smelling, or the aft of the boat was damaged somehow and...

This thread is 2 1/2 years old:)

Structurally the cantilever boards could work as long as the joists that they are bolted to are sound and the original deck is sized accordingly for the new load. Another concern may be the weight of the box when loaded with all your gear. That will put strain on the new deck boards and the...

I don't know Dennis. I have a couple of bilge pumps on a shelf in my basement:)

The pump would be as far aft as possible , low in the bilge. There will be some sort of access to the aft bilge. On your model the pump will be in the bilge under the motor well. Pop off the round access plates and look for the pump. The bilge pump has two modes, automatic that uses a float...

New models have a marine head w/electric flush, 7.5-gallon (28 l) holding tank w/macerator, overboard discharge & deck pump out, according to the brochure. So I guess a retrofit is possible assuming the hulls are the same mold.

If the tab is not adjusted correctly it will cause the boat to try and steer to port (based on the position of the anode tab you described). In that case if you have NFB steering, you may notice that the boat is noticeably harder to turn to starboard. If you don't have NFB steering you can feel...

I didn't see the mention of a hydrofoil. That could be it. In either case, the trim tab should not be straight. Try turning its fin to about 15 or 20 degrees to the STARBOARD side. That is clockwise when looking from underneath the ventilation plate. Do you have a NFB steering box? (That's a No...

If driving to the dealer is easier, ask if you can pull the seat off and just take it to the dealer for inspection.

Keep us up to date on the issue. I would like to know what the problem is and hopefully was.

Confirm that the gas tank is off center. There may be deck plates that you pop off to check on the sender and hoses. They would typically be on the center line of the hull. Check the bilge for water.

Are you having a list when the boat is at rest or does it lean over when on plane, getting on plane etc? If you have trim tabs, retract them all the way and make sure they are retracted. Do not use them for the time being. Take a look at the motor lower unit. How is the trim anode positioned...

There is a problem you shouldn't be having. Talk again to the dealer. If the batteries started the motors and were running when you lost steering they would be charging the batteries. There is no way that you should have that problem, unless the steering is connected to a house battery that is...

I might go with a thin layer of RTV, (probably in black) It is removable with some effort. What I don't know is if the sealant will stain the window panes though. I would not caulk when the portholes are closed. Instead i would open them and apply a thin bead of sealant on either the gasket...

Maybe so.. The OP will probably know when he digs out the rotten corner.
