Just to add; The feeds from the charger should also be fused near the batteries

hat is crevasse corrosion, caused by moisture seepage into the fittings. You can clean off the rust but it will come back. The only sure way to stop it is to remove the rail or handle, clean out the hole and the hardware, seal the hole if wet and rebed the rail. If the item is the rail, it can...

When the boat tops out at 5000 revs, if you run like that for a while do the revs stay steady or do they change up and down? Something is just not seeming right to me. When you top out at 5k is the hull on plane? If not om plane I could understand the slip percentage but if on plane I am at a...

Did you check the angle of the transducer to make sure it hasn't been bumper up and did you check the underside for growth? Don't check with a bare hand! Do you have issues with side scan and down scan or just one of the two?

Since you seem to like math, why don't you do a prop slip calculation for both the old and the new data. I'm betting that the slip percentage is similar. No scientific reason, just a gut feeling On a different factor, are you telling us that both motors top out at 5,000 revs? Have you tried...

There are different opinions on 350s as you will see. Personally, I wouldn't buy a boat with 350s

Why do you suspect the transom is wet if it was replaced? Assuming the hull is clean, I would look at these things first: before I tear apart the decks. If there is extra water weight in the hull and enough to cause the loss in top end, the hull will sit lower in the water at rest. That is to...

No YouTube video!!!

Lots of things to check before changing the engine mounting. The second hole is the 'factory' default. It is a starting point but just raising the bracket may not help depending on other factors. You didn't state how long you had the boat and didn't state if the problem was always present. Is...

I think the message may need to be reset in the motor. What gauges do you have? Take a look at this forum posting https://www.rib.net/forum/f36/yamaha-f150-resetting-the-100-hour-maintenance-reminder-36729.html

Just to get the facts clear; You are leaving the pump running and are drawing water form the sea, correct? Some interesting info on this forum' Start at post #10 https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/help-with-keeping-anchovies-alive.842891/

If the new color has the effect of making motors with the original color less expensive, I'm all for it:)

The survey sounds pretty good, As I read about the weeping fittings, I said to myself that the hull must be wet. At first nothing was mentioned but later on the surveyor mentioned typical moisture around hull fittings. That made ne feel better about the survey. Were all systems and components...

what did the survey say? Did you do or have a sea trial done?

I think that for that generation of tach and speedo , the config is done by small switches on the back of the gauges

It won't hurt to put a nut and washer on the underside of the deck as long as you tighten it last after everything else is snugged up. You don't want any lifting force to be taken up by the deck. You want all the tension directed to the bow bracket.

I think you have all the parts. On a different boat I have, the lifting eye is passed through the deck and screwed onto the lifting rod. There is no nut under the deck. On the other end, the order of parts would be ( from the rod down) nut, lock washer, flat washer, bracket hole, flat washer and...

That's good. Yup take a look at the motor

I suspect that the throttle cable at the motor is not adjusted correctly. Either that or the control box was reassembled incorrectly. If you look at the throttle linkage on the motor, with the motor not running and the shift override pressed in, move the throttle forward all the way. Now...
