I am surprised about the gauge not agreeing with the ECM hours.

Are you sure it is a 6YD? Here is a link to the 6YC manual. Page 6 is the section on engine config and gas tank setup.

That picture helps a lot:) Something is broken of course but one clue would be knowing if the wheel turns forever when you spin it or if it stops after a few turns. I suspect the first case since the wheel is so easy to turn. If you are lucky, the wheel just came loose ( hard to imagine though)...

Was the capacity you mentioned the GVWR? That is usually on the trailer tag and includes the trailer itself. Assume that the trailer is about 1000 to 1200 pounds. add that to your calculated load of 5750 pounds and you have a total of 6950 pounds. You should size with some extra capacity...

The helm switch is normally for manual operation. In addition to manual mode, the bilge pump is always capable of automatic operation typically from a float switch that detects high water. If the pum is always running, the float switch may be stuck up or it may be bad. The automatic operation...

The gauges have to know what engine data to monitor and what data to display Therefore programming the specific engine number is important. Refer to your manual for installation and configuration steps

I would guess that the motor is not leaking when tilted. . Rather it is leaking while running and the gas is accumulating in the lower cowling. When you tilt the motor, the puddle of gas flows to a different are that has openings to the outside. This could be a fairly dangerous condition so if...

I suspect that the panel moves or moved due to hardtop motion of general expansion due to the temps. The panel the hardtop legs attach to, also moved and that put stress on the caulking which ( perhaps it is a rigid adhesive) had a stronger bond than the strength of the gel coat. That caused the...

absolutely a concern

That makes sense.

You should test the unit by bypassing the switch. If the switch is bad. The test is easy if it is a simple switch. Don't assume the pump is bad yet. That could end up being an expensive guess I also asked if the fuse takes a bit to pop or pos instantly when bothe buttons are pressed up or down...

Dennis I don't see the difference in load in both cases. Pushing one side up and the other down should draw as much current as pushing both up or down. (almost as much since moving a tabs up will draw less current than moving it down when the boat is at rest.)

I forgot to point out that the little valve on that tube if bad can cause the pumpout to not work BUT the pump will still run and if nearby you should be able to hear it run

Not if the fuse worked before. It sounds like you may have tab pump going bad. Putting in a larger fuse than specified is asking for trouble in a big way. It is possible that there is a bad connection that is causing a larger than normal voltage drop and on mechanical loads like the pump, lower...

On the other hand, you can use the TotalBoat and let us know how well it works!.

Yes, mixing well is critical and you need to remix as you work. As mentioned, the thickness of the coat is also important. Pettit now recommends a 3/16 in nap roller. Small ones are hard yo find in box stores. Full width 3/16 nap can also be tough. I do not use foam rollers.

I would check the tank ground if that is where the sender is grounded to.

I have used and continue to experiment with antifoul paints for the motor mounting bracket as well as the trim/tilt pump parts below the waterline. I have had some luck with Pettit Alumaspray I think it's called in spray cans. It it comes in grey or black. There is no clear option. It helps...

If your MSD is electric flush, There may be two macerator pumps depending on your system model. On is at the head and it macerates and pumps waste from the bowl to the holding tank. That pump operates when the flush function is enabled (switched on). The second macerator pump would be near the...

If you are going to part any of the already areas painted with ablative, you have to use ablative. So painting barrier coat will require the removal all all ablative. Options for that include sanding and blasting ( but nor sand blasting.) Although I might recommend a barrier coat over a new...
