Some brokers are a bit shady. I am not naming any specific but if a name POPs up, I will let you know

The failure of the diaphram horn is a very common thing and may have nothing to do with the big issues. Since the batteries were removed and reinstalled ( or at least disconnected and reconnected) you should check that all ground cables were reconnected. There is a large gauge cable that ties...

Those look like Moeller gas selector valves. I assume that since your motors run with the handle in the middle position that support the both function. Apparently some do and some don't. I would have assumed also that if there is both selection, that could cause a dry suction condition but that...

First of all, if your voltage meter is working correctly, a reading of 12 volts is basically a dead battery but as the mechanic said, if the motor starts, the battery cant be dead. It sounds to me that there is a wiring issue, perhaps a bad wire, connection, switch etc. What is your main...

Here are the details for check deposits for a few banks. If the deposit amount is small, monies will be available quickly. For larger amounts, suspect deposits or unusual deposits, the period can be significantly longer. It should be noted that the fact that funds are immediately available does...

If I take a cashier's check, I want it issued at the buyer's bank when I am present. Even cashier's checks are forged. Funds transfers are a little trickier since the availability of funds can take a while ( days) to post. FYI, my bank doses not issues cashier's checks anymore and haven't for...

I am about 100% certain, you didn't bleed it correctly but at the same time, you still may have other issues. To eliminate other possible causes, let me ask the following: . Is the motor hard to turn when just sitting or hard to steer at speed? Is it much harder to steer to one side versus the...

Although the 3/8 will work for the engine feed, depending on your rigging tube and how the line routes inside the engine, you may have a hard time installing it. I always opt for the original size line. I've cursed the rigging tubes too many times but knew that since all the lines came out, they...

While you are at it, replace the primer bulb with a good replacement, like OEM. Some of the less expensive offerings are garbage. Remember also that you will be running a new line from the tank pickup to the water separator filter, a line from the filter housing to the primer, and a third...

Probably not. Often the line from the primer bulb to the motor itself is 5/16 inch

I forgot to mention that my friend asked the buyer if he wanted my buddy to transfer the insurance policy to him instead of just cancelling it and the buyer said " I don't need insurance" I suspect the boat was going to see one sailing and then visit Davey Jone's locker.

I am not equipped with body armor, weaponry , or accompanied by a forensic accountant:) I don't want to meet a stranger to do a deal where there is !00 grand or whatever on the table. I also am and everyone should be, aware that there are phony bank checks and /or money orders out there. I don't...

I haven't seen that arrangement before so all I can do is guess. Where in the plumbing is the Y valve located? f it is between the dual output sides of the Y valve, I suspect it is there tu pump overboard when one side of the valve is selected and when the other side is selected, the holding...

Note that the regs don't say anything about overnights:) Plenty of boats have 'sunken' due to leaks and no bilge operation while on short trips and just hanging around. Note also that if you have a big enough leak and I'm talking about a seacock failure or hose failure, in all likelihood, your...

I think this is the regulation § 182.530 Bilge high level alarms. (a) On a vessel of at least 7.9 meters (26 feet) in length, a visual and audible alarm must be provided at the operating station to indicate a high water level in each of the following normally unmanned spaces: (1) A space with...

Did you just add fluid or did you bleed the system? If the reservoir gets low, it will suck air and has to be bleed. Look up the instructions on the web. You can also try manually moving the motor side to side. If should not move a lot without the wheel moving.

I think the holding tank may be part of the main toilet itself. Does it look something like this: https://www.fisheriessupply.com/dometic-sanipottie-960-msd-series-manual-bellows-flush-portable-toilets-with-pump-out-feature

One mod I do to my boats is to use waterproof(?) male/female connectors on bilge devices that need to be changed, That makes it easier next time to test for continuity as well as be able to remove things like pumps without cutting wires. If a pump tests bad, I either reuse the old connector with...

Agreed. I assume that was a given, but perhaps not:)

Good step to take. Don't overlook the grounds also
