Ok. I am going to turn all of my electronics on to see if any other behave the same. No issue with the trim so far. It does it on both batteries even the brand new one so I was thinking a connection of some sort. Typically, for the A60 would I find any connections by the switch panel or do...

Thanks... I will clean it again and try to clean the entire bottom of the cowling. I had taken it off yesterday and let it sit tilted for a few hrs and saw nothing after I put another zip tie on the cap. When I came back the next day, I saw a few drops which made me put the zip ties on the...

Although this is more of an annoyance, I was curious what I should look for that might be causing it. I have two old electronics that I always have on. For some reason the A60 turns off whenever I attempt to start the engine. I can’t remember if this happened prior to them installing a new...

So I have been noticing a blueish/ Green drip on my bracket rather frequently but not always. After reading up on THT, I went ahead and put a zip tie at the top of the oil reserve/ reservoir in the engine. The mechanic did the same when fixing my alarm as he noticed the oil, but I did a 2nd...

Just make sure it actually has a locking mechanism. I played with mine and wanted to lock it for the same reasons but with no luck. Turns out that there was nothing for the key to latch onto and turn when inserting. Same design and all but there is a gap inbetween that must have broken over time.

not sure if anyone else had luck with the red micro fiber head but I took it off immediately as it was leaving red fabrics everywhere. I have since washed it so not sure if that fixed the problem

KY - I’ll definitely be reaching out once I finish my research in the Fall of what I want to do. Like you, I’ll have to figure out what I can do within a certain budget or my wife will not let me hear the end of it. Upgrading to a 250hp would be nice, I’m looking forward to the day but hope I...

Unless you are in a rush, just wait as west marine typically has 50% their chargers rather often

BTW...My 228 is 20 years old with all original equipment so I am sure I will be opening my wallet a lot in the next year to replace things on my boat as I learn what works, what doesn’t and what is beyond it’s serviceable years (I.e most hoses are stiff ) thankfully this site exists to help us...

Do you have a 228? I plan to replace and/ or add another aft bilge pump this fall but I’m not looking forward to it. Curious if you can share any pics of it in progress as I can’t imagine how I can reach the bottom after removing the live well. Good thing is the joining of the wires are...

Same thing happened to me yesterday but with a Dunkin’ Donuts bag by live well on fiberglass...tried a cleaner and spray nine with the same results as you..Went from pink to light pink curious what others give as feedback....

Curious where you fit the two in port storage on your 228? Do you have the oil tank there as well? I have 1 on each side I noticed that where people sit makes a big difference, even if it’s the same people. Have you checked to make sure that both trim tabs go all the way down and up...

Did the alarm set at idle only or also when cruising? Thought you said at low RPMs

Agreed; typing that made no sense but there is always water in that bottom tube. I’ll follow it tomorrow morning and see which is which. Maybe it’s partially clogged from the prior owner and that’s why it holds a little water. if that’s actually the drain, then I could go without the plug...

Since my livewell does not work, I was thinking of using it this season to put fish on ice. I measured the interior of the drain and it was 1.5in ,but the pvc drain plug I bought did not fit. Where can I find one? Is it really 1.5? Also, I don’t get how the livewell drains either. From what I...

Thanks for the feedback. My thoughts of keeping it are focused on maintenance in the off season and in case of a major storm I can move it by me rather than leaving by the shore area. So...exactly what was stated above. Unfortunately, I don’t think I have a choice with keeping it as it’s not...

I keep going back and forth on whether to keep the trailer that came with my boat or sell it. It looks to be in rather good shape, has an electronic winch, 5 good tires, etc. however, I am thinking of selling it since I don’t need it given I leave the boat at a dock and I don’t have a vehicle...

did you check the temperatures to see if both were overheating or just one of them? See what happens when you replace the poppet valve.

Any updates on fixing the alarm? Are both thermostats overheating or just one of them? If just one, after removing it do you notice if water is getting to it when idling? So far, seems like they fixed mine today. They adjusted the throttle a bit so idle is at 550 to 650 rather than 450-550...

is the filter on the pump?
