I am not familiar with the fuel system on that model boat but it seems odd to me when you guys are talking about each engine having a separate pickup in each tank. That would mean 4 fuel/water separators. I would think that there would be a single pickup in each tank going to a fuel/water...

Thanks for the help. The instructions are for the Command Link gauges, which I don't have. I was afraid that the new style might adjust electronically instead of manually. My gauge is so far off that when I have it trimmed for normal cruising angle the bars go completely to the top . To see a...

I recently bought a fresh off the press Yami F225 4.2 liter. The tilt/trim sender is not set right and the gauge is a mile off. Looking at the sender it is different than my old 3.3 liter 225. It had a cam that clamped on the pivot tube and you just loosened a screw and rotated the cam till it...

Thanks for the info/advice fellas. Thinking about how far things have come in the MFD world in last dozen or so years I figured I was kinda kidding myself that this was going to keep me happy.

I still have the original plotter that was installed on my 2004 Grady. It is a SIMRAD CE33. It has a 6 inch screen which is small for this day but the resolution and viewability is great. What I am wondering is if I could make it operate better/faster and more accurately by putting a smarter up...

Did the lock lift 55 feet in one lift or were there several steps to accomplish the 55 feet? Thats a hell of a lift!

It would be easy to gain some headroom by just getting 1 foot or 2 foot leg extensions and add them to the bottom of your arches.

I like to use "Life Caulk" on the transom cap and engine bolt sealing. It is an area that one must work on occasionally and 3M 5200 is just too ornery to remove. There are two types of spashwell drain tubes that I am familiar with. The best is bronze tubing which has one end rolled and then...

Fret Knot, I think you owe us a bit of a yarn about what goes down there. At least we could live vicariously through your words. We like stories about Boats, Beer, Bait, Bikinis, Beaches and such other pursuits that have led you astray.

I agree with seasick. It would seem to me that the very least they would have done is broach the subject and explain to you how the tank should be vented and what would be recommended for pickup tubes and such. That was good diligence on your part to check everyones work on your boat that you...

I have not used it personally. I do know that SeaDek puts out first cabin products. I frequent another boat forum that has a member that installed them and posted pictures. He says they are very tough and feel good leaning on them. In my mind they have a sort of industrial look and don't really...

wlewis, If the zinc is showing corrosion(the white stuff) then it is working at its' job. If there is still some bulk to the zinc left then no need to change. If you want to give it a fresh start just take it off and dip it in muratic acid from your pool store. Don't go off and...

Here's my Bennett tab story. I bought a used boat a several years ago. Right away I noticed the fluid was low in the Tab reservoir so I filled her up and tried moving the tabs up and down to figure out how they had been plumbed. Right off I could see that one cylinder was leaking and it was due...

It will be AC. At least my buddies 31 Luhrs is. There is no converter other than the battery charger.

Holy Mackinac Wahoo, you have done a ton of the loop! You have a trailer boat so how do you get your rig and trailer up to your finish point of a segment?

Rob, This is the first I knew of your trip. Where did you start? Do you plan to eventually complete the Loop?

Could it be just a problem with the brushes not making contact with the armature??? Just thinking of that moisture maybe gumming up the brush guides.

I agree with Fishtales, I would use a good sealant like HondaBond 4 or equivalent when mating up those cases. I don't know if that windlass has a vented case but you might check about its' location if there is one and either protct it from moisture or plug it and provide one that is more...

I think the only way you would have anything other than ABYC is if your boat was built and rigged for the European market. If you didn't ship it in from Europe it should be "All American". The best kind! :D I, myself am a great fan of WEMA products if you get into replacement. Their website has...

When you said the solenoid is just "clicking" it makes me, first of all, to think of low voltage to the solenoid, either the control voltage or the primary voltage. Even though your batteries are topped up, corroded or loose connections can show good voltage on a multimeter but under load...
