I would think that the distance between possible gas docks and the probability that they will have gas or be open is more important than a few tenths of my MPG rate. One thing you don't want to do is have to worry that you have enough gas to get to point A and also backup destination B. If you...

Where is the deflection? On the hull or on the deck? The deck is common but without additional inspection you can't determine if there is structural (stringers or bulkhead) damage. The hull gouges are no big deal in the scheme of things. It depends on how picky you are about how the repair...

It depends on your motor, not the hull. Do you have a 704 type of control? Assuming Yamaha motor, it would be something like one of these...

There is one hatch on the bow. That should be somewhat standard. Maybe a Bomar. In any case, if round they run about $700. The side windows are more of a challenge. I think yours may be oval so search for oval portlite. You may need to remove one to get accurate measurements and you also may...

Call Grady and ask how that compartment is supposed to drain or if it should be dry.

What does forward of the bilge mean. The bilge runs the whole length of the hull. If the area is flooded with fresh water, the fresh water had to come from your fresh water system which includes where the grey water goes from let's say the shower. The water typically flows into a holding tank...

If the primer bulb gets firm, there is sufficient gas in the separator. The OP says the bulb gets firm.

It should scare you:) Usually when the vst screen (filter) gets clogged, the first symptom is either a loss of high end revs or a surging under speed. I would wait on diving into the VST. I am not sure for your model but often the cover gasket ( a rubber odd shaped ring) can't be reused (it...

Crud is a good possibility. It could have been sucked up when the tank got low. The fuel rail pressure however would be either low of varying (but maybe only when the motor is running). A little restriction would probably allow the motor to fire for a while. The idea of replacing the two fuel...

Mine will crank but not fire id kill is active. My mind is swimming . I think I need to reduce the forums I read. Now it seems that the first signs of trouble were fuel related and then somehow now there is no spark on the port motor????? When the starboard motor died back at the dock, did...

I don't since I don't boat far distances but rather local and very near shore

Don't waste your time looking for fuel issues yet. No spark, no run. Check the fuses on the motor just to eliminate that. Loss of all spark is often a sigh of no power to the ECM or the kill switch is killing:) I don't remember if those are 2 stroke or 4 stroke. I assume 2 stroke I have to see...

Or wait another day:)

What was your battery type?

I don't think I buy your explanation:) My first thought was that the factory drilled oversized pilot holes. I wouldn't expect the cover to rip either. I suppose it is possible that the cover material has shrunken and shrunken so much that extremely stong forces were put on the fasteners. That...

30 ohms is correct for a full tank. If you open the deck access plats at the rear of the fuel tank, you will see the tank and sender flange. There will be a pink wire attached to the sender terminal/ Pull it off and your gauge should read empty ( it may take a few seconds). If the gauge does...

If your engines are running at different RPM ( not sync'd) or they have different props, the hull can lean to one side at speed. If a trim tab is extended too far, that can also cause the lean and the lean can be large and scary. Just make sure the tabs are both fully retracted as a starting...

You can buy a cheap spark checker at Harbor freight. Note that some motors don't fire all cylinders at low revs. I am not sure which cylinders are live at all times but I am pretty sure that cyl 6 is one of them. If you feel up to it, one way to check for spark without a tester is to pull a...

Check fuel delivery and spark first. Squeeze the primer bulb to see if it gets firm. I assume that the kill lanyard is inserted on that motor.

I forgot to mention not only the motor trim but the fact that running different trim angles on the twin motors can cause issues. Don't rely completely on the trim angle display. Take a look to see if the motors are at the same trim angle (start will all the way down and go from there.) Also...
