Haha, yeah, not so sure this is one of those snake oils as it has proven to me it actually does something....There are some videos on Youtube where folks test these snake oils and see the cleaning affects of the carbon. It actually does remove the carbon. Don't expect is to strip all the carbon...

Seasick, have you tried the Seafoam before? It might help you out as well. One of the comments on the can: "Helps reduce hesitations, stalls, pings, flat spots and rough idle due to deposit build up."

That behavior sounds a bit different than what I have. I never have any signs of issue with roughness or stumbling. They run smooth all the time. Just will bog down in neutral when cold and having the low idle issue. That to me sounds like an issue with the computer not providing enough fuel or...

Adding pic here, cold start now going immediately to 700 rpm's. Before the the cold start was stumbling at 400-500 and as it would warm up would move to 600 and eventually after about 5 min. on it's own would get to 700. If able to rev it in neutral, could get it to 700 quicker, but another...

Injectors were one possibility to consider, but the consensus was if we get full RPM's at WOT, likely no issue with injectors. My issue started at 700 hours so I can't believe it would be the injectors that early with 2 micron filters and additives in the fuel to keep the system clean. The...

I have found over several forums over last few years, there seems to be a few of us plagued with this issue. You are right, it is not a deal breaker of an issue, but is something we know is not quite right. With today's computerized motors, they should work properly and when they don't that...

Hi folks, just an update. Over last post and over the summer season, the motors did perform better at cold idle. I did make some minor adjustments over the summer and as time went, they started the issue again at idle, but not as bad as before. After my inspection last time for...

Wow, that is amazing! Good to know there is an option for this out there!

Fishtales, if you zoom in that last pic, you can see where the anchor is carving out it's new niche into the bottom edge of the pulpit.:( I thought of a piece of some type of rubber but think it will be hard to find something to work there and not just get torn off. Also, maybe for a bit I...

Hi folks, finally finished the Bow Pulpit roller upgrade. It came out great, better than expected. The only issue I did not compensate for correctly was the anchor touching the bottom of the pulpit. Even though I tested this in the garage with the anchor, simulating coming onto the roller and...

Hey Dennis, someone on another site mentioned something called Denso tape? Thinking maybe it is the same thing as the Buytl you mention.....

Thanks for the feedback. I had some Grey RTV sealant left over in the refrigerator that still is good, so I went ahead and gave it a try. Reason is I researched it and all RTV is UV resistant so that might help and the gray goes well with the SS by coincidence :) Will see how it goes. I do like...

Hi folks, update on new windlass now after a good season. Mid summer, removed the side cover and all was in good shape, no water. I finally found and purchased a cover made specifically for the 700 Profish and have maintained the cover all season. Now, with new project removing the pulpit to...

Very good! I am sure it will be great to have handy when needed. A few years back, while I was having my hardtop pipes repaired from a crack, they put in a bar from front to back along the walkway and it is amazing how much safer it is now when passing back and forth, especially in seas...

Hi Dennis, thanks for correction on the companies. Yes, the 2 new batteries are for each motor are separate. The other 2 are house batteries, on their own. Charger is set to AGM charge format.

This is a good idea! Can't wait to see it finished.

I was going to say use a solder iron to get the screws hot, they will release from the caulk. Works pretty good, but takes a long time to heat up the screws with a solder iron. Need a high power one. However, you said in a paddle boat, so an electric solder gun while in a paddle boat might have...

I have the Minn Kota MK345PC charger and very happy with it. Any of the smart chargers nowdays should handle proper care to the batteries. I just did my semi annual Carbon Pyle 500 amp load test and my 2 Interstate Group 29's were borderline fail status. However, they are just now turning 8...

To clarify my intentions here and try to explain better in this post, is that the existing Bow Roller installed by Grady was made for the fluke type anchors which don't need to upright themselves. The width of the roller is just 1-3/4". This narrow width does not allow the Delta style anchors to...

Thanks Dennis. Got it. For the bolt holes, that is what I did actually on my Swim Platform. I will do same on the pulpit when I re-install it this time. I don't recall if I did it before or not, but if not, I will for sure! I think I have some old oak stair treads I can cut up and laminate, then...
