Yes. OK, so venting is not the issue. Bulbs get "less hard" as the engine runs - meaning, they don't stay as full as when you first pump it up - sounds like that part is normal, too. Before you buy a tank... and I'm not necessarily recommending this, just offering it as an idea... tanks...

What does "in front keeps pumping out water". I have a feeling you're talking about the bilge pump, but it's not at all clear and I don't want to assume if there's something else you're trying to say. It helps to include your model, as well. However... assuming... the most likely cause is...

It's not abnormal to see the on-engine fuel/water separator only be about 2/3 full - in fact, that's quite normal. But, I would further question what you mean by the "bulb losing pressure"? Also, have you checked/experimented with the venting stuff I had mentioned? Not all of it requires you...

Waiting to hear clarification from Doc as to what he's really wondering about, but... I used to take a length of 3/4" black, heater hose and slit it lengthwise. It snaps right over the chain nicely. When you're using the windlass, simply snap the hose over your bowrail. When I added a...

Since it's a bracket model, though, that greatly lowers (I don't want to say "completely eliminates since anything is possible) the liklihood of transom rot. Most of those issues happen with open transoms that use "bang caps" to cover a poorly mated hull/deck joint. There's no specific issues...

That could be - my expereince with Pro Mariner is with the ProNautic series that I mentioned above. With that, though, I actually have quite a bit of experience - not just on my own boats, but also the few hundred that have come through the shop with that setup. But I have zero experience with...

Sure, I'm familiar with stern anchoring - I just wasn't completely sure that's what Doc meant - or maybe he meant something else. Hence the quesiton about clarification as sometimes in tight quarters people will use two off the bow. I'm not touching your last statement... other than to say...

Except this isn't true - or at least it isn't always true. For example, the ProMariner set up is grounded only to the main negative bus bar. There are no negative leads going to the batteries, only positive. I'm not sure if that helps or hurts in your and Seasick's conversation... ;)

:)

Yup - standard issue stuff. I wouldn't use a "standard thumb screw", though. The kind you find at hardware stores will typically be regular steel.

Good point. If he doesn't already have the aux cable from one of the engines (for some reason, I thought that started to become an option, rather than standard issue?)... I think I would rather install the ACR than go through the hassle of running the aux cable through the rigging hose. I...

Just to be clear, you either have a windlass or a bow roller so the anchor stays stowed in the roller? And the issue is that the chain is loose/sloppy and banging around on the pulpit? Why are you using two anchors? Is the area REALLY tight where you can't let the boat swing? Just a quick...

Who is the "charger tech support staff"? The reason that your original setup only had a single charging lead going to the 2-bank setup is simple... Grady put a less expensive, lower amperage, 2-bank charger in there. 2-bank being the main reason, of course. As mentioned a few times, best...

Is it fixable?

Bayson, it would help to have a picture of your dock since there many variations. Depending on it's setup will determine what may/may not work. For example, a string tied about 8" off the railing will prevent them from landing there.

You might get lucky by googling for marine salvage yards. Other than that, your most likely best course of action is to fix it or rebuild/replicate it.

Or, it could be that the previous owner just never opened her up. Low speed idling and cruising looks like how it was used. Just a bunch of guessing and inferences, though, at this point.

It's 60 on my parent's 2000 Tournament. But go to Grady's site and download the manual or pull the access plate and look at the tag on the tank.

OK, thank you for the clarification. No, need to take pics of the trim gauge. Just for clarification, I'm summing up "proper" trim use (forget about the tabs for now as your boat should do fine without them). You may know all this, but just in case... -- Always start with full down trim. --...
