First you ask if a 150 is enough power and then you ask if you can increase hp by flashing the ECU. I guess you have your doubts. I am sure you will get actual user replies on this forum. Did you get a written report for the survey. I am curious. Personally based on similar hulls, I would like a...

Did you try the email BMI_Info@Yamaha-motor.com I am sorry to hear that support it tough to get. In the past Bennett has been a model of excellent support. RIP Tabman.

Just to add my 2 cents ( again:)) A wet translon is not necessarily a deal breaker. Core rot, delamination or structural damage is a different story. The amount of moisture and it location are important factors. Take the case where someone left some screw holes in the inside of the transom ( in...

Maybe but if for example you run a marina or a non/not for profit organization, you may be required under the American's with Disabilities Act to provide ADA compliant access to the public. In addition to compliant general access to a slip or dock, a means of loading a person may be mandated...

I doubt it is the antenna. In the old days it was a bad idea to transmit without the antenna or a dummy load connected. I don't know if todays radios protect against that situation but I personally wouldn't try it to see what happens. Even if the final amp stage blew out, that most likely won't...

The more boats you see, the better your chances of knowing when you see the right one. Good luck with your search.

All he has to do is buy a custom new boat! I was thinking more along the lines of...

either the radio is bad or you have a corroded electrical connection on either the 12v feed or the ground. When you transmit the radio draws a lot more current and if there is a bad connection that has high resistance that will cause a voltage drop, enough to shut down the radio. So work...

If you are thinking about making a new hull opening, I think that would be just not practical. At my club we had to look into making some slips ADA compliant. The wheelchair issue is just one of the challenges. If you wanted just the ability to lift a person in a wheelchair onto and off of your...

I don't know how to interpret thermal imaging of a hull. Thermal imaging shows temperatures and I don't know how temp differences relate to moisture content. It's new to me. They are not all wet either. FYI, the condition he said he didn't see is delamination not decontamination. Did you pay...

BobbyMac, Good to know. Did you find out about the shrink wrap only to the rub rail by personal experience? I hope not:)

If you have a deck panel that can be removed, the job is easier than if you don't. That said, assume that when you open the deck and pull the old tank, you may or may not find other areas that need attention.

Quite hard to tell . I can't really see where the anti-ventilation plate sits relative to the keel. The bracket will make a difference but the real test is a thorough sea trial by you if you are experienced or someone else like the surveyor. You might want to ask what holes the motor is...

There are Speedometer config settings for tank calibration. I think it is under the heading External Sensors in the CAL 2 menus ( It might be CAL 1) You have to make sure you set the sensor as fuel tank of course. Then you need to select the option to calibrate ( as opposed to SKIP option). You...

Thanks for the link. The presentation was done quite well and made some important statements. My point about the readings being unreliable over bottom paint according to the presentation may not be 100% accurate but there are a caveats mentioned; First of all, the meters he used are designed...

I would like to see that video. Was the bottom paint copper based? I would like to know what meter was used. The fact that your readings didn't show any moisture on multiple places around the boat except for the transom is not what I would expect. In most cases, lids for anchor lockers, live...

The Jabsco site has pretty good diagrams for the plumbing. One thing to note is that the discharge through-hull is often on the bottom of the hull. I mention that since installing a new through hull in the bottom is a bigger job than through the side. In addition, that through hull is a larger...

No, you cant powder coat fiberglass. I am not clear if youare saying that your bracket is aluminum or it is fiberglass. It looks like the bracket was painted with the same bottom paint as the hull. If that is true and the hull was painted with copper based paint and the bracket is metal it is...

One other risk leaving it in the slip is damage from other boats that may not have been securely tied up or from slips that fail. The funny or not so funny thing about Sandy was that all my damage was on land from boats floating around and piling up in spots as the 'fleet' hit a tree or a power...

Good luck with the storm. Hopefully it will stay on its eastern track
