If you feel along the sheath of the cable especially near the motor and feel something other than smooth, the internal cable sheath is probably corroded. Same thing goes for bending; If the cable bends OK in most areas but sort of doesn't at a particular spot , that section is also probably...

It should say on the registration and title. Hopefully you have the title doc. Titles are required in NJ and that boat has an NJ reg number. The extra bad news is that even when you find out the model, you probably will still going to have a heck of a time finding parts if it is that old.

If you have done the job before, you probably can do it but there are some tricks. Number one is taking apart the control carefully while documenting and taking pictures of everything as you disassemble. Some parts may fall out since some may be held in place by the side covers. You will benefit...

If that tank holds 32 gallons, it could take a fairly long time to fill. As a reference, take a 5 gallon pail or similar as long as you know the capacity and fill it with the hose while timing the fill, Let's say a 5G pail take 2 minutes to fill. Your tank would therefore take just over 6...

try looking for any printing on the existing cables, If present it will be at one end, maybe the helm, maybe the motor side. The part number will have the length coded in it.

Since you didn't see any obvious leaks, let's assume that the tank was filling slower than you expected. That can be due to several factors but one thing I find on my tank is that if I jam a hose nozzle into the fill too far, it kind of blocks the flow. To test that out, fill using a hose with...

I would guess it is there to prevent the two metal tanks from rubbing against each other and possibly also there to locate the tanks during assembly. I would install some sort of spacer if the old panel is removed. Don't use rubber.

Might be that simple but until you pull the fitting out and inspect, you can know for sure if there are other issues. The fitting is not held with the screws but rather with a nut on the threaded pipe that connects the strainer fitting to a seacock. Th screws just hold the strainer in alignment...

I was never able to find out for sure if my cushion covers were washable at all or dry cleanable for that mater. There are no care tags that I can find.

I currently only change my NKGs on my Yami SX about every three years. I used to swap them annually when the motor was newer. I never have had a defective plug in 15 years.

I don't think that possibility accounts for a rather consistent 20 second freeze. Sounds more like an auto pilot issue. When the steering 'locks' up, t it hard to turn or impossible to turn? As mentioned, was the auto pilot engaged?

That is news to me...

Go to the launch ramp that you would use and watch what others have as trailers. Bring lunch, and hang out. it may be entertaining! Really, see what works for other similar sized boats. It will be the best advice you can get.

April of next year?

It could be sticking valves but I am not sure especially if it locks up when you try turning both directions. It could be a problem with the steering cylinder or the motor steering hardware or the motor pivot shaft. First thing is, do you have power steering or autopilot?

Sometimes you will have a stereo preset memory feed and that would be a direct (non-switched) connection. Some CO detectors might also be directly connected. Of course, those connections could be mad at the switch on the battery feed terminal

Not critical but you don't want it spitting sea water inside the cowling, If it pops off, I would bet it also is spitting water.

Overheating at low speed can be a bad pump BUT if the overheat goes away when you speed up the revs, the more likely cause is a stuck open poppet valve. That is the standard test for a bad poppet. The water pump housing is not completely sealed and can spit some water when running. You can...

I agree with that approach. The livewell existing pump will be directly connected to the seacock in the bilge. If the boat never had a livewell, there may be a lot of work required to retrofit an existing installation. You will need a seacock if a separate pump is added, you will need plumbing...

Most likely Its the VST tank.. The clue is the symptom when in rougher seas. Your VST tank filter needs to be checked and probably replaced The plugs don't explain the intermittent hesitations. > Although the 7s will wok, next change use the 8s. I can't recall if the 8s are hotter or cooler but...
