I'm guessing the SS piece is some type of support leg - assuming the rubber foot goes against a vertical surface and the SS piece curves up and underneath something to support it. Just a WAG, though. I have no idea what your second picture is of. As Seasick mentioned, the charger SHOULD be...

I always say that you're not a REAL boater if you haven't forgotten the plug at least once. Apparently I'm a fantastic boater as I've forgotten it three times :) Each time yielded a fun story, though! Welcome to the club, Seasick.

You're right. Zip ties would be more effective. ;)

Never heard back from him, yet. Maybe he just duct taped the old battery cable end to the new one nice and tight. Should be good 'nuff and he saved some money!

Adding a deck plate isn't a structural issue. But if you can get your hands in there well enough to cut it apart, then go that route. And then get the "swingarm" style sender. If you want to put the same kind back in, though, it seems like you're gonna need the deck plate for install anyways...

That's rough - an older style sender would be able to come out, but that style looks impossible. I guess the only way would be to cut in another deck plate on the step. Is the "tube" of that sender plastic? You cut it off in sections to remove it... not sure it would be a good idea if it is...

Your English is fine - no worries! Those two little motors look like trolling motors. It's actually a pretty ingenious little design with the Lencos set up to lower them. I suspect that somewhere on the dash will be buttons to lower/raise them and then some type of control for speed. If...

Shore power equals AC power (120V). If the items you are referring to on this breaker box/panel are 120V items, then yes. If they are 12V items, then no. I can't say for sure on your model, but AC panels are typically located in a cabin.

The first thing that comes to mind is that you may be running with the engines trimmed down too far. This causes too much hull to be in the water and that causes a list to one side. This is very normal. If this is the case, the problem is not the boat - it's the captain ;) Trimming up will...

I don't know the exact answer for your boat, but commonly in the industry (assuming there's no visible screws on the top or bottom backside)... -- Friction fitted with plastic Christmas trees (gently pry while looking at the back side to verify) -- Look between the pleat for screws. Sometimes...

The bleach didn't take it out? Try using straight bleach and leave it on there for a good 5 minutes or so. Otherwise, it sounds like leaving it out in the sun may do the job.

:) :cool:

Hard to say if we've seen anything like that if we can't see it... ;) Sorry, couldn't resist!

The size powerboat I meant when I said "small" is under 40'. Anything under that length needs a white light seen from 360*. It can be a single light, or two lights where the masthead light covers about 2/3 of the 360* while the transom light would cover the other 1/3. Never should two white...

Yes, the ECO seems to last just as well as the non-ECO stuff. The last full painting I did -- well, actually my younger brother does that job ;) -- was 3 years ago. We just do the typical touch up in the beginning of each season. It still looked mostly decent this season, but we... I mean...

Can you post some pics? Otherwise we're just guessing. It could be nothing to worry about... could be a lot. Need pics, though.

Sunlight can do wonders. Otherwise, try the alcohol. If that doesn't work, you can use a mixture of bleach/water on a WHITE rag -- can you figure out why? :) Let the rag sit there for about five minutes and rinse. Reapply if needed. Bleach won't harm the vinyl - just try to avoid letting...

Yeah, there's really no such thing as "best" bottom paint. That's kinda like asking about the "best" oil... lot's of opinions. Now, I do happen to have a lot of experience (my own boats and hundreds that we have done at the shop) with the Hydrocoat ECO (copper free). As noted, it's more...

Two bulb mastlights are sometimes used in conjunction with a white stern light (attached directly to the transom), although this would be for a stern drive engine. There must be a white light able to be seen from 360* when the boat is running or just floating around. However, that 360* can be...

You mentioned the fuel bulb is hard and the clear filter on the engine is full. But, does the bulb STAY hard and the filter stay full - especially when the issue happens? FYI... the filter bowl shouldn't be "full" - usually it's about 2/3 full.
