I have also used them for siphoning out motorcycle tanks but I have always had the benefit of the bottom of the tank being significantly higher up than the receiving vessel. One word of caution with all of these methods is to make sure you can stop the flow. Lift top of hose up from tank but...

Another possibility is the Sand Anchor Spike which you put down in sand / zilch etc above water line and then beat down with the weight on it. Like this https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wKwPN-t6L._SL1500_.jpg It is easy to stow but it is not a real anchor so its only use is to be set on...

Dont assume anything is magnetic in the tank (or on the boat) . They tend to be aluminum or stainless but not iron. Only if you have a proper inspection hole can you see maybe with a scope or so and using pinchers fish something out. Of course a partially fidled tank is hard to penetrate with...

Thanks, have seen them at our marina doing some installation way back, when I already had one on the boat. I would have to cut open the forward deck as there only is a small round 6"? access right now. That's the least appealing part on top of cutting the holes in the hull. Using a normal frame...

my 335 Freedom does not have a thruster from factory. I find the joystick operation with triples is not satisfactory for docking and thus Considering installing a thruster but I see challenges in access for an installation. I suppose a new hatch would have to be opened/made up front to be able...

It is a very stable design compared with a deeper and sharper V like I had on my previous boat. GW is a great heavy steady boat.

And which one is less costly to make??????A sharp angle cuts through ex meat while a dull knife not so much. Water like jello. You are all making too much out of it, just enjoy boating as long as it is not "too" uncomfortable in 4 footers...................at moderate speeds. Or get a long...

Mine was never connected. The one in my cabin. I pulled out the switch panel and could see that the wires were not connected. The one at the helm stopped working, was a little harder to get to but removed the A/C vent and got to it that way and replaced with a newer version but still forgot to...

After Radio Shack disappeared all small electronic components got harder to pick out while browsing around. But yes that is possible to do and it certainly is less costly.

try to check by attaching a fish line to back end and pull forward and attach somewhere further up front and see how it follows the bottom, or shows air in between boat and line if there is a concave area. Easier said than done I'm sure but if yes then that can affect the direction water leaving...

If the boat also is 30 years old (or more) is it possible that the bottom flexes or has become a little concave on the trailer??? Just a thought.

If you run in waters with any bottom weed growth or floating algy or like. The stuff turtles etc like. Then the ventilation with rpm increase happens. I used to have this issue all the time with small (up to 20hp) 2-strokes when a kid. We ran in shallow waters and all the time the weeds got us...

I thought most thruster batteries are mounted up front to shorten cable length to a minimum? They take the beating and so do car batteries. Real hard pounding like hard crash is of course different for everything.

How about looking at lighter weight batteries? Drawback is that you need to make sure the new motors could charge them, and maybe replace onboard shore charger. And of course more $$ H

It calibrates as showing bottom (empty) with the external sender when u make sure the float is all the way down. When you then reconnect to in tank sensor it will register the level it are at. Remember all info it gives out is a resistance value based on the location of the float. It thinks you...

I did resolve it for the CL7 side. I have not resolved it on the raymarine side. I does show running miles and hours and on CL 7 I do get how much fuel is used but Raymarine figures are completely whacky. I have not reset the entire Axiom set up as I dont want to have to redo it all but will at...

Remember to compare to boat show pricing. Normally you I have seen up to 30% discounts quoted as show price. Not sure about GW but I would use that as a guide. The other question is who owns the boat now, GW or a dealer? A dealer would have to add their capital cost to see where their breakeven...

Yes % is from sender and it moves with the boat movement as fuel flows back or forward in tank. Not accurate for sure. Fuel flow is through some sensor and the theory is that the flow is used to calculate the burn over time until reset. The risk of fuel theft is low in my normal situation...

I believe the flow is correct as shown on both CL7 and Raymarine but the calculations for how much is used are off the chart with multiple decimal points. So as I said I use the NM for reference and compare to the sender shown level in tank.

I hope you still have warranty cover for them. I had some small hydraulic line create a pinhole and it just dripped a little in the barn where boat is kept, otherwise I wouldn't have detected it. The accredited Yamaha service outfit handled it and all was taken care of Under extended warranty...
