    Yamaha DES steering malfunction

    I assume you have Helm master EX with electric actuators at motors. That should be warranty issues if water gets into the electric system at the motors. Mine are older hydraulic rams at motor ends with the electronics and hydraulic pumps (one for each motor) sitting inside the boat almost...

    Canyon 306 Refueling problem

    I have been through this on my 2019 boat. One tank only. Calibration could only be done with empty tank!!!! So I got a new sender, disconnected old one while in tank, connected new sender and set it at Zero. Reconnected old one and let the system work its magic. Now it works. I do have a...

    Fischer Panda Generator 5KW oil and filter info

    2019 vintage, I put in as much as I got out. I estimated it to be about 2L ie 2.2 Qt. It is hard to measure the actual level on the stick now when oil is clean. I determined it was at least enough and after running it for 1/2 hour still hard to see level so I will rely on it being fine for now...

    Fischer Panda Generator 5KW oil and filter info

    Ok got the supplies now to change it and not flood the bilge with old black used diesel lubricant/oil. Don't know volume but will measure 2L , 2.2Q to start and measure. Will see how much I get out first including filter volume. 71.4 hours only on gen so pretty fresh.

    Orange fuel/Water?

    Some times the pick ups are at different level for different motors and of course generators so they don't run the tank dry. Leaving motors or one motor with more gas to run til the end .

    A/C in a cuddy cabin

    As mentioned see if GW has it as an option for that model. Most are AC powered and requires a separate water pump and thruhull water source. The portable one I use in my garage would work (AC 110V) and it only requires a vent which could be a porthole. They do take up space though, and can...

    engine Cowl

    At our marina there is a guy that I know have repaired hairline cracks etc esp on Verado cowlings. He also fixed a slightly more damaged area around the "chaps". This same guy normally fixes fiberglass damage so those two areas are pretty much one and the same. There are salvaged cowlings around...

    Fischer Panda Generator 5KW oil and filter info

    It does have what looks like an automotive filter can and I got the numbers off it HH150-32430, so will look it up. of course it is on the back side so hard to get to and also Oil fill is half covered by cockpit deck so funne is required with risk for oil spills at every juncture. H

    Fischer Panda Generator 5KW oil and filter info

    Changing Oil and filter probably for the first time on this Genny. In South FL oiltype is clear 10-40 Diesel ie CC but what is the volume it takes. Could not find anything in the manuals except Kubota engine either 2L or 2.5L depending on depth of oil pan. But they have a caveat for marine gen...

    Receiver recommendation

    SiriusXM I use on the boat through phone and that one is part of car subscriptions. Works well and can stream any other radio or pandora etc the same way. In my car I replaced old unit (American sized double in Jeep) with a Sony one came with adapter that added a cubbyhole underneath the unit...

    Pre-Purchase Survey

    If it is an older boat TWO YEars can be very destructive. If it is a newer boat then it is mainly a question of how it has been cared for. I have always done the surveys myself but all boats I've sold have been professionally surveyed. And as I am meticulous there has never been anything found...

    307 sureshade trouble :(

    On the 335 it is behind the dash board at low level accessible from head compartment. I hade a problem with one side not working at all and was in touch with shureshade service and they were fantastic in all ways. Finally it turned out it was inside the Deutsch connector going to the controller...

    Opinions sought on bow table on newer Gradys

    What boat is in question? I have a Freedom 335 and the bow table is part of the port side bench. Can be lifted into higher position or left down for full length bench. Check brochures to see what it looks like. It doesn't sound like anything you have.

    Engine flush quick connect

    I did get them from CPC and they work BUT as was said it is much more efficient to connect at motor, better flow. When I get back in I have boat in wash rack. Spray the hull first one side then the other, then I connect hose to motor #1. Dry one side with shammy , walk back and move hose to...

    Fell MOB+ vs ACR OLAS Guardian

    Override is easy and for "permanent" you put the cap on the connecting wire and it is all out of the loop for controlling the ignition. This is on the FELL one.

    New model Freedom 415

    Most boys and girls find a mate and all do not like the same person...... Creature comfort is what u get with the DC, family or friends. Fishing you can do at the fish market, cheaper than running 60 miles out for usually nothing ......... I'm of course teasing but most boaters do NOT fish...

    2018 Freedom 307 Gunnel Caulk

    It seems the silicone is the one that creates mold spots, and the Sea Life is the one that is not. I have used the GE one in our bathrooms and maybe that is what I used under the T-Top when working on sun shade? What have u found to be easiest method to clean it all off the old caulk? Just pure...

    GW customer service?

    Prices go up when cost goes up. Material cost is up, labor cost is up, finance cost is up so no wonder boat prices are up as well. But having said that there are usually hefty margins in MSRP. We have noticed here that automotive dealers lots are full but no one is discounting yet, RV lots are...

    Shiply Is Horrible

    I guess it all depends on 1/how old the boat is 2) how has it been stored 3) how has it been cared for. Most of the boat here in my area are pretty well maintained and stored in racks either outdoor or indoor (hurricane 5 in my case) of course many sit on lifts but very few after all in water...
