Obviously boat stayed on trailer in spite of not being tied down. I don't understand how there is no paperwork to be signed when they take the boat and assume liability for it. An untied boat is actually not only a road hazard but totally unprofessional and that carrier should be removed from a...

As hookup says, at pump out station also flush by pushing water in through pump out opening, fresh water hose in to add some water then sucki tall out again a few times to get bottom stale stuff to move and out. That's how they did at our marina suction hose in one hand and fresh water hose on...

I get RV water treatment from Walmart and use that in Fresh water tank. I do run it "dry" once in 2 months and tend to keep it on the full side in normal use. For the Vacuflush system I also use camper RV, stuff from Walmart and add some through the toilet flush. The entire head is as far as...

From Wikipedia Marine grade stainless alloys typically contain molybdenum to resist the corrosive effects of NaCl or salt in seawater. Concentrations of salt in seawater can vary, and splash zones can cause concentrations to increase dramatically from the spray and evaporation. SAE 316...

I need to recaulk several areas but worst is the cockpit deck over the fuel tank. Discolored and cracking. Gunnel areas are somewhat discolored but not cracked. No leaks so far anyway so I can take my time but for looks I need to take care of it.

I kind of remember that I had to register with GW as a new owner, not sure if it would have been for motors but I thought I did that with YAmaha separately. Reading the manual: Five Year Hull Transferable Warranty, One Year Material and Workmanship Warranty (Original owner only). So based on...

Are there any signs of scratches/damage to the HW? Always contact GW (not dealer unless u bought from aGW one) and see what they say. Otherwise use some rust removers and polish well with a steel polish. I have no corrosion on any of the HW (2019) but I do have some reoccurring rust stains from...

How did you mix them? In what form did you get them, cartridge?

I guess the daily updates would have to be downloaded daily to your SD card. I don't have active captain and I don't have Garmin, just plain axiom pro Raymarin........ but same cartography I assume from Navionics (now GArmin owned) My understanding of all the update stuff is that people who...

All good comments which I agree with. the push ins I've seen used in telecom small wire applications. They are specified for solid 20-12 AWG and stranded 16-12 <=19 str (18 for 7 strand) stranded tinned 18-14 AWG. Needed magnifying glass to read that on bag. The marine environment in S FL is...

Ok went and looked at some other splicers/connectors and found some I thought would work. Like the ones in picture below. When I got home I did my diligence test to make sure they would not be magnetic, well they are. So the conductor material is magnetic and that is no good so no use for this...

Car key trick might work, I've gone back for them a few times when put in drawer and I use them to remember to take other things with me..... MOB is another idea but the ignition is off already then so it would not work anymore, I do have one available though. I guess best bet is to get burned...

Not really since when I am done, I walk away and the marina crew comes with forklift and takes it in. I do however bicycle by the boat every morning on my 6 mile exercise trip and I should go closer cause then I could see if the rear camera is on, a red light would be visible in the dim light...

Yes that's what I used...... the new ones would have been better, I can still replace them. The challenge was as always access to it all and starting to peel the wires didn't appeal to me in the limited space. It would probably have been a little safer but this is not a deal breaker right now...

Good idea in general but I just have a fob and it stays on the boat (rack stored). The best probably still is to just have radio on higher volume and not try to spare batteries while washing and prepping boat for rack where it cannot stay on charger all the time. Another thought I've had is to...

I have now a few times forgotten to turn off the batteries when leaving boat for days/weeks etc. I have found out the hard way that it does drain the house battery fairly quickly and battery is on good shape when load testing it. I do have at least two cameras and all the Yamaha electronics...

Ok done, Drilled the 2 1/16 in (52mm) hole with a 2in drill and made it larger with a scratching? Drill bit. An odd tool but that's done. Hooked all three engines up with T connector (blade!!) and made sure I can get to all connections easily when needed. Also to the bypass cap on the Fell Hub...

Agree

Well,well, that is an idea that is easily accommodated as an after market modification by an upholstery shop or similar. The zipper though has to be rugged strong and not clogging up by oxidation, so plastic most likely. A good idea, easy to do and all you need is to mount rocker launchers high...

Decided to order the FEll one as I already have some components for it. I did have a closer look at the kill switch and there are three sets of white and black wires going in to switch and I can splice in with T to them and that should work. Finding a good location for the hole to be drilled is...
