not sure about your engines but my old ox66 was a nightmare. unit was bolted to the block and cooled by salt water flow. needless to say bolts were hard to get out and one sheared. had to drill it out and tap hole which miraculously worked. good luck. ps symptoms were similar to yours which...

Scrubbing with brush on right angle drill and acetone wash seems to have worked so far. Now thinking of restoring the helm chairs. I have new cushions but want to paint or gelcoat the arms and base. Looking for advice.

this is not a pie hole but a 2x4 foot deck plate

Got my hatch for the rear deck plate and installed it. Prior to install sprayed the plate with gelcoat. My color match is horrible, added way to much beige to try to achieve off white. Would have been better off with no added color. I would like to recoat but on the last spray coat I added...

One of the first things I did on my boat was to pull all the non functional ac stuff. Cook top, microwave, fridge and the entire ac panel in the cabin. Made a dc panel to replace old ac/dc panel. I did leave the wire from the original 30 amp plug to the cabin bulkhead as a just in case. Have...

bought a 13x30 hatch

Pulling up my deck plates to reseal and inspect. The rear plate in this picture is over the bilge. Since I have owned the boat it has never been screwed down. Reason being it is the only way to access the bait tank and washdown sea cocks and float switch. This could not possibly be done...

These ACRs are voltage sensing relays and I would imagine have diodes? which prevent current from passing from the house bank. To me that would mean a voltage spike causing the problem not voltage drop. I did wire a switch to the negative of the ACRs so they are disabled during charging when...

i did and all but one wiring diagram shows si wire going to start lug on key switch. mine are sealed units and as i said cutting harness may void warranty. one diagram did show the si wire going to the starting wire connection on the starter solenoid. seems that would suffice and a wire could...

batteries are are sized appropriate and good condition. wiring is new and good as well. devices are powered by house bank which other than the acr's charge circuit are fully independent.

i may be wrong but i also remember them saying cutting wire at the switch may void warranty?

house and start are separated with exception of acr's. as you may be aware the df250 lacks the aux charge wire commonly found elsewhere. prior to hanging the new engines i redid the battery compartment and added 2 blue seas acr's. i provided the shop with a wire from the ignition start...

material for my full cockpit deck 500$, owner supplied labor. I would guess with miscellaneous cost well over 9000$

Anybody used this product to mitigate soft spots on deck. I just got a quote of 10k to repair cockpit deck with months of work time using traditional technique. https://injectadeck.com/?v=34f435c6b599

Since the new 250 Zukes if you start the engines with the Raymarine MFD, Autopilot on they often go crazy. Lose GPS fix and have to be shut down and wait for them to come back. This sometimes happens when drifting or bottom fishing. Asked the shop when they hung engines to wire to prevent this...

was hesitant about internal zincs until saw a video of a 200hr service, now very inclined to change them out and give block a good flush. having never done it not sure if it could be done on the lift at next 100hr (300 total) so figure i will give it a go this pull, then not have to worry till...
