Recently took delivery of our winter project, a 1992 explorer 246G with gradydrive and twin '92 Yamaha 150s of the same vintage, sub 500 hours. One needs a lower unit replacement, we'll run these 2 strokes until they won't run anymore and we'll repower. Twins are important for us as its a 60 mile run to the gulf and the peace of mind of having twins is priceless. We have Florence bearing down on us here in coastal NC (Holden beach area) so we had the boat taken straight to an open area with no trees so I figured I'd ask a few questions here.
Our boat (per the PO) does not have the auxiliary tank, I'd like to double check this and if not, have one put in. Where is/should it be located?
We have the grady drive so the tall closed in transom, the center 'tank' on the stern looks like it should be a livewell (and I would love it to be) but was told by the PO its just a cooler. Is this generally the case or an option that wasn't chosen?
Also any other information/advice on this vintage Explorer would be greatly appreciated. We;ll be slipping it year round and changing the thru hulls to stainless is already at the top of the checklist.
Thanks in advance!
