Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Bilge pump is down in the engine bay and pumps overboard. Cockpit drains are like scuppers and empty from the cockpit and straight out the sides. The water does not get to the bilge under normal circumstances. Thanks for the input though.
2006 Chaparral 216 SSI. Noticing wet carpet at the cockpit drain opening after cruising for a while. Wondering if there is a one way flap somewhere that is not performing. This is the first boat we have had with a cockpit drain. Port side drain giving the issue, starboard side drain seems fine...
Thanks so much for the responses. I will pass the information on. My friend has had only one kind of luck with this boat and motor so far. Thinking he needs to replace with a more user friendly outboard.
Needing item #24 (plastic piece) in water pump assembly for a buddy of mine. Anyone know if there is any availability anywhere. No luck with initial search. Part # 697706-1
Thanks in advance for any and all input.
Just got back from a fantastic afternoon on the lake. All is well and no warning horns when under way. temperature, oil pressure and all the gauges reading normal. Thanks again for the reassurance and advice.
No. I obviously didn't do it last year. Just had throttle in faste idle position at initial start up and gave it a "blip" while it was there. Won't be making a habit of it.
Thank You so much for the quick response. Will be heading for a ride shortly. This is our 2nd season with this boat. Obviously I didn't do this last season !!!! Took me by surprise today.
2006 5.0 MPI Mercruiser.
Alarm sounding at over 2500 RPM when in neutral. All fluid levels are OK and temperature and oil pressure are normal.
Is this a thing that happens in neutral ???
Not ventured further than the dock at this point until further invetigation.
Just got a Chaparral 215 SSI (2006) Loving the boat but never had the MPI before on a boat. Advice on the best grade of fuel to use would be appreciated. Ethanol free ?? octane rating ??? any information is helpful. Thanks in advance.
