    Steering Gearing - Two Engine steering on a solar cell driven Catamaran.

    Hello. I have a duplicate post in other section, if not allowed I will have the other one removed. I am renovating my boat and thought that replacing the control cables might be a good idea because the engine grinds when switching gear. It is also pretty difficult to feel when it goes into...

    Hard time priming the fuel to the engine

    The anti-siphon valve on the fuel tank is easily accessible. The bulb is located 1-2' from the tank below the deck, then the fuel lines goes up to the water separator. Tank (anti-siphon) -> Bulb -> Water separator -> Engine inlet -> Fuel pump -> Fuel filter -> Engine I would need to check if...

    Hard time priming the fuel to the engine

    Yes, there is an anti-siphon valve directly on the fuel tank. I've been thinking of switching out the fuel lines and moving the bulb to the splash well but it would need to be horizontally if placed right before the water separator. Would that be fine? Right not its horizontally right below...

    Hard time priming the fuel to the engine

    Hi. I am doing some renovations to my Angler 204FX boat with a 2005 Mercury 150hp XL SWB 2-stroke oil injected outboard. I think the issue that I am having should be my priority, before doing any other upgrades but I learned to live with it I guess. Most of the time I need to prime the bulb for...

    Renovating the deck floor top layer

    Thank you, I will consider these options. I am trying to remove the EVA foam adhesive which is terrible and sending the whole diamond pattern flat since there is a lot of bubble chips. I am investing a lot in the boat recently so I don't want to spend too much on the deck. What do you think...

    Mercury Binnacle remote control - Gen 1 vs Gen 2. Worth the upgrade?

    Hello. I am renovating my boat and thought that replacing the control cables might be a good idea because the engine grinds when switching gear. It is also pretty difficult to feel when it goes into neutral and it's very easy to jump from one gear to the next one skipping neutral. It feels stiff...

    Renovating the deck floor top layer

    Hi. I am renovating my center console boat and thought that it might need the floor deck to be renewed. It has an Eva foam which I removed and noticed that some of the areas do not look too good. I was going to apply a thin layer of gel coat, however the the deck has a non-skid diamond pattern...

    Looking to buy a budget saltwater boat

    Thank you so much for the information! Irs extremely helpful. The Angler comes with a second engine, same but few years older. Its been partially rebuilt and works too. The seller would also be willing to lower the price to $14.5k. It seems like a great boat, the seller is very knowledge and he...

    Looking to buy a budget saltwater boat

    I am very close to Anclote Key and these are the islands which I meant, they're just 3-5 miles away. I will surely look into some courses before I get behind the steering wheel, my dad drove a boat multiple times so he will be the one using it at first. The boats from my first post were not...

    Looking to buy a budget saltwater boat

    Hi. I live in Tampa Bay area, Gulf Coast, FL. I am looking to buy a boat for few weeks now and having a hard time purchasing one. I would use it for fishing, chilling with my family and driving to nearby islands. A center console might not be too comfortable for my family members but I decided...
