    2020 Rinker Express Cruiser 370 isenglass question

    Wouldn't Rinker be able to tell you the number of the eisenglass, and perhaps even provide a new one.

    Showing the Boston Whaler 13 some TLC . . .

    OK . . . New fuel pump installed and the engine is back up and running. There was a fairly large (and rusty) lifting arm for the now defunct trim/tilt system, which I removed by way of the impact driver. It makes for an easier reach for the tilt lock latch. The LU had a fair amount of...

    Bow light not working

    Unless we get some more info from the OP ( @rjmman ) it is all speculation. I am holding out for a SPDT switch with the wire reversed . . . :D

    Outboard loses prime, unless I stand the tank on end

    You might be able to get a view of the fuel pick-up from the cap fitting itself. Perhaps no need to take things apart. It seems like the fuel pick-up is not laying on the bottom of the tank. Does the fuel system prime if the tank is fairly full?

    1991 wellcraft rebuild

    As stated, some pictures will help. You probably have quite a bit of work ahead of you before fiddling with the engine/outdrive. You probably want to understand if there are any horsepower limits to the Wellcraft model that you have. While you are rebuilding the boat, you can keep an eye out...

    Broken Skeg

    Not sure the insurance company will entertain your claim for a lower unit. :unsure: If they do, just be prepared for the following year when you get the renewal pricing o_O

    Bow light not working

    I'm thinking it may be a SPDT switch and the wires are backwards. . . or the switch itself is upside down. Won't really know until we get a bit more info about the switch (pictures of switch . . . front & back)

    Bow light not working

    Can we get a picture of the back of the switch? Did the switch work properly before?

    Kodiak Anchor - Made by SouthCoast Marine . . .???

    All set . . . . . The rode does need some tension on it for it to make the transition from line to chain, but it should be fine. In doing a few test anchorings, I noticed that the bow roller had more sharp edges and was abrading the rode. So I did a bit more filing and sanding of the sharp...

    Faria SmartCraft Speedometer???

    Another update . . . I removed the 3-gauge cluster (2 Tachs & Speedo) to get a look at the wiring connections at the back of the gauges. The tachs have no secondary connection, only the primary 12-pin connector. The depth is going to the speedometer as the wiring diagram shows. I looked...

    Bow light not working

    When installing the new bow light, did you do anything at the switch? or did the wiring to the switch remain as it was previously?

    Kodiak Anchor - Made by SouthCoast Marine . . .???

    Yup, my rode is the 3-strand twisted . . . I tend to do better with braided or 8 plait. I used the tail end of the rode which is basically like new, since the rode has not been let out that far. I also tapered the strands and made sure to pull things tight as I went. Hopefully this...

    Kodiak Anchor - Made by SouthCoast Marine . . .???

    A bit of a fail today getting the anchor re-installed. It fit nicely, but . . . the backsplice was too fat for the windlass, so it would not get to the chain part when reeling it in. The OEM rode had a stainless steel crimp instead of the splice, but I'm not sure I can do the same. I brought...

    Boat not take off when everyone sitting in the back

    Yes, a people problem, not a mechanical issue. Sounds like you know the solution. :)

    1993 Reinell 196brxl fuel tank cap

    Welcome to iBoats . . . There should be access to the top of the fuel tank, perhaps via a hatch in the ski-locker or the cockpit sole. On the top of the tank near the fuel sender, there should be a certification label for the tank, which will include the capacity of the tank.

    CO2 issues

    FWIW - I had an issue with the exhaust 'down elbows' on my Mercruiser 7.4 (I know you have a V-P, but could be a similar situation). Saltwater took its toll on the aluminum exhaust duct. . . . There was a faint exhaust smell whenever I checked the engine bay while the engines were running...

    CO2 issues

    Wondering why you are running the blowers for an hour after you return to the dock? Is there an issue we are not hearing about? CO2 monitor would be in the cabin and a fume detector would be in the engine bay/bilge. Assuming it is the CO2 . . . then you probably have an exhaust leak. Salt...

    Dog Boarding From Water Options

    I have a 'Paws Aboard' ladder. It needs to be attached to a swim ladder, but probably could be attached to the boat in a similar way. It is a bit more stable and sturdy for large dogs. . . .

    High compression in 1 cylinder - 7.4 carb

    Make sure to get one with a 7mm (or less) camera probe, as 10mm is too big to get a good look into the cylinder.
