    Who installed the gas tank ? That's where I would start. It's a brand new boat have you contacted mfg ?

    prop depth on mini pontoon

    Your hull is basically a displacement style and will not go any faster with a 30 hp or 6 . So you giving it more throttle is not going to give you more speed . In theory of you take a line and run it from one toon to the other on the very bottom of them ,that is where your cavitation plate...

    What sort of device can I use with these connectors?

    Take pictures of your connectors , including make and model of transducer. There should be a waterproof tag on that cable with make and model . Now go to your local places that sell electronics and see what matches up .They do change over the years and adaptor cables are usually available or a...

    will not engage forward with engine running on baffles

    As mentioned,you probably did not line up the shift boot with the channel it goes in . Control should be in the forward position and the bronze boot should be facing straight forward. You can see it going on properly with a flashlight and lying on the ground. The lowered unit can be tightened up...

    blower CFM needed for proper ventilation

    I always turn my blower on before I start fueling . My theory is if there is any sort of electrical issue with the blower that might cause a spark , the spark would happen when you turn on the blower , not while it's running . Not sure if I am correct but I feel better doing it that way.

    blower CFM needed for proper ventilation

    Air comes in through the bow facing vent and stern facing is for air out . Exhaust hose should be as close to the lowest point near engine that it will fit . Vapor fumes are heavier than air and will settle at the lowest point possible. After fueling up with a small doghouse,open it up aftering...

    Fishing boat with cabin.

    Grady is way over rated . Just spent the day on a 23 Parker with a 300 Yammi hanging on it . A lot better than a Grady IMHO with a fishing deck that equals a 28 ' boat .

    New member here,not new to boats but never had to know the info I need now back then like I do now...LOL.

    Twin I/O s of that vintage were not counter rotating . The expense to convert is stupid . I had 2 straight 6s and just adjusted with trim tabs and raising the port drive more than the starboard side . Hull will list/ torque to port side , put as much weight , batteries ,holding tanks ,anchors...

    1993 262 Crowne

    If you can't trace any of the water lines to the tank and you have opened every nook and cranny and still can't find it , sell the boat and join some boat club .

    1993 262 Crowne

    Probably no manual ever came with it that would have any kind of schematics on it. Your going to have to trace the water lines to the tank. Starting at the faucet or outside fill tube. Most of the time they are in the engine compartment ( straight inboards )set up to off set some sort of...

    What is this port?

    I will put money on one of your two bellows as being the issue. I assume it's a Mercruiser drive. Just looking at them is not good enough. You have to pull the drive to properly inspect it. As in running your fingers across and into every crevice and fold. And that's not always 100% correct as...

    Hi all from new Searay owner

    And what did the retrofit cost you ? What did the boat cost if you recently bought it vs a standard engine drive set up. I don't care about fuel economy, it's a boat and that word does not have anything in common with economy . If people are going to whine about fuel and boats then maybe they...

    Slip size

    If the Marina is aware of it then go ahead and 3' ( 1- 1/2 foot per side ) is plenty of clearance . As far as you boat sticking out a few more feet I wouldn't worry about that . My boat sticks out about 8 feet and I am on the outside of a tight maybe 2 boats can fit turn in a harbor. And if no...

    Slip size

    Is the Marina good with that ? I really doubt it once they see your paperwork is for 50 in a 45 slip. How is the beam ? Of course it's going to have to he backed in as well.

    Are Boston Whalers as prone to waterlogging as other boats?

    I have seen Whalers motoring along in the Caribbean with parts of there sides missing / ripped off . Closed cell foam doesn't " absorb " water until a cell is compromised ,either from the hull pounding on it to screw holes and whatever else smacks the hull. Unless the hull is stupid heavy as in...

    Are Boston Whalers as prone to waterlogging as other boats?

    Nope . They did not use balsa wood. You can have 150 lbs of water in a 13 ' and never know it .
