    Looking At A 1992 LUHRS TOURNAMENT 342

    No they are not known for hull rot. Bottom is solid glass , my 96 32 Open has cored sides and deck. Stringers are glassed in with no voids and a good 4" of overlap on the glass. A survey is recommended and may be needed for insurance purposes as well. Early 90s they stepped up there quality on...

    Smokercraft 162 pro mag bow always high

    Your prop should be matched to your max rated RPMs . Your either going to lug it to death or over rev it and watch it blow. Maybe, your first prop has a spun hub ? Have you verified that ? Can you talk to the PO and ask him what he was getting speed wise ?

    Smokercraft 162 pro mag bow always high

    If waterlogged it may be evenly soaked , not just the stern area. Foam will hold the water , so you will not see any water from that in the bilge. Easiest way to check it is to weigh her and check that vs factory spec. Taking into account any extra weight like gas , batteries gear and anything...

    Looking At A 1992 LUHRS TOURNAMENT 342

    Luhrs Owners Group on Facebook is your place to go for questions about Luhrs. Can also read the right up.review on Luhrs @ www.Yachtsurvey.com I have a 1996 32 Open with 454s. These are not throwaway boats and IMHO the comment about boats designed for 15 years is BS. I bet 90% of the Charter...

    Reverse 454 Backfiring

    Did you swap out the plug wires ? Firing order is different than a standard rotation . I would start with the plug wires. If it wasn't popping before then you better backtrack whatever you replaced . The carb may be dumping fuel into it because the float / gasket or needle and seat are messed...

    1999 21FT Fish Master Tank Capacity

    Do not know how easy your access is, there should be a stamp/or extra metal plate on the top of the tank ,usually by the sending unit with capacity listed. Other option is to take the measurements then Google how to get capacity of tank with measurements. Remember you will have a few gallons of...

    Rough cost of replacing snap-in carpet with Sea Deck

    Probably 2500 - 3 000 depending on location and if installer is busy. I just weighed both options and after talking to a dealer for both Marine Mat and Seadek who showed me boats he did with both products and what to expect. I went with the snap in marine mat.Seadek can lift in the corners ...

    Where to mount my transducer?

    Let me get this straight , motor is centered and you do " not have 15" of clearance . So your telling us your boat is less than 30" wide ? Uhhh OK . Looking at your picture I would install it on the outside of your roller bunk.

    Deck carpet layout

    Then I am still confused , he states deck is 1.7m wide and material is 1.8 wide. In my mind 1.8 will cover 1.7 without any seams needed.

    Deck carpet layout

    Not sure I understand what the " stitch " is means or "gunnel " for that matter. gunwale , which is the topside of the sides of your boat that you step on to get in the boat. Think you mean fastening along the sides . If your talking about fastening the carpet to the deck , mine was just done...

    Bladders insert for fuel tank leak

    I am curious as to how you could insert a bladder thick enough to stop a leak and flimsy enough to stuff it through your 2" or so sending unit access hole ? Then you have the fill hole and air vent to deal with. After reading what I wrote , someone please send me a link to these " insertable...

    Engine bay part identify

    Seriously you give zero info , show a lousy picture and want us to guess where your hoses go. Get down on your hands and knees ( like we all did when we started out and I still do it to this day with wires and what not. )and follow the hose ,have someone else in the engine bay if need be and...

    Bayliner toilet 2651

    No the shower drain should have a separate bilge pump located in small plastic container that catches the crud before it hits the bilge. No macerator pumps on boats that are on fresh / inland waters. If it had one ,in all likelyhood you would have a valve to open when using it and close it...

    Transom Browning

    Pain to remove unless you buy the appropriate hull cleaner, which will probably have some sort of muratic acid in it . You can buy that from a hardware store and dilute it vs the "hull cleaner " Wipe or spray on wait a few minutes and wash off. THE big thing here is you should cover you trailer...

    TaylorMade Vector Compact AC trouble

    Tamp Bay Marine Air .com would be the place I called or at least check out the website. Just has a issue , circuit board and controller had to be replaced . I would think that might be what you need , not the whole friggin thing . For what they cost and using it for a couple months at most if...

    My boat won't get up on plane with 2 people on board.

    Tabs will help , but not solve your issue long term. I will say it again, your underpowered by a lot , you need at least a 35 hp and a 40 would be my choice , if you want a nice running rig. You are going to work that motor to death , plain and simple.

    My boat won't get up on plane with 2 people on board.

    You are underpowered for the load your carrying , period. Going down in pitch will help you get out of the hole , but you are going to lose top end speed when you are out solo. Next up, do you have a tach ? It's a guessing game without it AND if you go down in pitch you have to be aware that...
