    2018 Yamaha 40 HP that dies after about 20 minutes

    A vacuumed down gas tank will take hours to leak out a complete vacuum. Great observation about the screw being closed. Somebody did it. It could have vibrated straight down ? Back it open and put a little pressure on the screw to make sure it does not drift down again.

    Salt water leak

    I would wipe off REMOVE all water stains from ALL surfaces. Then start running the boat to pin point where and HOW MANY leaks you have. Serviced and inspected ?????? Dump the marina !!!! They are just taking your money the easiest way possible.

    Low Voltage to the Ignition Switch

    I read your first post. Also the age of the boat. Sure sounds like the boat was FLOODED at least 1 time. To have so many and much voltage drops everywhere. Fuses and WIRING. DO NOT ever corrode. If never flooded.

    I want to place a metal patch on a Zinc-Coated steel gasoline tank opening.

    I am waiting for a large tank manufacturer to reply on that topic. Did cars and boats have SEALED gas tanks way back in time ?

    Can not remember the companies. But their own BMS ran the batteries down to recharge point endlessly.

    I want to place a metal patch on a Zinc-Coated steel gasoline tank opening.

    Almost there. I could not be sure about the integrity of the big O ring sealing perfectly all summer with E 10 in it. So I ordered a new JEGS 42 gallon tank to be safer from any E gas slime in the old tank. Mcmaster has some nice large, see thru, fuel filters. So will order 1 tomorrow. The 25'...

    2018 Yamaha 40 HP that dies after about 20 minutes

    That pattern can be a electrical part that heats up and fails like clock work. Do a spark plug check on all cylinders. See if no spark is happening on all of them.

    I want to place a metal patch on a Zinc-Coated steel gasoline tank opening.

    I priced out Propane as a fuel. Best local fuel dealer said he could not FILL UP a tank until springtime. Quota used up. Oh well

    Can not stop wanting a Butterball Turkey.

    Cooking temperatures ? To kill positions in a Hawaiian fish? All I can remember is the statement that. :Normal cooking times will have no effect on the toxins. " Look up on the web that statement on the web. Scary Might pick seafoods more carefully from now on.

    Can not stop wanting a Butterball Turkey.

    I am tempted to split the bird into 2 attached 1/2s in a double Roasting Bag. So all of the white gets evenly cooked using my new electronic probe to keep track of thickest White Meat section. I will probably Aluminum foil cover the thinner meat areas to prevent dried out areas. We do try. :)

    I want to place a metal patch on a Zinc-Coated steel gasoline tank opening.

    Thank you dingbat. I will open the sealed tank tomorrow. To see if the 1 gallon in a SEALED CLOSED 40 gallon tank is O K with no slime separation on inside metal surfaces. If clean great. If gooky ? I will Acetone it if possible. Worst case ? I buy a new JEGS 40 gallon tank. Can not have crud...

    Hanging fenders from rail post

    On any floating dock I use a lot. I have the horizontal floaters with a hole at each end. The float ends are tied in a way underwater that does NOT ALLOW the fender to rise above the dock. A huge wave WILL NOT move the fender up at all. Works so far with White Caps from freighters. I use 1/2"...
