    Sealant Around Center Console

    It’s not urgent unless it’s leaking Have never seen black chalk used in a boat. Don't think UV resistant chalk is available in black either

    A picture of the part would help

    Water in the fuel

    Been around since at least 1997 since mine has them on both tanks. https://www.perko.com/catalog/fuel_system_components/927/epa_compliant_sealed_flip_top_cap_fills_for_1-1_2_hose_with_vpr_-_angled_neck/ No vent fitting protruding through the side of the hull and no vent “loop” to worry about...

    What To Get?

    I'm guessing you mean 3 miles from the inlet, not the beach since you could be 2 miles off the beach yet 15 miles from "safe harbor". Well, that's no fun. Where is your sense of adventure? Now, timing the arrival of cold fronts while Striper fishing in early winter can get interesting. Have...

    What To Get?

    Inquiring minds want to know happens if you go say…3.1 miles from the beach?

    What To Get?

    Any boat can do all three, boils down to comfort under the prevailing conditions.

    Trim Fails Going Up Randomly

    Most things that come back to life after sitting for a bit are thermal related. By pass the relays to power the motor directly. Reverse wire polarity to see if problem stays or moves with wire swap

    Livewell and Interior design brainstorm

    Depends on your needs and usage. I primarily fish/troll so I wanted a large, open cockpit (outboard) with easy access to the (back) corners with lots of tackle and rod storage. Transom has large storage compartments on each side of the splash-well. Enclosures house the batteries, one on each...

    Water in the fuel

    By chance, do you have a self venting gas cap? Went 10 years before the stars aligned and had water come through the vent in the cap

    Trailer Brakes

    No to mention I know for a fact that China does not restrict inspection. Traveled to and from my ex-employers manufacturing facility in Shanghai many times over the years. Company offered me a 5 year, GM position at the facility prior to my departure Great opportunity. Would have taken the...

    Livewell and Interior design brainstorm

    Not sure what not fishing in salt has to do with fish boxes. The brine reference is to add salt to the ice to reduce the melting temperature a couple of degrees. Colder drinks, ice lasts longer. No square corners in bait wells. It’s probably easier to convert a cooler than prefab one when all...

    Why is my System Check alarm sounding?

    No really……could be on a threshold. Dropping from 1200 to 800 reduces fuel demand thus lowering the vacuum. On the other hand, the increased rpm could overcome any blockage in the fuel delivery system. The other possibility is the something in the throttle linkage (throttle lever/cable) is...

    Livewell and Interior design brainstorm

    You talking live well or bait well? Unless you bass fish competitively, there is no reason for a livewell. I quit keeping fish alive by wallow around in ambient, excrement laced water long ago. Fish intended for the table go in the fish box along with #80 of ice and a bucket of brine. A...

    Trailer Brakes

    I get a kick going through bearing maintenance threads….lol If the installer doesn’t have the skills or knowledge to determine if a bearing has issues w/o disassembly, you simply instruct them to disassemble and inspect each time Got to run out and put new seals and bearings in the pool pump...

    Why is my System Check alarm sounding?

    An alarm that goes away at high RPM would have me looking for an over heat condition or a fuel restriction, ie fuel filter(s) I get a rouge auditable alarm (no check engine light) every once in a while when running in slop when low on fuel. So far, nobody has been able to explain how or why...

    Trailer Brakes

    The "gullible people" sales pitch...... I can understand if a component has catastrophic damage, but uneven wear on a pad or a sticking caliper doesn't come close to falling under that category. The last caliper issue I experianced required sand paper, new slider bushings, and a tube of...

    Trailer Brakes

    I have integral rotors as well but just carry a spare, "ready to go" idler hub as a back up. Kodaik rotors have a lot of meat to them. Could have some money and just have them turned.

    WOT

    Right or wrong….I’ve always considered red line as the design limit of a motor. WOT as the operational limit of the motor. Motors are much happier, and under far less strain, when output far exceeds demand.
