    rewiring cobia 256 with twin outboards

    The switches in effect replace individually fused circuits. I would much rather setup and make a bunch of jumpers rather than install a 6 gang fuse panel and run individuals feeds to each switch. Good quality spade lugs don’t come off...

    Antenna for 203FX

    Couple of things.... People tend to wildly under estimate distances over water. I'm 5 miles out of the inlet before I look in the rear mirror. VHF is line of sight. Don't count on talking to anyone on shore at any given time due to ground clutter. Your fellow boaters are your best hope of...

    2001 Searay 210SD- Rear spay hose assy replacement

    We’re shooting in the dark w/o pictures. Hopefully you can get to the pump connection? When I replaced my (different boat), I pulled spray mount and disconnected the line at the pump. Tied a string to the hose and pulled it out. Pulled the new hose in with the string

    Bilge issue

    Sound like your air locked. Line runs upwards to outlet w/o flat spots in the line? Do you have an upward loop (trap) in the line running between the pump and the outlet?

    MAG 350 loses power after 20 minutes, need help

    Are you sure about that? Required by law on I/O boats Most ASV are housed in hose bibs. Check the fitting between the valve and the hose

    ATV and moving boat around on stone

    Pull my #7000 boat around the barn with an IH 234, 18 HP tractor. The golf cart would support the weight w/o an issue but don’t think the ~8HP motor would be up to the task

    Bluesea ACR cycling open/closed while not charging

    Possible but not likely. The ACR is controlled by voltage. Telay closes at 13.6 VDC and opens at 12.75 VDC in either battery. A battery on its own can’t generate 13.6 VDC. It needs a source to generate that much voltage. Are you sure the battery charger isn’t somehow on? What do the...

    Bluesea ACR cycling open/closed while not charging

    Open/Close Cycling If your electrical system is configured with a charging source that cannot supply the full load current being drawn from the receiving batteries, an open/close cycling process can occur.

    Troubleshooting 1999 Johnson 225 HO

    The motor has “System Check” feature that includes SLOW mode. As noted above, the alarm is oil supply side. Your problem most likely stems from the half-butt removal of the OMS (no VRO) system that didn’t disable the signals to System Check. Personally, I’d would put the oiling system back...

    Bad Gas tank design

    Guessing it’s one of the new fangled, zero emission tanks without a vent. If so, and if it’s anything like the gas cans, very well could be the new normal…..

    Rydlyme flush questions

    No such thing…..a CYA statement A ladle (elemental) analyst done on every heat to confirm adherence to the alloy specification of which there are literally 1,000s.

    Anyone know of MOSFET Rec/Reg installed on an outboard?

    Not sure how that works since regulators work by dissipating excess current as heat.
