    25 seapro 2 stroke - Oil/ fuel in water

    Could be.. It’s typically the result of the motor not getting up to temperature. My 200 HP does the same thing after a day of trolling in cold water. Goes way once water temps raise up a bit

    Must have NVRAM like most computerized things. They saved 50 cents going with the power requirement

    Aerator water Pump & drain overflow port.

    Guess I didn’t understand your question. My over flow goes out a thru hull in the wall of the tank. To drain the tank I simply pull the plug. Sounds like you have to unscrew the stand pipe to drain completely

    How do you guys mix Gas

    That was 40 some years ago…. Fuel and oil formulations are very different now. Synthetics, semi-synthetic and heavy solvent loads (ease of mixing and injector use) were not the norm back then. Some oil brands have now gone as far as to advertise their oil’s “self mixing” qualities

    They don’t “require” anything. It’s your choice to power memory or not.

    FELL Marine MOB+ Install

    This will be season 4. Had an auto-tether before this. Worked ok but not ideal. No regrets. Works as advertised. I’m free to roam about the cockpit

    Aerator water Pump & drain overflow port.

    The size of the body of water had nothing to do with pressure. It’s all about the drain relative to the water line. If the drain is below the water line you will have to wait until you trailer the boat. If the drain is above the water line like mine, it drains when you pull the plug

    FELL Marine MOB+ Install

    I have a kill switch built into the ignition switch but it’s useless if I’m up and about. Left the ignition intact and simply wired the MOB to the fuse panel at the helm. Wired in series with the kill switch in the ignition. Unit only draws 2.5W so the current drain is insignificant.

    Pull a plug. If it’s “clean” you have a water problem. Typically a head gasket

    bilge problem

    Should be no parasitic drain at all if the boat is wired correctly, i.e. nothing but bilge pump(s) wired directly to battery. Both of my batteries are completely isolated from any load on the boat when I turn the battery switch to off.

    Topping off a compass, what to use?

    Had to replace the seals and refill mine a couple years ago. Turns out “Compass oil” is odorless mineral spirits. $8 a quart at the hardware store Fill and put in freezer for a couple of hours
