    Official Business of the 3V Club ( aka tri hull club )

    Do a little readin' over the restoration forums: I can't find a topic at the moment that's a mirror for yours. But there are plenty very similar. IMHO: to do it right, you're going to have to pull the top cap off the hull (disconnect at the rub rail seam), clean out the deck, put in new...

    Outdrive problems

    ^^^ yup: you can test power at the knife connectors for the electric shift. Port side, toward the back of the engine. Is this a new-to-you boat?

    first time boat

    Welcome aboard. Inland lakes? Big lakes or smaller? What type of cruising? Just you and a pal? Wife/girlfriend? Or are you taking out a whole party of people? Those types of questions will help the bunch of us make better suggestions.

    Bad News from a Family Member Today

    I'm sorry for all of the damage and hard time. That stinks. But thank God no one was injured.

    Official Business of the 3V Club ( aka tri hull club )

    Start a topic for it in the rebuilding forums. If you have photos from before you stripped out the deck and the stringers post 'em up there. The side pieces along the bottom of the gunwale were mostly for stowage. I think your stringers in that boat are all under the deck (not too much side...

    More history than present. Several people have tri-hulls, but the old types are kinda' dying out. Yours looks decent. What kind of ideas are you lookin' for? I may be able to point you to some projects I remember.

    HA! I'll never get it done. I can't believe how busy I am these days. Not to mention I'm in the 3V club on a visitor's pass: I wound up getting rid of my tri-hull a few years ago. Bummer that Red is over on Facebook and not here anymore.

    Haven't seen Redfury around in a while - easily over a year. He was who did those decals. Might have to find someone else to take up the torch.

    waterlogged hull

    You likely won't find one online. Those types of things aren't published normally. However, if you contact Mako they "might" be able to send you something to help you see the layout. I'd say pull the boat, get it nose high on the trailer and see if you get any water dripping for an extended...

    Yup. We closed the books on 2004 a while ago ;)

    Engine Overheating

    If the boat had been running normally up until the impeller change (as in it hadn't sat for years), then that would be my first suspect - either something was done wrong, or the aftermarket kit didn't work right. Can you test water flow up by the thermostat and make sure that you're pulling...

    Engine Overheating

    Welcome aboard: are you sure the impeller is installed properly? (Start with the basics, right?) - I'm assuming this is a boat you've replaced the the impeller before?

    Searching for LOWE'S SEA NYMPH SC175BL Owners Manual Content

    Boat manufacturers typically didn't/don't publish any sort of significant manual. So, it's not unusual to find one. The motor will have plenty available though.

    Fuel Fill Hose

    Look HERE based on your powerplant. Car alternator needs to come out and be replaced by a marine alternator. There are more differences, particularly the spark sheilding. Welcome aboard.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Approximately 300 structures "affected," but not all of them were destroyed (I've heard around 100). A couple of injuries but no deaths in the fires up in the Smokies. Sounds like the crews have them mostly controlled at this point - but they were having a couple of very dry days again (which is...
