    Vault Wheel Hubs

    Which version do you want to discuss.....lol There have been many versions of "sealed", grease and oil hubs fitting your description that have come and gone in the past 10-15 years. All involved rather high inital costs and involved maintenance procedures that the normal owner doesn't have...

    Prop question

    Looks like your WOT range is 5150 to 5850. if that's true, you're 400-500 rpm shy of where you want to be What diameter is that 11" prop? A 4 blade is going to make things worst. If your go with the rule of thumb, 200=1, you need to drop down to 8 or 9" prop. Don't know that they even make...

    Fuel vapor separator leaking Suzuki 115HP

    Check the condition of the low pressure fuel pump Pretty common for a high pressure pump to vent to atmosphere when the low pressure pump is on the way out. Can't build enough pressure to keep the vent valve shut

    Blue Sea Add A Battery query

    Been running a ACR since 2015. Has never cause any issues Not all too concerned with 0.015 Ah drain. Comes out to 10 Ah per month Have 14 times that in capacity in each battery. Confirmed or speculative? Easy enough to alternate monitoring of sense lines with a common sensor

    Tahoe 1950 Deckboat - fish finder overheat

    Guessing its the power supply or LCD display given that most electronic components are rated to 140F. Lots of PS and most LCD displays are only rated to 122F. A LED display gets you up to 140F with the rest of the components You need to move the unit to the shade to eliminate the source of...

    2024 PartyBarge 16 modifications

    It’s a proprietary CAN based protocol. Easier to switch over to NMEA 2000 to utilize the large variety of plug and play displays and components available. Can interface to most fish finders, chartplotter etc. to display engine data on the screen

    recommendations for a little starting battery or should I run long wires?

    In this day and age there is no reason to use a full size FLA battery to power a 25 HP, 16’ John boat. You have no problem powering the boat with a U1 size, AGM, SLA battery. The U1 is 8” x 5” x 6” weighs less than #20. Rated 200cca, 35 AH. Can be mounted anywhere. Even upside down

    EZ lube hubs and cold water

    Looked that them when I bought a new trailer last spring. 40+ years of bearing and seal design experience in a heavy industry. Liked the off the shelf design, but service restrictions really turned me off. 20+ years of experience with EZ lube hubs. Installed wear sleeves and replaced the...

    Help with my vessel view please!

    The “little digital device” is the Smartcraft display to interface with the motor. Everything you want should be available on that display unless something is wrong with the interface.

    Why is my System Check alarm sounding?

    Might want to check your voltage regulator Erratic tach readings and weird voltage surges are typical failures of a voltage regulator on the way

    Need with what Battery is needed

    Don't know about that…….stereos draw huge amounts of current. Don't see any “fishing” boats with wake towers and high powered stereos..;) May not be typical of a small boat owner, but boats on our waters typically run a full compliment of navigation equipment and accessories as I do. Anyhow...

    Need with what Battery is needed

    Either you have taken things out of context to prove self right or you have a reading comprehension problem. The post below was to advise the OP that rated output of the charging system is per hour of run time. Where exactly does it say anything about me going to sand bars?

    Could this ignition coil cause any damage?

    Don't confuse a ignition type “capacitor discharge” with an aftermarket manufacturer of ignition components, CDI Electronics

    I boat to fish…. have absolutely no interest in any “sand bars” except the ones they call the OBX. Those I fish from a beach buggy…lol Inshore/ Offshore. 12 hour days offshore, 6-8 hour days inshore. Most days are 100% run time. Even then, I typical run a deficit at the end of the day. No...
