This is up my alley….25 years of international contract and warranty negotiation experience under my belt.
The US has similar warranty provisions under the Magniso-Moss Warranty Act.
Problem is….there are so many “loop holes” you could drive a truck through them. All I can say is beware of...
The rate of self discharged is a function of temperature….cooler better for storage
purposes.
My boat typically sits 3.5 to 4 months in the winter. I just top off (charge) the batteries, make sure the battery switch is OFF and leave the batteries in the boat for the winter.
Throw the charger...
What caused the over temp?
It’s possible that the over temp was the result of lean condition.
Don’t leave the malfunctioning temp sensor circuit open. Jump it out to make sure the controller is getting the appropriate feedback.
The OEM manual has a procedure to test the fuel pump off the...
Are you using OEM or aftermarket tubing?
How old is the tubing? Service life is typically 8-10 years. The OE hoses on my 200 where 14 yro when the powerhead was replaced
Hoses splitting at the fitting is typically a mismatch in size between fitting and tubing.
My 200 uses 3/32” tubing...
My longest daily commute was 180 miles round trip. Did that for a year.
I live in an area where commutes are measured in time not distance.
Case in point….the 35 mile drive to my office takes 30 minutes.
The 37 mile drive to my daughter’s house takes 60 minutes w/o traffic, 90 minutes with...
Interesting..most I’ve owned and it run are marketed as “self bailing”.
What is your interpretation?

“Self–bailing boats, or self–bailing hulls, are designed to remove water from the boat deck or cockpit area using gravity not pumps of any...
The first thing I do with a new motor is change the drain screw out for a hex head.
This one fits Evinrude, but I had the same design on my Merc I/o and outboards.

The Seav2 hull doesn’t like to run at slow speed. 18-20 mph is barely on plane. Still have a lot of running surface in the water
Cruising speed for my 226 is 4300 rpm @ 27 kts. (31mph).
The freezing of the carb throat is the result of the Venturi effect. A reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section of a pipe.
The Venturi effect can drop the ambient air temperature by 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
The basic operating principal behind a...
Transom pickups sux. Priming issues….
I have scoop type, thru hull pickups on my bait and washdown pumps. No problems priming. Have water flow thru bait well w/o pump running if anchored (tidal flow)
It’s your boat, but anything below the water should have a seacock just in case...
Interesting…. “specially formulated for HVAC copper pipes, HVAC condenser coils, tanks, valves, pumps, castings, water jackets, radiators, etc., and “where there is not constant exposures to water” in the same paragraph
