    A wiring question

    Then you should be ok. But I’ve never seen that light of wire going to lightning fixtures. I know the fixtures themselves have light wires. I’ve installed interior led lighting in boats, had to run wiring to the whole works, 12 dimmable area lights. I ran 16 gauge for the main harness though...

    A wiring question

    Hhmm… 22 is fair light wire, however if you are running led lights it may be ok. Have to see how many amps you are running. look at this. https://www.proactiveyachtservice.com/news/how-to-size-your-boats-dc-electrical-wires

    Lesson learned

    Iv never had a broken block on any boat I’ve winterized. Done hundreds for customers, and many times of my own. Drain all water, run -100 through and go home. -50 is for fresh water systems in boats/rv’s, drinking water. Lately I don’t run anything in my engines and have been fine as long as...

    outdrive stuck

    Ok, so you don’t have the drive I was seeing in my head, if your shift dog is straight ahead it should come off. I was visualizing a bravo drive. Sorry. The above suggestions should work.

    Did the shift dog release?

    Lesson learned

    I certainly didn’t mean to offend you. I was taught how to winterize years ago by a merc shop. We would drain the block and power steering cooler, run the fluid through the muffs till it came out the exhaust. Never had an issue. Since joining on here I haven’t used freeze protection much...

    Upside down thermostat

    The diagram clearly shows the spring down.

    Upside down thermostat

    Because they are installed correctly with the spring down. If you install them with the spring up, it WILL overheat. I’m old school, what is a diacom? Or do you mean a diagram?

    115hp 2 stroke and quick connects.

    You have to get the correct fitting for proper fuel flow. There are several sizes.

    Lost Remote Control

    Lost all four of my remotes years ago. My kids got older and voted away, so I’m back to roughing it out myself…..

    115hp 2 stroke and quick connects.

    What Chris said. If you go with a quick connect, I prefer the Chrysler round connecters above the regular two pin connecters. They seal well and don't leak for me...

    Fuel smell after fueling up

    Yes. My fuel lines were old, 1985 boat. I would get the same thing after fueling up. Couldn't find the issue at first. The fill line was cracked but not all the way through, but it was enough to create a strong smell. New hoses corrected it. Very similar to plastic waste holding tanks, the...

    Stupid me, no oil

    Mount your bilge pump to a aluminum plate, attach the plate to the side of the stringer so next time you need to service it you can simply slide it out.

    Free boat with history of leak... worth it? Will a survey catch issues?

    I’ve seen a lot of boats in my lifetime that passed the survey with flying colors. Then they get to our shop with multiple issues. Including bad transom’s. Not all surveyors are competent, I’m sure there are good ones out there but not all of them know enough about boats. If they run and drive...
