    Where Do I Get Marine Quality Non-Slip Strips?

    Laid them out where they were going to be, taped around them and lightly scuffed the area with 220 sandpaper, not to much just a touch. Wipe down with acetone and apply.

    Can the base of engine work? Two to bolts under engine are rusted and can

    Yes you can fix it while in the boat. Pull the dizzy and replace the gasket. You should not have to add oil at every outing. Mines a 1985, 3.0. I go all summer without adding a drop. I'm not nice to it either, she's run hard and put away wet. It is maintained every fall and spring but still......

    Waste water level indicator panel

    You will have the follow the fuel, lines and figure it out. Some have no access to the sender or hookups. You have to carefully create them.

    Unknown knob please help

    That would be the valve for filling the livewell. One way fills it. The other may drain it, or something like. that. I never used one myself but that’s what they do. I suppose you can look up on how they work exactly.

    MCM 3.7 190 cap and rotor question

    Well, something isn’t right. The rotor shouldn’t be that high to rub there. Look inside the old rotor, is there a chunk of plastic stuck up the there? Looks like it wasn’t seated all the way. Some go on rather tight.

    Stingray 208 water in the engine room

    All boat builders install components where they are needed. Don’t mean they are installed correctly.

    Where Do I Get Marine Quality Non-Slip Strips?

    Yup, what they said^^ . You could look in a marine website and get it for three times the money as the hardware store. It’s just the same thing. Prepping the surface first goes a long way to keep them in place.

    New fuel lines on inboard tank cannot prime!

    I found on mine that the primer bulb had to be held with the arrow pointed up to work. I replaced it with a more expensive setup and now no issues.

    Humility

    Dang. I was watching but didn't see that. To many distractions at the cabin.

    Part Identification

    For a seven-year-old boat, that looks horrible. Time to clean it up, check it completely and service whatever needs replacement. That much fuel leaking is a timebomb waiting to go. Do not use it till it's fixed.

    2021 Tahoe T18 floor storage won’t drain

    Yeah, even in a new boat there is lots of debris left over from manufacturing. I've had to take apart one sailboat that had a leaky diesel tank, located under the floor. The sawdust, cut off wire ends, small pcs of wood and other junk was what caused a spot to corrode trough. Others when...

    Laceyville on a fishfinder?

    I'd imagine they would have taken the buildings down so debris wont float away causing damage to boaters or plugging up the dam.

    Anti-Rattle solutions

    I'm thinking of drilling a hole in the bottom of the hitch receiver, weld a nut to it put in a bolt and snugging it up to take up slack. It may work or not. Nothing lost nothing gained.

    Are wheel locks the way to go?

    had one in town years ago that had the electric winch stolen in the middle of the day. The owners came back and wanted to load the boat, no winch. Others were there that said it was a red truck, two guys got out and unbolted it, the others that were there just thought it was being taken off for...

    2021 Tahoe T18 floor storage won’t drain

    Not the same boat, but mine wouldn’t drain, I could poke the hole, nothing worked. I ended up poking from the engine room up fwd, then the debris came out and drained.

    Inspecting fuel lines before you become one

    Whats left of a local boat when it fueled up. Don't exactly know what caused it but it was fuel related. Stb motor wouldn't start. So he tried the port motor. Boom. Nobody hurt luckily.

    Engine Fire

    Wow, glad you got the fire out. Most cases you end up bailing out of the boat and watch it burn while you swim for help. Yet another reason to carry an extinguisher.

    Water in my bilge

    Several ideas here are good. Transom bolts, drain plug, ect. Another thing could be the steering pin. At rest some are under water and will leak.
