    Gas in 2003 18’CC bilge

    Can't tell ya the type of tank, but DO NOT even attempt to run it or any battery connections till you find the issue, get it cleaned up and odor free. That is a bomb ready to blow up. I can find a pic of one at our marina that blew up a couple weeks ago when I get to my computer.

    Does ACR exist to charge start battery bank only if the volts drop below 12.45?

    If it's wired correctly. turning off the battery switch will not prevent the charger from charging the batteries. Not supposed to be set up that way. And the bilge pump should go directly to the batteries also.

    Starting mercruiser 350 after boat almost sinks

    I'll put some seafoam in the oil and run it for a bit. Change it out and it help alot. I'll use cheap oil for the initial changes and then the correct oil for the last one.

    Does ACR exist to charge start battery bank only if the volts drop below 12.45?

    Sounds like you need a smart charger. They moniter each battery sepratley, and only charge/maintain each battery. Them old school chargers don't care what they do to a battery. They will pound out amps and burn up the good battery if the other one is weaker. It is recommended to replace both...

    Loose wire identification and nav light help

    You put a piece of tape on that open wire to keep it from shorting while you are working on it. open up the dash panel and carefully pull it out and look very hard at all the wiring under there.. I've had success with a selfie stick under there and getting some pics with my phone to see what's...

    Water in oil pan!!

    Good Marine mechanics are getting harder to find. Sound's like your mechanic needs some schooling. Spark, compression, fuel. Just have to know when it's all supposed to happen in the right order.

    If the oil was milky, you need a re-seal.

    Bayliner toilet 2651

    No macerator pumps on boats that are on fresh / inland waters. There are plenty boats in fresh water that have the macerator . They have a "y" valve inline, wich if in fresh water must be locked in position to not allow waste to pump overboard.

    Bayliner toilet 2651

    Not all have them, if you do there should be a switch to activate it either in the head or the electrical panel. You will hear it.

    What size drag link socket

    What alldodge said, I usually take a good flat screwdriver and give it a rap with the hammer, Works most of the time. replace the screw with one that has a better groove, and the gaskets at every change. Some of them are stubborn.

    Disconnecting Fuel line from the outboard

    Are you sure there is no primer? Had a similar situation with a customer. Their motor quit just outside the marina, they were pinned against the breakwall in some rough seas. I dashed out there and their fuel pump had gone south, I dug around and found the primer bulb way down in the bilge...

    Should I get this FREE project boat?

    If you have a big plot of land, and young children, you could strip it down to the basics, bury it to the waterline, put a sump pump in it, and a pole building cover of some sort. It would make a great playhouse for the children. Nothing more.

    Crack in Hull

    That is a loaded question. It could be fine, it could fail tomorrow , or 6 month's from now.

    Crack in Hull

    Of course they will fix it. They just want your money. You really need to check further for any damage inside, it looks like it's been that way for awhile. Any flotation foam is saturated. You won't see water in the bilge till it gets through the foam.
