    Does anyone know if our hull material below the water line is solid or cored? TIA

    I’ve ordered two new vacuum pumps and a new discharge pump. Call it a pre-emptive strike but all these stories are enough to make me have nightmares. The one thing I don’t want to do when out on the water is to spend my time up to my armpits it you know what … It’s a 16 years old boat now so...

    I’m thinking you’re right on the latter. Would be very helpful if I could get some help on how to replace the starboard side. Thanks.

    My starboard toilet won’t flush and I noticed that the toilet vacuum pump won’t stop.. Any ideas on what the fix is and the difficulties involved. Thanks.

    They screwed and bonded some plywood wedges to the transom.

    I didn’t go out for long so didn’t get a chance to play with them. They were on auto only. I’ll keep you posted when I take her out again for longer sea trials. If I play with them and get another knot that will be a 2 knot gain and a she’ll be a 30 knot boat.. So I’m guessing one or two...

    Took her for a run today - Achieved 29 knots WOT (2650 rpm) but left the Zipwakes on auto with no input or adjustments from me. Up until now I never achieved more than 28 knots.

    Here’s a better picture. Our tunnels are flat at the top.

    No consultation was made with the manufacturer. Just the Zipwake rep’s. They didn’t see any issues with the location. Edit: They have special tunnel zipwakes but they’re not needed for our boats.

    You may remember that I’ve had a trimming issues since my boat has the hydraulic swim platform which has been made slightly worse after I had the transom module repositioned aft by 2.5 feet. I made the tabs bigger to compensate but the single ram couldn’t overcome the water pressure. I added a...

    Has anyone had low water pressure issues from the anchor well tap? Mine has gone low pressure for some unknown reason. The only thing I have done to the water system of late was replace the fresh water pump. But is was like for like plug and play although for another strange reason I had...

    Your right. I’m assuming it’s a Diamond vs QSC thing. As in life a few extra inches would’ve been nice … ;)
