On our boat, the fuel filler caps are labeled correctly on the Port side but are mislabeled on the Starboard side. The fuel gages correspond to the fuel tank you would expect, Starboard gage for Starboard tank.
From what I understand you should use an anti seize w/Teflon. Not the standard Hi Temp Copper anti seize used on the auto field.
The copper does bad things with electrolysis and your zinc's.
Now that brings back some memories. I've heard that quite a few time from my Grandfather. Most of the time he was talking to me!!
That memory is one reason for more surfing the threads and less posting.
Off hand I don't know what plugs are in the boat's engines, and I don't have the manual in front of me and I'm no plug expert. Now with that said.
One of the numbers represent the heat range on the plug. Not all manufactures are the same, so a Goggle search on the plug of choice is required...
Unrelated to finding or fixing the possible oil infiltration problem and until it becomes a significant enough problem that your going to do something about it. You might consider running a hotter plug by one or two levels. This will not solve your oil leak problem, but it will help that plug...
There was no mistaking our list when we first saw it. We just got back from a week down in Ocean City and the holding tank was full. The boat had a 4" list to port. It was pulled and we put some shrink wrap tape with 1" increments on each side of the transom. After the holding tank was...
At this point the service writer and I have all most exhausted all possible scenarios that would create the list. Right now were waiting for the factory trouble shooter to come out and give it final try to find the possible cause.
We have looked at possible water infiltration, component...
We had a list like that. Overall I think there were 38 items on the punch list ranging from minor problems to major issues. At least you aren't dealing with a 2" list to port with yours.
I agree on the quality control on all the little stuff. So much money and good will could be saved on...
Yea, so far nothing other than lets add some weight to her.
The one good thing is that it's not getting worse, but no better either.
I was just down in the engine bay and was looking around and it looks like the generator could move about three inches to the starboard side. I have no idea...
Unfortunately my finger pier and spring line is on the starboard side and the boat sits fairly loose in the slip.
The dealer has it out on the hard right now. They pulled the trim tabs to check if they were sealed correctly and if any water came out of the hull.
The good news is that...
This is a continuation of sorts to another thread I have going in here (New boat listing problems?)
While you've been working on or poking around in your boat, have you found any extra weight/ballast that has been added to it to make it sit level in the water?
I'm dealing with a brand new...
I can't answer you on losing the historical data when the power is disconnected, but my guess would be that you wont. Around here the local recycling centers will take your old batteries, used motor oil and antifreeze .... and stuff.
The slip were in doesn't have much of a finger pier on one side and nothing on the other.
I just tie the boat up along the walkway to the floating dock and I can adjust my lines to pull the bow in close and let the stern hang out. I just let the boat pivot off the fenders while I scrub and rinse.
