Try this, it worked for me. You can start with an empty tank (try Dennis' advice of draining it completely), then if you can't tell or if the water just won't leave, put 5 bottles of food colouring (you choose the colour) and then fill it half full. Turn your water system off, you are testing...

I'll see his offer and raise 500.

You are correct....the thing you need is the thing you don't have! I have a decent combo set in the plastic injected-molded cases that seemed to be the ticket, until I used it one day. It has all the sockets and do-dads that you don't need, and there are common ones missing, like a shallow...

Congrats! We picked one up 3 years ago to upsize from our 25'DA, and have been very happy with her ever since. Tons of elbow room, and headroom (I'm 6'3"), oodles of storage (still can't find enough stuff to fill it all up), a big wide beam, the list goes on! True, there is always something...

Glad to be of service! Happy boating....Grant

Ya, and nothing but sunshine forecast for the next 7 days! Gotta take the rain to fill up the lakes and rivers.

Tough call, I suppose. I boat in the 1000 Islands and you share the water with canoes right up to Great Lakes freighters, and also offshore boats blasting through at more than 170mph. Anybody on the water knows this fact, and they also know that the GBL and Rockport tour boats throw a hefty bow...

And not to discount gofirstclass' earlier comment, there could well be inline filters upstream of the carb.

Let's check the least $/effort things first before swapping out parts like pumps and such. Could be a few filters involved.....i don't have the same boat/motors, but you may want to replace filter (plural if two tanks) right at the tank. Might look like a steel 'sediment bowl' type where the...

I've found that a network toner/tracer is a pretty handy rig for chasing down end-to-end wiring of any kind....boat, home, etc. You see them on ebay for 20-30 bones (and way up!), and I'm fairly sure I've seen them in the elecrical aisle of the home improvement stores.

Just guessing, but you've never needed to use them? I enjoy fair weather boating, but have been stuck in situations where the wipers were required. Last season when Hurricane Irene was breathing her last breaths, we had to get back to port that day. It certainly was not dangerous conditions, but...

Classic Spiccoli....love that movie!

Ditto for me! His (I think it's Don?) communication with the customer is fantastic. I wish there were more vendors on Ebay with his style. Grant

As a rule, if any of the three engines are running, then so are the blowers. I just cannot think up a good reason to not have them running. Providing fresh ar for combustion, compartment cooling and evacuation of fuel vapour is far more important to me than worrying about accumulating hours on...

What kind of foul odor? On my boat, the rear A/C unit is under the dinette seat and shares space with the vacuflush unit and associated plumbing. Time to time I will get a blast of foul 'waste' type odor when the A/C starts up, and need to spray Febreeze on the intake grille to mask it. I...
