Hey folks, Ok so I have twin 350’s in my Amberjack. I have had to replace my seawater pump assemblies roughly every say 300hrs or so. The bearing starts to leak and then we replace the front end. The mechanic that I have been working with is a straight shooter kind of guy. Always gives me...

Hey guys, Thanks for the posts. Good to hear the positive or at least not negative response to the use of Startron. I will keep that on the go for sure based on what I have been reading it could be one of the most inexpensive long term preventative maintenance applications that I have seen in...

Hey Folks.... I live on the West Coast of Canada and was doing some usual pre season work. About 3 years ago when I got my boat I ran into an issue with the IAC's and changed them out. The history is not necessarily important but then it might be.... so: The Starboard engine would cut out at...

Hey folks, Thanks for the posts. I got in there as best as I could today to get at it. I think I have a good start to it.... I have more to do tomorrow. Nehalennia... seriously nice and clean bilge. If you saw mine you would likely puke. I have issues as my twin inboards with water...

Hey Everyone, Thanks for the posts I was down at the boat today for the whole day working on engine stuff and decided to test my theory. I used only the Starboard battery (FWD switch) and as the Grandmaster indicated this was able to power all of my DC house items, radio, head, water pump...

Hey, Thanks for the posts and the good info about sourcing the cause of the belt dust. I should of mentioned that I have had the boat now for about 4 years and in the first three I went through about two belts on the starboard engine. I had checked all the pulleys and stuff and changed out...

Hey Guys Thanks for the posts. I was curious so also phoned a dealership service department and picked his ear a bit. Apparently: (I still need to dig into the manuals to see the wiring as I still think something is not quite right but...) With the AJ's or SeaRays (assuming twin engine...

Hello Guru's Just a quick one. I had a thought the other day when washing my truck and doing the tires. I was using a spray and leave cleaner. (No Touch) I am sure many of you are familiar with it. Anyway this led me to google as I was thinking about all of the belt residue that I have all...

I know it's late but thanks for all the posts.

Hey, Thanks for the info. I have ended up putting in two AGM's for the house batteries and one 'No Maintenance' Start battery. All up from the 27 to 31's. The charger I have (good point by the way) has a switch on it for AGM or Standard. I was concerned about mixing the batteries and the...

Hey Guys, Thanks for the posts. All excellent information. I had done a quick search in the posts on batteries but in my quick peruse did not see stuff directly associated with my specific question but none the less I will make sure to look deeper into the current posts before asking. Thanks...

Hey folks... I have had my boat (bought second hand) for about 3 years now and I have decided that this season start will be done with new batteries and likely new cables. I would like to change the batteries to AGM's so that they are Maint free and all of that. I have an Optima Yellow Top in...
