I had some time today to mess with the boat. Found the timing is all over the place. Boat was hard starting today. Once i got it started and warmed up i checked timing at an idle. It was at 8 deg then 32 deg. It will not stay at one spot. Plus the tach was bouncing around between 500 rpm's and...

Just got back from the cheasepeake bay area. My boat survived what felt like a tornado the first day...

The only thing that sucks about our weekender is I can't operate the boat during storms or heavy rain do to the open cockpit. We really like the boat and I have way too much in it to sell it. I'm seriously looking into making a light weight hardtop for it Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

I don't have a helm switch either. My fridge is feed off a fused wire off the battery switch located in the engine bay.

At my shore power control panel. I have 1 main breaker then 3 other breakers. 1 for the outlets, 1 for the fridge and 1 for the hot water heater. I also have an electric stove but that has no breaker for some reason
