Short version: After taking the carb apart to dump out bad fuel and re-installing, the lift pump wouldn't deliver fuel to the carb (was working before, it delivered fuel when pressing the "on" button on the panel). What should I check? Long version: I had all 6 of my thru hull fittings...

My boatyard is doing this project for me while the boat was hauled out for bottom painting. I ordered the panels and actuators from FP Marine, and also bought a new VHF and Simrad Cruise 9 (new entry level model) chartplotter. Sticking with the old radar for now. This is taking WAY LONGER...

I'm not even sure how to describe this, but it would be similar to grout between tiles. I have these various spaces on the exterior of my 1997 330EC that have cracked and missing filler/caulking. What is the best way to pretty this up? I'm assuming you'd want to remove what's currently in...

I'm getting an excessive amount of exhaust smell while underway. Seems like it's always been this way but wife seems to think it's getting worse. We did a 50 mile run yesterday from California Delta to SF Bay. While at cruising speed (with windshield vent and center Eisenglass piece open)...

Last couple of times out my throttles have not delivered equal RPM's, need to give port more throttle. In the past I've always been able to get both engines in sync with one hand on the throttles and moving them evenly. Note: I do have Engine Sync gauge but not the capability to operate both...

I had a mechanic come to the boat to investigate stbd engine not pumping water about 2 months ago, turned out impeller was fine but small piece of cork gasket on strainer was missing causing it to suck air. Easy fix, will always check that first before taking apart water pump! During course of...

I had a stretch in late spring where I hadn't taken the boat out but still fired up the engines every couple of weeks. On one of those occasions the stbd engine wouldn't pump water, zero water out of the exhaust. Impellers are 2 years old so I didn't think that was it, but that is the first...

What's the secret to changing out the bulbs? There does not seem to be an easy way to remove the old bulb as there is a recessed mounting on the bottom and a very rigid contact plate at the top. Also, I'm a rookie when it comes to anything electrical. How would I test that 12v are getting to...

I have 8.1's in a 1997 330 EC. Engines were installed in 2014 and have about 200 hrs on them. Took her out yesterday and it ran rough when attempting to get up to cruising speed and wouldn't get close to expected MPH at cruising speed of 3400 - 3600 RPM. Usually can run at 25 - 30 MPH in...

Short question is, does anyone know how to access the motor unit? Can't seem to find it, although I think it may be under the stairs that lead into the cabin but have not been able to get them off. Backgound - I bought the boat last summer and one of the items that was supposed to be fixed was...
