Same batts start the port engine but not the starboard.
You hear clicking and the voltage goes down to 10.5 while pressing the start button.
Sorry but I'm going to buck the trend and say that it's from the solenoid to the motor. Maybe a loose cable from the solenoid to the motor, or a bad...
Too funny! Why would you guys focus on the bathroom?
For us smaller boat guys, just use the swim step.
And I guess I missed the location of the bait tank...

Great point! Did they address that in their description on their pages? What nobody seems to mention is that you can get it anodized and eliminate any corrosion.

That's right but it's called "Polar Moment." You would want the benefits of either at different times. But the largest polar moment would be best for stability. It takes more upsetting input to rock the boat if they're further apart.
Hence the upscale Cats becoming more popular for fast big...
I added FWC to my BBc when installing a new engine. To do it right takes dedication. I found original Merc parts everywhere. Ebay, Craigslist, local word of mouth, everywhere.
I assembled the right components and made the rest myself out of stainless for a fraction of what either a kit or...
You guys are omitting an important part of this Hybrid.
Zero emissions.
Nothing mentioned in the subsequent replies had the mention of an equivalent in any form. Zero emissions.
The rail locomotives are diesel electric. The diesels operate at peak efficiency to power generators. Not really...
I own a Sea Ray and believe that it's a fine product. However, I do believe that it's true that nobody here will knock a Sea-Ray even if their own experiences aren't good.
I have NOT read any stories here about "The Dark Years," when Brunswick first took over Sea Ray. It seems that people...
The crank pulley/damper would be the most accessible. Clear markings on it will make it very clear and easy to identify the rpm.
For an oscilloscope, you can attach to a coil (-) terminal, (4 pulses per rev) or an inductive pickup on a plug wire itself, (1/2 pulse per rev).

I have dealt in instrumentation and have the ability to compare against a "lab standard.' So with that info, and a huge inventory of instruments to choose from, I have seen
many tachs and their inaccuracies.
Any tach can be fixed to be accurate. It's just that some have trim pots and can be...
Shop tachs are liable to be just as far off as the vehicle tach. Also, digital tachs are not always the best bet. Invest in a small oscilloscope and you can get the actual real rpm. Or an optical strobe. Fluke has a real good Multimeter scope for cheap. Ebay to see the range.
And if it's off at...
It might be rated for 10 people but I would think that means static for flotation, not on plane. I have an 82 SXL 260 and it's a heavy boat. I've got a BBC, and it feels about right. Not rocket but does do well. The 5.7L 260 is not enough.

Try to troubleshoot your's first. It might be a problem that would cause a problem with the next one. I was researching these and air temp is a stretch but water temp was a common feature.
Check on the Humminbird site for more info or just google it.

Can't have any air between the hull and transducer. Bag would have air between the bag and the hull. No?
According to Garmin and Humminbird technical resources.

I recently got a Humminbird Matrix 47 3D sonar. The instructions were quite clear and easy to understand about mounting it as a "shoot through' transducer. Pretty easy but you do need to have it on the water. They stated that you have to use a coffee can, or similar device to purge all air...
If you keep up on your zincs and flush you can save some money now, but you'll re-invest it later. Does the Mercathode system come into play here with the engine corrosion too?
As far as referring to the actual product sites for a opinion. I think that giving you a differing opinion, other than...
It IS worth the investment. That's why it's an option for upgrade. It does require more parts and slightly more attention, but the rewards are many. Better heat control, possibly better mileage, NO corrosion again, and peace of mind. Many kits available for a reasonable price. Save your...
