A minor two cents from a limited knowledge guy. After reading the entire thread, I cant help to think its two fold, injector related and electrical. Independent of each other maybe. THe electrical - The failure to run above 2000 RPM-feels like a sensor kicking in because its not rough...

Yea, I never would have thought about a shoe company but they did use water repellants in the footwear. PFAS is ubiquitous. The scary one is non-stick pans. Thanks for the Dupont. I was unaware of that.

No That has already been revised to an order of magnitude less Its not my limit, its EPA's Limit as to acceptable cancer risk and what drives their Cleanup goals. This is likely not actual but rather proposed. Not aware there have been actual settlements at this point within the US. If you...

As one who defends the DoD through environmental cleanup, I can tell you its not cheap. Just with one set of emerging compounds (PFAS; major component in AFFF-Think fire fighting foam) the cleanup estimate for DoD alone is estimated $10B. Fuels and USTs? Ha, those were all the rage 25 years...

Ha, funny! Depending on your age, that is exactly the response the owners are looking for. Sure enough as those have noted, there are two kinds, those that appreciate hot rods and gear headery and those that are young and simply want the shock and awe (Think JDM with cheap cat-delete exhaust)...

Now thats a lot of room. Wish I had that with the twin 6.2's on the Rinker. Would have supported al Everyone should demand that kind of room on any boat. Why manufactures Squeeze them in to unmanageable areas for work is beyond me. I had that same dual set up on my Rinker but the bulk head...

That would be me of course. Nice job on the outdrives. I know, its a arduous tasking. its worth in the End! Been gone for a while and just reading some threads catching back up. Nice to see Nater, your carrying us along the journey.

Ok, so few Notes, yes I get land wobbly after three days or more on the boat. I did many jobs for my company offshore running bathymetry systems, side scan, etc. It seems like the more you come and go land to water, the more you get accustomed to the "dock rock" but never seemed to go away for...

Yea, snatch that up ASAP. You'll be so far ahead. What happened to me let be a lesson to others. There is the small chain that connects the cap to the inside of the filler tube. Well, you get so accustomed to just unscrewing and letting her go that its second nature. Problem is that little...

I am pretty sure series 1 pachanga's were never jet drive powered. What is the year of it?

By the way, when you take the old hatch out, take your time. There will be significant old caulk around it that even though old, will be attached well and if you arent careful, you'll crack the fiberglass surround. Go slow using plastic putty knife and wood wedges to slowly lift off...

I searched and searched for mid-Hatch replacement on the 89 Pachanga with wore out hinge. Was Brutal and ended in no joy finding any parts. I thought about taking to AL welder but figured it would have been a crap shoot for long haul reliability. Taylor made, who was manufacture of original...

My two cents. I replaced two Mag 350s (with Mercruiser 354 4v's) and two new Gen II ALphas in 2012ish by the dealer with complete custom SS exhaust AND thru-hull cooling (while also keeping the alpha cooing) and total was $35K US AT THE DEALER. Adjusting for 2012 to 2022 and a single BB and...

My guess on those codes are they are associated with functions your boat is not optioned with. My former Rinker threw 4 codes that were associated with sensors the boat didnt have. I think that Pitot was one of them.

Yes, the beam is noticeably narrower than the 290. However, for two (with rare 4), I think its fine. The twin 4.3 is the best set up and likely can handle the added generator weight with ease. I have the 7.4L and its got good performance sans the generator. I like the ability to trailer so...

Google Revenue Cutter servce. Thats what they were called before 1790.

There are numerous Prop options for your boat. Some things to consider - Manufactures may or may not exchange new props if you purchase one and dont like the performance. In this case, best to get information on forums with others having your same boat and different props. Others, like hill...

Double negative..........But I agree too. Keep us updated. I can provide a plethora of data on my thru-hull improvements to the cooling on this 6.2L MX set up if you need. Its expensive but worth it for piece of mind. Another consideration if you haul out - Bravo III's run hot to start, I...

I would be very careful about this on that 350. I assume its moored year round. You can disconnect that raw water pump yes, but only an experienced mechanic should do this on a boat afloat. If its hauled out, yes, no problem. Again, I believe, there are/is a sensor that also monitors water...

I had twin 6.2's with Bravo IIIs on my Rinker. You are correct in that is guardian mode which limits RPM if a sensor goes off like oil pressure, temp, etc. Those water temperatures noted (170 and 175) would not set off the sensor and cause guardian mode. Not sure what the trigger temp is but...
