    Yes - when I replaced the whole tank - but easily done (be careful - the floats can get a bit brittle). I used a flathead screwdriver to scrape the scale off.

    Best Davit System for 420 Sundancer

    The reason that the H30 won't work for me is because of the launch / retrieve. MY boat is backed into the slip with no room behind me. I'd have to move the boat forward every time I wanted to use the dink.... which we do (sometimes more often than the actual boat). With a davit (crane) type...

    2006 Sedan Bridge 44 vacu flush problem !

    Check the connection at the pump as well. If there is a crack in the hose or if it loosened up where it connects to the vacuum pump - that's your issue. I would take a spray bottle with soapy water and spray anywhere and everywhere you can. Of course, if you fill the bowl with water and come...

    Help - lost forward gear.

    Is that on the motor / trans or under the binacle?

    Help - lost forward gear.

    Lost forward gear on my way out of the dock. Pulled forward, put in neutral.... wouldn't go back in gear. Goes into reverse fine.... looks to be hydraulic controls... Cummins diesels - 8.3 CTA's... mechanicals. I would guess maybe a micro switch... literally no idea... Anyone?

    Mercury 15hp vrs 20hp outboard

    I moved to a 15hp from my 6. With the 6 I was able to simply lift it off the transom of the dink, lay on the swim platform and store in the cockpit when not in use.... now, with the 15, I think the additional 40 or so pounds may prevent that from happening. I find getting the dink onto the...
