That's how I initially had my schematic drawn up, unfortunately I read that you shouldn't pull power directly from the low oil pressure switch. I don't know if there would be an actual potential issue or not, just what I had read, This is my least favorite part about engines and their...
Hey guys, unfortunately had an engine go on me at the end of the season last year, I purchased a reman and started switching all the peripherals over. When I got to the fuel pump I noticed the block had no provision for a mechanical pump. I ordered the Carter Marine Universal pump. Comes with...
Later on down the road I had goals of a 380, or 370 express with diesels, just dont know if id want to lose the aft cabin. Those 380s sure are rare with diesels. 410 and the 450 sure look nice too
No family no admiral yet. For now the 270 fits the bill. Obviously wouldn't mind going bigger. It's a little older but with that comes the wider beam and twins oppos to the newer 270's. First boat, wanted to get an idea of annual run costs, maintenance costs etc. I'll tell.you I cannot wait to...
You know, I guess the major remorse would come in if you went from a relatively seemingly issue free boat and ended up with a nightmare. I like your story, and I'm happy its all working out for you.
Tempus Fugit
Assuming most of you started off smaller, what was the determining factor on going bigger, kids, more ammentities, wanting twins, ego boost, and did you do it when a repower was necessary on your previous vessel? Did you go up 3 to 5 feet, did you go up 10 to 15 ft and opt for diesels etc. Did...
Not sure if it's the same, but my '88 270 lists to starboard until I fill my freshwater tank. Head and galley are both on starboard side on mine. Water tank is on port. As far as engines are concerned. I believe my boat was fresh water for a chunk of it's life, I know the last owner had it in...
A Vette purist would know that the 1983 while not in production was a c4 . Great looking car buddy! Congratulations! Even rolling up to the boat in style is fun . Ps. Just poking fun about the 83 comment btw. I'm no Vette purist.
Good to know! Seems like most people that have owned a similar year version have all all enjoyed it. Hopefully I end up being one of those people too! heh
Thank you! Got it splashed on Thursday, let me tell you it's a learning curve growing up with transmissions then buying sterndrives. So far cruising around 3000 to 3200 gets me between 23 and 25 knots depends on conditions and 4000 got me about 35 knots. Only complaint is either the tachs are...
