I have a '98 with 8.2's with four blade 17/22. Cruise at 3200 rpms at 25 mph about 30gph

All indications point to the injectors as everything else ruled out. thanks all.

thanks to all that responded. The boat was just placed back in the water. I experienced this problem last season, and thought some of the replies were causing the issue[ scum on bottom, prop, plugs wires etc.] same this year as last, so eliminated them. Never thought about fuel injectors, but...

I think you guys are on the right page but different thought. The batteries were low on water, causing the batteries to build up excess hydrogen above the platesduring charging. When this happens, and there is an arc, weather by charger or attempt to start device, an explosion can occur...

An easy way to re-use current filter is to purchase activated charcoal used in aquariam filters, proper size Furnco coupling, and Scott-brite pad. Cut flter in half, place Scott-brite pads in ends[cut to correct size], fill tube with charcoal, and re-connect with the coupling. Cost is $10-15...

Me I prefer keeping a boat in the water-get to meet some great fellow boaters. Customer service should be high on list. short distance to open water [ 6mph zone burns fuel]. Pool, clean showers, parking area paved, play area for kids, dog area, place to store dinghy on land. Fuel/pump-out...

As you are my 'conscience' I ordered the switches. They were on sale, so they only cost me $20 more. thanks

Yup, ordered them today. Thanks

thanks. ordered today

A while back there was a link/info about replacement foot switch covers for the windlass. Does anyone have any information regarding? I can find info for replacement switches, however I don't need them or the added expense.

Glad to hear that you enjoy your dogs and your boat. We have two Labs, father and daughter, and they are fantastic companions. Like your dog, Candi[the daughter], is a nervous wreck the minute we start the engines. We were considering a Thunder Coat for her, but it just seemed too weird that...

Congrats. You will love those deisels. i have a '96 37 sedan bridge w/3116 Cats. Change the racors as necessary, engine zincs [think there are 6 per engine] once per year or as needed. keep an eye on the engine temps, as it is quite expensive to replace an engine. with 3/4 fuel, 1/2 tank of...

I have a 37'DA w/3116 Cats and my friend has the exact same boat w/gas engines. Mine sits a good 3-31/2 inches lower in the stern than his does. Half tank of fuel, full fresh water tank, early season crusing speed is 22-23 kts at 2450 rpms. Lots of tabs to keep the bow down, no chain on the...

For variety, you might want to try kayaking. Peaceful, plus good exercise for the upper body. I recently bought one for $300 w/paddle and love going to places in shallow creeks that you normally can't get to. Fun fishing too.

I have a 37' sedan bridge and i stay in at least 5'. It says i draw about 3' but with fuel water and equiptment/provisions it has to be a bit more. Yes, you can run the genny during cruise. As for the different hours, unless you know the owner it would seem a bit odd. Maybe they fish and...

Was down your way this past July. Beautiful area for sure. Make sure you visit Vera's for some weekend fun. If you don't know where it is ask one of the locals.

thanks to all. Tolchester is directly across the bay from me, maybe i'll have lunch while my boat is repaired.

Thanks for the advice. I used Ransome's in NJ where i purchased it. Albin is close to me too. Just wanted check with fellow boaters on who we can trust.

Thanks, i've delt with Ransome in NJ where i purchased the boat. See my other reply.

I need the name of a good diesel machanic or service for my 3116's. i'm located in the upper Cesapeake bay area. I have hot start issues, low idle issues on starboard engine. also, I cant tell if both engines run in sync as gages are inaccurate. I have some experience, just want someone to...
