This is how I check and erase codes on a '98 Ficht hope this helps To manually check the codes hold open the throttle position sensor in the WOT position. (I have used a rubber band if a friend isn't available) Turn the key but don't turn over the motor, the warning beep will sound and then...

I replaced both lenses after I cracked one with perko replacements Spare Green Lens #0273DPGLNS Spare Red Lens #0273DPRLNS from West marine. Had to be special ordered. Also replaced the bulbs with festoon leds from Marinebeam.com, popped right in and didn't have to replace the whole fixture...

I agree, it's been a good year for spiders. Hang a Hot Shot No Pest Strip in the enclosed cockpit when you leave the boat, take it down and put it in a ziplock bag and enjoy the boat, rehang it when you leave, should last all season. I use one in the cabin and one in the cockpit. Spraying the...

A surveyor (with a moisture meter) is a good investment, even on a proect. Will probably save you some time discovering all kinds of stuff. Mine went on the sea trial with me, drove the boat and was very helpful.

Excellent investment and a must for any boater

I've always been satisfied with Collonite products. Collonite Cleaner followed by 925 liquid or Fleetwax Paste.

are these led attwoods the one that match the original festoon footprint? http://www.attwoodmarine.com/store/product/3530 Thanks gt

Grady sent me a replacement clip for the anchor locker and they have modified it with a metal outer clip, and the plastic seems to be heavier duty too. It looks like it will survive much longer than the older style but only time will tell. I don't have a part number as it showed up in just a...

The way I understand it, E-15 has been approved (I think nationally), but there are lawsuits pending, putting the fuel on hold, and not many stations have the infrastucture to support an additional blend. I have not seen E-15 "labelled" at Michigan pumps . . . yet BTW - I buy marina gas to avoid...

I have a 98 Islander. The forward anchor locker has a small plastic friction clip that holds the lid closed when a pin from the lid slides into it. I am replacing my 3rd clip in 6 years. We try not to let the lid slam down but they break anyway. Anybody have any suggestions for a different type...

Range is kinda guesswork until you figure it out with your own setup because there are so many factors involved. Assuming your boat, motor and prop are all tuned, begin with . . . hp/10 = gallons burned/hour at cruise (3500rpm). That aside, you are probably looking at a range around 150-160...

I have a factory hardtop by WMW marine that has 4 launchers attached to a u shaped support on top of the fiberglass, bolted thru to the supports.

I contacted ledlight.com via email and asked them if their super white led festoons would comply with USCG 2nm requirement if used behind a colored lens. http://www.ledlight.com/festoon-smt-3-led-light.aspx They quickly responded back with . . . "That part is a very bright light, i would...

I'm still wondering if these are a legal replacement for traditional festoons behind colored lenses for nav/anchor usage. The website says for "marine applications" but nothing about legal navigation. When I get some time I'm going to research the comparative lumens, unless someone else already...
