I haven't been on here for a while. Maybe I could find this answer in a prior post, so my apologies if this is repetitive. I have an '89 Overnighter. I'm looking for to replace the light pole and a hinge on the lid to the live well. Any tips for where I might be able to find these? Thanks...

All great tips/suggestions. Much appreciated. May not be related to the re-power. Exploring all possibilities. Going to do some more investigating myself but may end up taking it in to be looked at. Would like to have resolved going into September - some of the best boating weather...

Thanks for these responses. Some really good suggestions. Going to keep at it to see what's going on.

Thanks for those suggestions. The auto-bilge is working - that's one piece of good news. But after that runs there is always some remaining water that I clear out by running bilge "manually". I will look at some of the other things you mentioned. Thanks very much.

I also posted this to update a thread I started in June. My apologies for the repetition. I just wanted to try to get as much of a response as possible Quick background- I have 1989 Overnighter 20. Repowered with a new 200 hp Suzuki for this season. (Replacing 1989 Yamaha 175)...

I may be better off posting this as a brand new thread but I figured I’d start here. Quick recap- I have 1989 Overnighter 20. Repowered with a new 200 hp Suzuki for this season. (Replacing 1989 Yamaha 175). Thought I had been pretty thorough in my research. Talked to a few people and...

Thanks for that information. Thought I had been pretty thorough with my research before re-powering, but now I feel like I could have covered more bases. I've seen my same motor (Suzuki 200) on same or similar boat and it didn't seem to be a problem. The new 4 strokes all seem pretty...

My apologies for delayed response...... I really appreciate all the suggestions and experience shared here. Very helpful. Removing the extra weight up front as suggested. Honestly - I've tried to put some of these concerns out of my mind with the hope that all goes well. All was going...

Hoping to get some input from the group on something that has me a bit worried. I have a 1989 Overnighter 20. I just re-powered with a 200 hp Suzuki. Upgraded from a 2 stroke Yamaha 175 hp. I did some thorough research before going ahead with the purchase including talking to someone with...

Not sure if this thread is right place for me to post this but let me give it a try. I have an '89 Overnighter. I've posted in the past about an issue I've had for a while where the bilge pump kicks in when I have a heavier load on the boat. We'll be at anchor and it will periodically kick...

Thanks very much for the reply. I will check that out.

Last year I posted a question about how when I'm out with a heavy load in the cockpit of my 1989 Overnighter 20 the automatic bilge will kick on periodically and a fair amount of water gets pumped out. It's not constant, but it also doesn't just happen once and stop. It also doesn't...

Thanks for all the suggestions. You've given me some ideas to follow up on. Much appreciated.

I have a 1989 Overnighter 20 that I bought used a couple of years ago. Overall it has performed well - this is my 5th season with it. There's one thing that it does that I want to understand better and need to know if it's something that I need to take care of. If I'm out with a heavy...
