Thanks for the response. I don't think this is the issue for in my case. I don't have any fresh water supply to the windshield wipers. I really appreciate the input

Thanks very much for the response. I will double check but as I inspected it yesterday I saw no evidence of water dripping from above. Definitely plan on double checking that. I appreciate the input.

I have a 1989 Overnighter 20. Yesterday I had this issue crop up. Happened once earlier in the season, but I've gone out several times when it hasn't happened. I haven't had a chance to really investigate on my own in depth yet, but I thought I'd describe it here to see if I can get any...

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 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...
