Can anyone confirm the 1990 era overnighter fuel tank anti siphon valve. I'm only finding straight ones on the internet, not the 90 deg one that appears to be on there. See red arrow in diagram attached from manual.

The sending unit is one place...

I have the mini. I use it for backpacking as well. The texting is easy using a smart phone and it is tiny. The GPS does work well. I think the SE+ could be useful for overland GPS purposes w/o needing a phone. Guessing you have a chartplotter already though. IMHO if you mostly just want the...

The last guy I spoke to said it would be in the neighborhood of $7500. He explained his process as using "full glass" in areas where there are through bolts like for the engine and kicker bracket and then plywood elsewhere. He went on to explain that he is not a great "finish guy" but that he...

So I'm in Washington State and looking to have my transom done. I'm getting estimates all over the place. What do you think is a reasonable price? If anyone has any recs for someone that does a good job in the greater Port Townsend-Seattle area that would be great as well.

I had the same issue. I replaced all fuel lines and sending unit gasket this year on my 204c. PITA but it solved the problem. If you rub your fingers on the outside of a hose and they smell like gas it's a good indicator I think.

Thank you Trapper, appreciate the info. I'll report back...

I have a 1990 Overnighter and need to add a kicker for trolling. I have the opportunity to buy a 8 hp Yamaha XL (25 in shaft). Can anyone tell me if this is too long? It also has a remote throttle. Any mounting suggestions for that while we're at it? Thanks, Eric

Did you ever get this done? Considering it myself and would love to know what worked...

OK so my setup seems to work great. I did add the wedge, did not cut wires. No interference as far as I can tell. I guess I'm at the "if it ain't broke" moment of the project and will leave it as it is...

This one... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Seaview-Rw4-2-4-Degree-Wedge-Raymarine-Garmin-3G-Domes/282295227533?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

I've installed mine (with a wedge) but don't have the boat in the water yet. I kept the power cord intact for now in case I determine I'd like to go back to the battery. I'll report back when I've had a chance to play with it on the water...

My understanding after looking into the same thing is that yes, you are looking for trouble unless you add an offshore bracket with flotation...

journeyman, thanks for the reply. Are you referring to the power or data cable? My question was about the power cable. I haven't done the install yet and welcome all feedback.

Thank you Mike...
