Hi - wondering if anyone has mounted a SOLAS A or B canister life raft on their Aluminum Tube - T Top. My dealer recommends not doing it, but wonder if anyone has. Perhaps with building more support. Weight of these is between 130 & 160 lbs. If yes, any pictures, or any problems with use...

Travelers up 10% per year or more for the last 5 years. This year's bill $1123 on a1999 30' GW w original engines. coverage Prior to 5 years ago it was constant at around 700 per year. Something triggered the routine 10% increase. Maybe they just do it, and if you drop oh well, and if you...

Good tips here. I use Ace siding cleaner. Get at my Ace hardware store in paint department. Use on gelcoat & vinyl. Mix w water and i apply with a car wash mitt i will try the starbrite to compare

Problems solved. Thanks for the tips & recommendations. Much appreciated. 1. Idle speed. I made a minor adjustment to the remote control cables at the engine end for both gear shift and idle. That seem to have remedied the problem. Ran it for an hour or so in and out of gear as well as WOT...

Well here's the day's report.... Thought I was on to something early on... As noted above I intended to check the TPS again because I did not test it properly earlier. What I discovered is the engine w the trouble had a bad TPS reading. It was reading .21 vs .50 +/- .02 But no matter how I...

Yes on cold start idles high and comes down to 700 other times it says high Also throttle acrew is touching plate at cold. Oil lonkage looks good. going to run a decarb today and seen that has any effect. I’d be surprised but cant hurt. The sun is out so easy work conditions today

Thanks Glacierbaze - also - I realized I did not do the TPS test properly. So I will do that again tomorrow w/ linkage disconnected and throttle body closed.

I've been told/read that can't use carb cleaner on 02 sensor. So I used the seafoam spray on the original. Then, w/ no results, I swapped them from engine to engine and problem persists, and the engine w/ all the parts from the starbaord runs just fine. The throttle screw is seated when I press...

Pump is shutting off now (today so far) and have not had problem turning it over so focussing on high idle. Linkage looks ok. Pulled o2 and clewned w seafoam spray. Tube had some build up but not bad. Fired it up warmed up came down to 700 then up to 1100. Going to swap 02s instead of bringing...

Thanks. Off to look at linkage. I do not think I had done anything that would have caused the starter issue. The only thing I had done prior to it beginning to occur was remove the thermo sensor for testing. I could swap relays also I guess. I'm not confident on testing it since its...

Hello - I have 2 issues. I'm not sure if they are related could use some qualified help on next steps. 1999 GW Bimini 306 Twin 1999 Saltwater Series OX66 250HP I do my own maintenance, and have the service manual Problem Description : High Idle - 1100+/- RPM. The first issue began about 5...

Works like a champ. Thanks!!!!!

Thanks very much. I understand perfectly now. May take me a couple days to get to the boat to try it out though. Really appreciate your follow up here.

Thanks. The motor connects directly to the switch. It is 2 wires. No illumination on the switch The motor will keep running if I keep my finger on the switch, so I need to be attentive to not over close it.

Hi - I could use some wiring help with reverse polarity switch on my Bimini 306 console switch. I can't figure out how to wire the 6 wires of the switch. The switch is spring loaded press up or press down to make console go up / down. Over winter I had redone wiring to address some corrosion...

I just want to add to this thread so no one else makes same mistake.... My sender was indeed bad, and I replaced it with a reed sender from Moeller. The package came with 10 machine screws, and assorted other miscellaneous screws. The instructions for assembly are not very good. It does not...

They are rubber/not cork ( Moeller)

Hello, yes - fully disconnected, at the sender unit. The rear tank however is/was still grounded (daisy chain to front tank, then to battery terminal. I get/got the same readings with the sender wire and ground tab connected also. Resistance Test Results Infinite Setting on Meter 200...
