    Buying a new polisher

    Didn't stall just slowed way down with moderate pressure. Extension cord was only 15-20ft. I start compound on a slow speed Maybe (800rpms) with pretty mod/heavy pressure on the edge of the pad... then as it buffs in/dries I turn up the speed (1500-1800rpms) and lighten up the...

    Stainless vs bronze vs Marelon, SS screws

    I don't see them listed on their website. But you can get a T-H marine flapper cover that would attach to the Forespar scupper. 4 small screws to set it. Just an option.

    Buying a new polisher

    Makita or Dewalt are the industry standard as far as rotary polisher/buffer. I cheaped out and got the harbor freight model. Hated it from day one. No power, even light pressure would slow the machine down considerably. The trigger response was terrible. Used it a few times and ponied up...

    Rhodan on a GW Marlin

    All I know on THT, all I read is the problems with the Rhodan TM's. Seems like a lot of issues with them. I would likely go with a Minnkota myself. Terrova equivalent on the saltwater side. The auto deploy and retract have issues with the stow/deploy motors and if they fail no way to...

    Aux fuel tank doesnt fit.

    your guess is as good as mine. LOL! I know im going to pay attention to the exact location of the other 2 hoses. Ive always wondered what all the plumbing to the tank was for. When you open the bilge hatch or after tackle hatch is always smells slightly of gas, not strong but you know...

    Aux fuel tank doesnt fit.

    If you look there is a vent up to the cap on the Tracker. (right beside the fill hose) no idea what the other hoses go to. but the one is vented into bilge. There are 2 pumps down there. Livewell and bilge pumps. I never pump much thought into it. I assumed it was emissions related...

    Aux fuel tank doesnt fit.

    Ive owned it since new in 2014. Never touched anything fuel related.... Now i have to track down where the random hose goes.... Im pretty sure it secured under the deck with a filter on the end of it. Ill def look next time I have it out. Its currently stored for winter still. been...

    Aux fuel tank doesnt fit.

    Just called the guy that welded my aluminum bass boat. He can cut 2 inches off and reweld it... :)

    Aux fuel tank doesnt fit.

    I was considering that was well. I only paid 350 for the Al tank. Another 100-200 to cut it down and weld it would be ok. most of the poly tanks I'm finding don't have the fitting in the correct places..... Actually thinking back, my bass boat does not have an external fuel vent...

    Aux fuel tank doesnt fit.

    The one that doesn't fit? Length is 59" Didn't measure the height or width. Height is shallow. maybe 8-10" 46-47 gal from my best guess.

    Aux fuel tank doesnt fit.

    Totally 100% my fault. Bought a new aluminum (old stock) tank to install in the forward compartment (aux location). Its an 1 1/2" too long. Thinking of selling it and installing a poly tank. Any pros/cons. Looking at the Moeller tanks that are approved for permanent installation...

    Wiring to Fuel Main/Aux panel switch on helm

    Ok, First you have momentary switch. Meaning its only going to work when the button is pushed, once you let it go your gauge will read empty. Terminal #5 is your issue... for sure. jump it to terminal #2. Input from forward tank terminal #4, aft tank #6. Jump #1and #3 and they go to...

    Wiring to Fuel Main/Aux panel switch on helm

    I think I found the switch on amazon. The #5 terminal is your issue, I think. Are you using that to supply voltage to the sending units in the tanks?? I'm confused by your description, "fuel gauge on the dash sender" #2 is power in for the lights on the switch.

    Wiring to Fuel Main/Aux panel switch on helm

    Do you have a better picture on the wiring diagram for the new switch. Its very faint and hard to see. I think you have the ground in the wrong place. But I cant see it very well.

    204c Overnighter live bait well

    you want to replace the hoses and clamps. they are def leaking. chances are they are hard as a rock and wont reclamp. Typically an aerator only recycles with water in the livewell. Not really needed it better to just pump in fresh water. Bass fisherman used cooler aerators to...
