A garden hose will screw right into the hole for the pee stream adapter if that tells you anything. I have quick flushers installed on the ports to make it faster when I get back to the dock. Just a word to the wise, it helps to have a short 1' hose with male and female ends to screw in if you...

did you check it with a voltmeter? That will tell you if it is a switch in the dash, wiring, socket, or bulb. You need to use a meter or you will drive yourself nuts on nav lights. jh

The boat is very predictable at the dock. Even with the engines placed so close together, the boat still pivots on itself nicely. You'll have no troubles. For the most part, keep the motors centered and use the sticks when backing down. jh

Thanks for the clarification. I'm still a huge Evinrude fan, but the E-tecs are getting about 15-20% premium on price everywhere I've checked. My next choice would be Suzuki just due to weight. They are not giving E-tecs away, and buyers would want four strokes down the road, so it is a...

Thanks for sharing the E-tec numbers I have not seen one powered with E-tecs and I'm a huge OMC (now BRP) fan. But that fuel burn with E-Tecs would have me scared to four strokes. GW's factory numbers with the Yamaha 225's is in the 15gph range at 4000RPM doing 26MPH. The Yamaha's would...

Restore them just like gelcoat. Much easier if removed, but can be done in place. Wet sand with 800 then 1000 if you can feel any scratch with a finger nail. Start with heavy duty compund and a wool wheel on a high speed polisher. Switch to a foam pad and 3-M finnesse-it. Add a coat of...

I assume you are referring to the Sprerader lights as a spotlight was not factory option. The manual shows two blue with white tracer wires originating in the helm console. Does not say exactly what switch and it is not wired like my marlin at all according to the diagram. FYI, You can...

Are you sure your pump-out take off is from the bottom of the tank. Mine was converted to a dip tube set-up (which is much better by the way) by the previous owner. On mine the tube actually fell off the fitting. I dreaded this for a month before I finally mustered the courage to remove the...

Also check your GPS, most have a setting for low voltage alarm. 1) Make sure it is on. 2) Set it for 11.5V or higher You may get a nusince alarm during pump start-ups. My electric head kicks mine if I've been off shore power over 12 hours with a normal load and light engine charging. jh

Consider rigging up a way to charge a battery via the Honda DC charge output. This is designed specifically for battery charging. It sounds like you run pretty far out, so thinking this one out at the dock can save a headache out at sea. You really could use jumpers, but setting up a...

There is a procedure in almost every shop manual on how to lube the cables. Remove the end fitting from the shifter, make a funnel out of some waxed paper taped to he cable end. Fill with lube and hang higher than the cable run. After several hours depending on lube viscosity, it will work...

You absolutly want a stretchy line, Nylon is great for this and cheaper too. I'd suggest you consider eight plait as opposed to three strand as it is just a better line. I've used it and its great and far better for hand retrieval. It is also best when using a windlass as it is much less...

Insert large amounts of drool here... I also like the windshield hardtop combo on the mainship rumrunner series of pilot boats. I was blowing 25 on Friday with small craft advisory. The boat could have easily made it, I just did not feel like putting the plastic in so we stayed an extra day...

I'm glad someone else sees the benefit to a full height windshield. The new BW Conquest is very nice on the eyes. I'm tired of looking through plastic. Plastic is for kiddie toys. Besides if they made the hardtop an integrated part of the boat, the tubing flex and weld issues would be all...

The rear hooks on most boats are for trailer tie down, not towing, especially heavy loads. You really should check with the factory on this one as I've seen towing and other pulling lines break and the results are devastating. As usual make sure only essential personell are within shot of the...

Still no full height windshield. Didn't they look at the new Whaler... What a silly place for the key switches and no window in the aft? Is there really two tables for down below or is the wood a fancy one for photo shoot? They don't even post a pic of the aft. Is it designed for two full...

Good deal, it's the cheapest 1000Watts you can buy. The first 1000 watts being the most expensive of course. Although their 3000i unit is double the price of the 2000i. I'd rather buy two 2000's and the parallel cord if I needed 3000W. Not sure what Honda was thinking there? jh

My OMC fuel filter bracket is crossed to a Racor filter with Bowl. Some filter assemeblies can be crossed over to a Racor without having to by the whole bracket or modify the plumbing.

I'm just curious, what pricing are you getting on the 1000i versus the 2000i?

I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands. jh
