    Gas Tank replacement? - please advise

    I agree that it is a no brainer on that tank.....don't want gas and fumes exiting nor water entering the tank. Can wait to see what the bottom of the tank looks like before pulling the aux. Could empty it completely and run off the aux until next winter. You have some options on how much...

    Connecting upper and lower electronics boxes

    The power and stuff goes up the rear hardtop support leg. I added a spotlight and it's cable filled that tube (or atleast the opening). Don't want to add another hole to the tube plus may damage the existing wires in it. Could do the wire tie method but hoping for something a little cleaner.

    I want to connect some electronics in the upper and lower boxes but I don’t have a tube connecting the two. I figure I have 2 options but am open to other ideas. Option 1. Have an aluminum pipe fabricated to connect the two. Disadvantage This just adds a new blind spot. Option 2. I could...

    Low speed overheat

    It does have that hose from the poppet valve. I did not notice anything wrong with it while working on the poppet valve but will check it out. But my understanding of the pressure relief valve is that at low rpm's there should not be any water flowing thru that hose.

    New Design and Forum Software Upgrade

    On the old format it marked all topics as read when you left the forum so the next time in you could tell what had been updated since the last visit. Now I have to manually click the "mark all read" link before I leave the forum. I too liked the old look better but I'm sure in time I will...

    Low speed overheat

    Did pull the water jacket. No real salt build up. I do flush everytime. Did find an anode that we assumed was causing the issue but it did not fix it.

    Low speed overheat

    The new lower unit came complete with a new water pump. Timing has not been touched. If it was timing would that only affect one side? Same question applies to the earlier post of a missing o-ring...would just starboard side be affected?
