    Oil Warning Alarm while trolling

    There should be a small oil tank under the cowling. Check to make sure the tank is full. There should also be two lines on the tank-a high level and low level. Once the oil hits the low level line the alarm will sound thats activated by a float switch in the small oil tank. If you find the oil...

    I was able to find a sheet of rubber that I cut to size.The place had several different size and thickness. GW used small rubber strips that was used to elevate the hatch to make it even with the deck. The piece I used made for a perfect fit and raised the hatch perfectly level with the rest of...

    Adding a live well and insulating the fish box

    I used to use a pickle barrel and would screw the washdown hose to a fitting at the bottom of the barrel.Then I had a 4ft long 2 1/2 inch hose at the top of the barrel where the water would drain right over the side of the boat. One advantage to this type of barrel is it came with a screw on lid...

    Vacuflush Head

    Any Vacuflush system I have ever seen gets its water from the fresh water holding tank. Not seawater which limits odors due to the lack of seawater but its always a good idea to pour holding tank treatment if you dont empty the waste tank for an extended peroid of time..Especially during the...

    Gas Tank Level with Winter Storage

    Either full or empty..the more space you have in your tank the more likely you are to absorbe moisture/water which causes phase seperation/bad gas. Since dealing with E10 for the past 8-9 years I always stored full with stabilizer and never had a problem. '05 300 Marlin F250's

    Documentation Question

    You register with the state but you dont display NYS numbers on the hull. The "registration" numbers are your documentation #'s that has to be placed somewhere in the boat that would leave a scar if removed. The name on the boat is the official ID. Also some lending institutions require...

    2stroke vs 4stroke

    Im not sure what else has to be done at 100 hrs. Oil change, fuel filters, lower unit oil change...But there are people who just hand over the keys and say "call me when its done".. and then write the check. If I can do it, im gonna do it myself which does save me a boat load of money and most...

    2stroke vs 4stroke

    Is xd100 a 100 to 1 fuel-oil ratio? Not sure what you mean by maintance cost...I've had my F250's about 4 years now and there really is no more maintance with a 4 stroke then with a 2 stroke.The Difference is? 4 stroke: -Change oil every 100 hrs(I do mine every 50 hrs because its so easy and...

    Im a big fan of the Hardtop. You wont be disappointed. Easier to mount antennas, radar, great for rod holders, much more solid to hold on to while walking to the bow, Radio box saves space and a nicer place to mount VHF's and maybe chartplotters/depthfinders etc../and I believe it will add to...
