Update.... Boat is going indoors next week, and will get a tear down assessment. Probably have more news end of week or week after that. I have been holding off on making a decision on engines (rebuild or new) until I know the scope of work is just transom and not getting into stringers...

Thanks. I will be interested in your project also. Mine has not changed from original photo. Patience!!!

The notches were created 3 years ago when I first noticed the transom issue separation/bulge issues, but could not take on the project at that time. The notches were done because I had the engines lifted up 1 hole to hole #2. The motor bracket was touching he bracket so notched it out of the...

Thanks.

I 2nd that. I should have done that when I first saw my signs.

it will be weeks before the boat is brought inside for work to begin.

1999 GW Bimini 306 Blew starboard OX66 2 weeks ago. Piston rap. In search of replacement low hour 4 stroke 250s. Had recognized some transom signs of issue over last few seasons. Figured while engines off might as well get it repaired if possible. Here is where I am so far. Estimate 10K -...

Curious why replace with aluminum strip or vinyl strip. The aluminum as I understand it is of no value other than to cover up the lack of gelcoat which is what allows the water in over time. I have 1999 Bimini 306. Just had engines pulled because blew piston in my ox66, and need to do a full...

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...
