I don't recall the exact details for break-in but I'm 100% certain you can and should run WOT during break in (for brief periods) with your df200. Ken uses manufacturers data and his experience with Zukes to determine pitch. Unless you are running the boat really heavy, I doubt you will need a...

I can't comment on the pitch, but Ken often gets it right or darn close. Is the prop the LFE3? I ask because I went from f150s to df200's and have some prop traction issues still. He advised the LFE3 to be a better alternative to the Mercury Eco Enertia on the 4 cylinder Zukes. Please report...

Boat began life on the Alabama coast in a dry stack with very little use. The 2nd owner mostly cleaned it in his garage and occasionally fished it. Coincidentally I did have to pull the sending unit to siphon a little water and fuel sludge off the bottom - ethanol is a heck of a solvent! Aside...

You all are making me wonder. Has anyone ever seen a tank that looked factory new on the top with a hole in the bottom? The PO of our boat had a lot of free time on his hands and was a clean freak. I'm confident he rinsed the tank yearly. The top side of my tanks are like new at 20 YO, but I...

Looks like covid did you a favor. Let me know the next time your cristal ball sees that kind of event in our near future! :)

I got COVID at Thanksgiving. I was not thankful. Additionally I can't smell a damn thing still. What should I do? On the flip side, public bathrooms seem so much more pleasant.

Chris, are those prices USD or Euros? If USD, that's a heck of a deal for twin 300 aps.

I don't know know where to find your exact seat. It might be out of production. Email Grady White and they can point you in the right direction. Any seat with your preferred dimensions can work. If the seats in your 2005 Journey are anything like our 2005 Islander, there are plenty of better...

It would seem most enclosures are now like yours. This is the 1st one Ive seen with the gasket. I suppose it might deflect some air, but I can't imagine it doing much more than that.

Finally got some photos, albeit not the best lighting. The view is much clearer than the flash might lead you to believe. I was also very happy it would go up without much of a fight in 45⁰ weather. All of my clear was replaced, 2 new front panels made, repairs where needed, and a helm cover...

When the weather warms up later in the week, I'll hang everything and provide photos. The canvas man talked me out of the semi-rigid material in the front. I ended up using 40 on the front and 30 everywhere else. I'm extremely happy with the results. He exceeded my expectations. I went from a...

Small holes should be drilled in different locations of the transom to determine how far the water has propagated to determine if a full replacement is needed. There is an aluminum channel embedded at the top of the transom. Water and the preservatives are reacting with the aluminum creating the...

I appreciate the ideas and thought. I forgot about the frig. I never run it for fear of killing my batteries by accidentally leaving it on too long. Add that to the list. As the kids are getting out of the nest, my wife and I would like to use the boat on occasion for an overnight or 2, so...

Advantage: *Long term reliability - how much can I draw down without damage? *Power reserve health - my batteries started my engine just fine, but had little capacity beyond that. Exactly how much, who knows. When did it start to degrade? How often should I replace them? *Power reserve...

Chris, I wish you a speedy and full recovery. I've had some major work done over the years. No fun! The more I read, the less I am concerned about the dc-dc charger to prevent excessive current draw. The Suzuki manual states that excessive electronic draw can drain the battery while the engine...

I don't know about Slovenia, but this guy could pull off miracles!

Don't buy new if you don't plan to keep it. Used would be the best way to go, but if you don't know engines, you might be digging a deeper hole. This could be a good option...

Chris, did you ever pull the trigger on any of this? My old crusty DC batteries managed to make it thru the season - barely. I'm considering a new plan, but need some questions answered. The plan: Buy a new starting battery for the starboard engine. Port is new Buy a 125ah Lipo and isolate it...

X2 One of my 1st thoughts was why Edgewater, but after looking at them closely and knowing seasick's knowledge, I'm not surprised.

Congrats! My neighbor has the 24/25' model of the same vintage. They seem to be put together very well. At some point I will give up on the idea of overnights, and go with a DC, but likely a cat. The stability, ride, and deep head compartment are appealing.
