Sounds about right. If it's done properly 1500-1600 plus the cost of the soda should do it. The blast should leave the hull pretty bare. The tabs should be dropped to get those hidden areas. Then clean, dewax, sand, dewax and apply Interlux Interprotect 2000E for fiberglass sealing (4 coats)...

The marlin genset is mounted in a bad place for water intrusion, under the vertical access door where positively sealing against rain and splash is virtually impossible (the area around the hinges is vulnerable). Once the corrosion starts, there's no turning around. If one had early insite...

Do you mean MPH? 5100 is a little short on top end rpm's. What model, year boat? The performance chart shows 5800 top end. http://www.gradywhite.com/popup/specs.p ... &file=F150

The tach acting up simultaneously with the motor would suggest an electrical problem, not fuel. Many tachs get their signal from a sensor on a plug wire. Assuming this is the case on your motor, I'd check the plug wires with particular attention to the wire with the tach sensor. A loose plug...

Mark the water line, then sand, prime and paint the next time out of the water. Petit make an aerosol primer and aluminum paint specifically for that purpose. You still should scrub it regularly as those barnacles are stubborn critters.

How did you cross 120 with 240? THe plugs are different. At any rate, there should be an additional breaker near the shore power outlet - generally under the gunnel. You'll have to stand on your head to look for it.

I have some new, in the box PolyPlaners 3 1/2 inches, waterproof of you are interested.

Re: In the water or up on Blocks? R U Kidding? Come down to the Sunshine State. I fish at least three days a week and the fishin's been pretty good. With the afternoon thunderboomers, trips have generally ended around noon or shortly after.

I'll have to locate the pump in my mass of stuff. Let you know later. Found it. It's a Dometic PML 500L s/n MPL 060630 115 V, 2.0 amps, Hz 60 It has a wire pigtail thats about 4 feet long. New and in the box. $120 will take it shipping included.

I believe the pump has a std plug into a ground fault receptacle near the pump itself. The pumps are mucho $$$ but I believe I have a new, unused one if your interested.

Assuming your talking about the trim indicators for a Yammi F225 or F250, if you look at the (right side facing from the rear) pivot point of each motor (the hinge on which they raise and lower), you'll see a small black arm attached to a rheostat. These arms are notorious for freezing in...

It really depends where you are and how you maintain the boat. The intense sun and heat in FL is brutal on wax and gelcoat. A cover can help tremendously. Also, the products you use for cleanup can have a major effect on how long a waxing lasts. 3M products are good. I've recently switched...

My 2004 Marlin had no circuit breaker for the bilge pumps in the cabin panel. It DID have a breaker that controlled power to the switches on the operators console (called cockpit switch panel). The bilge pumps are automatic with float switches and connected to the battery power through the...

Catch22 got it right. Consider not replacing it and relying on ride and rpm's to help you trim out. Those senders are notorious for failing unless they're sprayed with water, then lubricant on every trip - then they still fail. :mrgreen:

boslaw: Where are you located? Perhaps some friendly soul on the forum might be willing to visit and give you a primer. I really would be worth your while to meet with an experienced boater and talk about boats in general and your boat particularly.

Running the livewell overnight is not a problem as long as you have power to keep the batteries up.

Year of your 33? What gauge are you reading amps and volts from??? Can I assume you're talking about AC - 120Volt? And were you on shore power?

Is the 258 mounted without a fairing block? If so, exactly how is it mounted? Adding the fairing block (assuming there's none there now) will only enlarge the profile and probably make the problem worse. As Grog said, a flat mount transducer should resolve the issue. I'm not familiar with...

Resorcinol (sp) is waterproof and works very well for a permanent joint. I've used it extensively in teak woodworking. DAP WELDWOOD Resorcinol Waterproof Glue is a high performance, two component adhesive designed to provide the strongest, most durable bonds in severe service application...

Sounds like you've already diagnosed your problem. You didn't say how far to the port or starboard the transducer centerline is from the motor centerline, or how wide and deep the transducer is - but you can almost bet it's the culprit.
