    Fuel Tank Issue

    i would set both valves to the main tank get the engines running and after 15=20 minutes shift the auxiliary tank off and see if the ehgine stays running. It may be some type of air lock.

    With all due respect

    Just changed 3 of 3 of my AGM West Marine and got 6 years on them - One was dead so I figured the other 2 were close behind. Sounds like something wrong in the system.

    Headline Crack

    Theri was a time that Grady had a traveling team that would handle healdliner cracks - have not heard anything about them lately. May be worth a call to a dealer. Mine was repaired outside of warranty 18 years ago.

    Replacing a Marlin Vent Window

    When I had my vent made (tempered) at a glass shop they made the hole in the glass as Grady did originally, but they also had the hole open to the edge of the glass maybe 1/4 inch straight line. They said that made the glass stronger less likely to have a breaking point around the hole .

    Tachometer

    I just had to replace a tach gauge that was installed 7 years ago during a repower. The gauge just went blank. I have twins so it was easy to check by swapping the plugs with the other tach. Easy to replace just take a picture of the wire connections and plug in the new one. the gauge is a...

    Yamaha gauge question

    If the gauge has been working correctly until now then the dip switches would not be a problem. the switches are set for 2 stroke or 4. If not it could bea disconnected wire going to gauge, a bad oil pressure sensor or low oil pressure issue that needs to be looked into. the only other flasing...

    Holding tank discharge pump

    My macerator has a fuse in the fuse box and it has a breaker by the switch in the cockpit. Some baots have the switch in cabin with tank level monitor. my guess if it is the latter it probably has an in line fuse as well - good luck , it is very expensive pump to replace

    Bottom Paint

    Not sure if the previous owner was local to you but it may be a good idea to ask fellow boaters what works in your neck of the woods. I have been using Hydorcoat since it came out and it works great for me in New England waterrs . It goes on easy and does not build up on my boat's bottom.

    Stupid Question??

    Insurance is out of control - guess inflation on building supplies and labor cost etc are adding up as they are with all of us. My Marina requires insurance during 6 months of in water dockage. During the winter I keep mine at local GW dealer and they also require proof of insurance. My...

    School me on bottom paint

    I use Pettit Hydrocoat. It works for us in S New England so I would assume we have similar environment to tthe Portland area. I find Hydrocoat does a good job preventing excessive growth and bottom washing in the fall is very easy with a light power washer. Spring time is easier too. I find the...
