Todays report. Got in the car and traveled 45 minutes one way to purchase new thermostats and gaskets. After the rain stopped went to the boat to replace both thermostats. Easy job sitting on the dock. Pleasantly surprised to not see any corrosion but removed and cleaned t-stat area and...

Just finished going through the maintenance records and do not see any reference of thermostat(s) being replaced. If corroded is there anything else I do to the “inside”? Note I do not have temp gauges, only alarms. Will order t-stats and water pumps kits to have on hand. Will wait until I get...

Will check tomorrow. Too much sun and frustration today!

Seasick, correct me if I am wrong but the starboard rear is the tell tale (picture shows water). Not doing anything at lower limit yet. Never had high temp sensor alarm go off but to be honest not even sure it functions. Speed is close to gps so thinking it is ok. Should I have seen water...

Went to the boat. First steps were to run a thin wire into the pilot. Did have some small gunk like seaweed that I pulled out but nothing too big to have stopped the flow in my opinion. Remove the tell tale from the hole and started the motor. Started spitting water and then had a decent...

Heading to the boat in ten. I have had the boat since July and had serviced in October. Still learning my way around outboards as had Mercruisers for twenty seven years. I believe I have everything needed to flush and check hose lines in the car. Worst case will pull boat later today.

Ok will check out in the morning. Thanks.

I have had the engine cover off but have not seen a flush connection anywhere. Engine too old being a 2000? When I purchased the boat last July both pumps were replaced by a dealer on LI. Complete kit for both on invoice. Also called them when I purchased to get low down on work performed and...

Ok dropped in boat today. Started right up (yeah). Port engine pissing a nice stream, starboard not so much (boo). Not sure when impeller last changed on Starboard engine but Port was changed by previous owner due to other maintenance items. Is there anything to check before pulling boat (marina...

Was able to split the engines - thanks for the obvious. Bad news (?) was everything looked like it should. Now turning to throttle controls to validate setup there. You guys are the best! Two days to launch.

always looking for a skinny first mate - lol!

Never thought of it (shows my history on I/O boats). Trick to marking alignment?

Wish I had that kind of money!

How do people work on the port engine right side when twins are present. My skinny you son is in Germany with his F35 squadron so he is out and I am well over 230# so not fitting between engines. Over the top? Minor work with control cables but worried of dropping clips and pins. Too late for a...

Note the local dealer has VIN and is to get back with me next week if rep has other ideas and thoughts.

Met with local dealer today. Went though the math with many questions. Boat, motor and gear are within 100#. Where it gets dicey is fuel as I have twin 92 gallon tanks. If both were full he agreed trailer was not sufficient. Recommended not traveling with more than 20 gallons in each tank...

Great comments. Concerning to say the least. When I purchased the boat and trailer never thought it would have been undersized thinking they were paired up. My old trailer for my Bayliner Ciera 2655 was much beefer and never thought to swap out. Hindsight now. Currently I transport the boat...

In another post there was a trailer that appeared to be undersized for a Grady White. My son and I have questioned the trailer I got with the boat last summer and want expert opinions. We would like to trailer from Burlington VT to Lake Ontario this August and want to be sure we are in a good...

Best to pull from console or engine? Going to do this over next two weeks.
