Is it possible that the water could have leaked around the roof where the gage panel is mounted? Never the less, that should be the dealer’s responsibility to find the leak and fix it. I was a warranty tech for marine max for 2 years and that is the type of situations I would handle as a...

I would be calling the dealer for a warranty claim. I’m sure you paid a pretty penny for the boat and that is something they should gladly take care of.

I’ve seen that at least a hundred times. Lol. It’s like you plugged your hose with Saran Wrap. I’ve also seen the hose pinched where the cowling cable clamp clamps. The grey Yamaha hose turns to jelly and collapses under suction from the fuel pump. Then it expands again when you pump the ball.

Oem Omc fuel hose is like insurance that your hose will give you no problems for 10 years plus. Even exposed to south Florida sun. It is about 8 bucks a foot but it will outlast all other hose. I buy it by the 25 ft roll for customers that don’t want future problems with their fuel lines.

I’ve never studied the mechanics of the vhf but I do have Thousands of miles of offshore hands on experience. I have a lot of buddy’s that are offshore guides. I took their recommendations years ago to get the best range for my radio. They say to get a radio with a quality final amp for...

I do have a quality icom radio and a Shakespeare galaxy 5225XT model. When I fish 70 miles off the coast, I need all the range I can get.

I use a 6db antenna 8 ft on my hard top. I get a 45 mile average range. One important thing is not to cut any of the wire that comes on the new antenna. It uses every inch of the wire to help the range. Just coil it up and store it under the dash if there is extra.

Blue Sea Systems ST Blade ATO/ATC Fuse Blocks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001P6FTHC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GqQfFb9AMF8XK

Blue sea is good. The integrated ones are great. Make sure all wires have new connectors so the corrosion fungus doesn’t start growing on your new box. Spray the whole box and connectors with corrosion block when you are finished assembling. Also check the nuts on the battery are super tight...

First thing I would do is replace the fuse box. Cut off all the wire ends and crimp on new connectors. That style box has lots of corrosion issues. Doesn’t take much corrosion to make the box loose voltage and have problems. Cleaning this style box has a very low success rate. I have replaced a...

I’m thinking 17 is way too low for twins. I agree with 19-21 to be your ticket. Bow lift style is important. Guessing it to be more towards the 20 to 21 range once you get that bow lift. Your cruise speed would be better than what you are getting. Get them changed out ASAP. Don’t want to be...

The brown wire is the negative side for the horn activation. The purple is the positive when the key is on. When motor is overheated, the brown is activated and triggers the horn. The test beep is usually activated by the module on the back of the vro pump. No test beep will happen if vro is...

Johnson motor?

Any pics

Sounds great. Glad to see you running your boat. Hope you have a great time.

My bro usually uses the eye of a #2 fish hook to unlock his. He has same style locks. He lost his key years ago.

I’m out of town. I haven’t heard the recent report. May have to go deeper. I usually do good at the 1800 to 2400 area where the drops are large. Check the gps area around these numbers. If you find some weeds here action is sometimes better when there is nothing going on in the shallower water...

Excellent. Sometimes that driveshaft angle can be a bear. Kinda have to wave the lower around while you keep the shift lined up. Sometimes the shift shaft has to be rotated a smidge to line up the shift splines while mating up the lower to the midsection. You did a great job.

Sounds good. Install and report back.
