Up on plane - got it. Thanks for the clarification. Hmmm. With an engine trimmed fully down (or nearly) it's quite common for all (or at least most) planing style hulls to experience a list due to having too much hull in the water (too much drag). But it should level out once the engine is...

Where do you have your motors trimmed when this is happening? What does "underway" mean? Meaning, be as specific as you can.

Sort of along the lines of above... a moisture meter does not a surveyor make. Too many variables involved and possible lack of knowledge to blindly trust some survey. Just a quick example... was the survey done right after pulling the boat and right after a rain? Best thing to do is to get a...

There 'ya go.

It's a little hard to follow what you've done so far regarding diagnosis, but... -- Dirty electrical connections can cause this. This could be either the + or - -- Even old wires can do this -- Circuit breakers get tired as they get old Again, not sure what you've done - but that should help...

I believe what you heard about "wood" transoms is not quite correct - they transitioned to a "better" wood transom, made by a company called Greenwood. But note, this still didn't solve the bane of GW's and their transom rot. The issue was entirely due to how they skipped steps in building the...

That's exactly what I do (RF + Startron), as well, Robert. Are HPDI's worse with carbon buildup than OX66's (which is what I have). I honestly don't know - I just would have assumed HPDI's were the same or better.

We can't tell you exactly what's wrong any better than your dealer can - we're not there to investigate things. YOU need to do some hands on investigation yourself if you don't want to take it to a mechanic. About all we can tell you is that the problem is ""most likely the fuel bulb, the...

You could add Ringfree to your fill ups - it makes a noticeable difference in things like the O2 sensor and barbell - so I'm sure it helps keeps injectors and such cleaner, too.

No, I haven't see that before. Odd. But when you say "lower ash"... was that in comparison to Penn Synthetic... or just a general comment? Reason being, I have found that Penn smokes noticeably less than Yama. Evinrude XD100... even less.

There won't be any issues by doing that - I think we're still just wondering if it's necessary. But as noted a few times, there's nothing wrong/dangerous about doing it. You won't need 10g - although, again, it can't hurt. As noted above, best practice is to go to a bus bar. Going right to...

Did you try running with the aux tank's fuel cap off to see if you have vacuum building up from a clogged vent line or fitting? Could also just temporarily bypass the valve to see if it's the problem.

Side note... If you don't have something solid to screw into, you can first glue mounting strips and then screw into that.

Sunbrella is a synthetic product made of acrylic that is extremely durable. It can be cleaned and re-waterproofed....... but for a t-top setup, does waterproofness really matter? Even if it's not re-waterproofed, it will not drip through unless there's a low spot where water can puddle. Who...

Done this many times on different boats. 3M4200 squeezed gently (not too much so you avoid excessive squeeze out) into the rubber channel... and then tape the rubber in place. You can use 3M5200, as well - but it's absolute bear to get it off should you need to replace the rubber at some point.

Good point - now that you mention that, I have never seen fuel selector valves grounded or bonded in any boat.

NHAngler, do you know how the stringers/knees are built? I do not, but... if the interior transom first gets a layer of glass before the stringers/knees are laid up against it, then there should be zero transfer of moisture. I would "think" that's the way it's done... but then one would also...

Hmm. Well, you're right. But that would mean YOU would be carrying the charge. Although I thought that only happened when you were standing in a line in the library on a carpeted floor and you drug your feet back and forth on the carpet and then touched the earlobe of your friend in front of...

I think if you can go to the left or right of the filter, or above it, you'd be fine. Port - I think I know what you mean. I've used something like that from Marinco many, many times.

What mounting area do you have near the batteries? But not above a battery - that is generally a big no-no, especially with lead acid batteries. It's all really pretty much straight forward. Are you limited by cord length and charger lead length? A lot of this depends on the model. But in...
