    Broken anti-siphon valve on a Tournament 192, how do I get the pickup tube out?

    My thought exactly. You might find the correct extractor in a plumbing supply store, I really dont think the hex nut is supposed to move if you really want to remove the pickup tube.

    04 Marlin A/C not Cool

    You would be better off using a qualified technician to diagnose and repair you unit. It may be a low charge or it could be a lot more causes. Without knowing what refrigerant your unit takes, I can't say if you would find it in an autoparts store ( and as I said, you shouldn't be looking for...

    20 year old varnish in tank 208

    Just as a heads up, if you pump out a sample and let it sit, you should see two layers, water and gas. If you see 3 layers, you have phase separation and the gas has to be disposed. Using the gas from phase separation can seriously damage your motor.

    20 year old varnish in tank 208

    So how did you confuse varnish with water? If the tank is half full of water, I suggest you pull the sender and use a hand pump to siphon/pump out the water on the bottom of the tank. You should be able to tell by color and smell when you got most of the water and when yu are pumping gas. The...

    Tank Replacement (New Member)

    It is very important to inspect the rods for scratches, corrosion, damage etc. The smallest imperfection can result in a leak. If you can feel it, it may leak with new seals.

    Dual gas input issues

    Did you add a treatment for the winter layup? If so did you happen to use a separate bottle for each tank:) Sometimes captains unknowingly leave the cap seal on the fuel treatment bottle and if flows down the fill line and clogs the flow. I highly doubt you would do that to both tanks. It is...

    Tournament 192 Bow Eye to Transom Measurement

    Get the make and model number of the trailer you are looking at. Go to the manufacturers web page and you will probably find the stern to bow eye spec but more importantly the spec will give a range of adjustment for fine tuning the winch stand location. That range is usually 2 maybe 3 feet. The...

    20 year old varnish in tank 208

    That stuff looks awful. Regarding the tank in general, that model should have a plastic tank. At least 2001s and newer did. The best approach would be to drain the tank through the sender hole. Add some new fuel (E10 preferably) and hit the seas and doing what you can to stir up the tank. Carry...

    20 year old varnish in tank 208

    Was the gas you out in ethanol? I think there may be water in the tank since your motor died when getting on plane. In that case the bow is angled up and the gas and water move aft in the tank in effect making the water level deeper. Now the motor may be sucking mostly water. To check, dump...

    Tank Replacement (New Member)

    If you have three hydraulic cylinders and you probably do, are all leaking or just the trim (outer) cylinders? The center (tilt) cylinder is a bit more difficult to replace seals and would require another size pin wrench Inspect the tilt ram rods for any corrosion or gauges, etc. If they are...
