Honestly? And I don't mean to be a party pooper, but that's going to be really tough in a small boat. Really, really tough. A small boat has limited fuel range... availability of easy access hotels is low along the coast of the NE (it's not like year-round boating areas)... weather can turn...

Try uship dot com - lot's of our customers have used them (you'll get multiple quotes that you can then research and contact the company to ask questions) over the years and it has always worked out well.

First thing I'd do is look through the boat real well - it might be hidden in a storage area. Second... ask the previous owner - might be on a shelf in his garage. Other than that... you should be able to get it through your dealer - or based on the size of the area (using the holes)... check...

Since he hasn't responded back to the the problem about the nav light blockage (nor responded back at all since), he may not be on this site anymore. However, yes, the install makes his boat 100% illegal in the nav light department. 75"/90" - he talked about that already.

Agree - that's the exact reason I didn't mention it. There's probably little chance he could heat it up enough without damage the Ride - and I would assume he wants to try to either return it (maybe a long shot) or resell it. I think between the rope saw and the Debond, it should be doable.

I'll wait for the picture for bette clarification. But... Marelon is an EXCELLENT product. It rivals bronze in longevity. If it's good, it's good. It's not "plastic" if that's what had you concerned.

Oh, right - I get that. But I don't understand why there was mention of a computer controlled LP and the comment about possible flooding when those comments don't, in any way, apply to the conversation. Is there more to this that I'm not understanding?

Oh, wow. I had no idea the install is relying totally on the adhesive. Yeah, that kinda sucks that they designed it that way. But... it is what it is and that changes things and what I wrote above is pretty much a moot point. HOWEVER... I did see some good news in the installation directions...

I'm still not following - how does this affect the OP's OX66's?

I never really thought about radar vs VHF... but I'm thinking it must be fine? There are many, many, many boats running radar with VHF's nearby. Also radars with light poles very close. Would be a great question to ask the radar manufacturer for clarification... as long as they don't give a...

There shouldn't be any computer involved with your electric low pressure pump. That runs all the time based on how you setup the relay.

It's on my list to probably do at some time - well, has been for about 7 or 8 years :). Pretty straight forward job, too. Are you making block-off plates or purchasing? Or maybe just using the existing cover plates? As far as where the pump goes - I would just put it somewhere accessible for...

Google "rope saw" - that's what some of us over here call what you're talking about regarding the windshields :) Good/fair question, Chris. Of course, this is my opinion, but it's one I strongly agree and have abided by working on boats for over 30 years. So far, this has never let me down...

As long as you didn't use something like 3M5200 (which is completely the wrong product for applications like this) you'll be fine. If you did, you can try to get some strong fishing line in there like a rope saw. Heat can help - as long as you don't damage the Ride, of course. While I've...

I'm not aware of low engines ever causing hole shot issues - it's more of a top end problem because of the extra drag it creates (which isn't yet an issue at low speeds). If the anti-ventilation plate is too low, though, yes, that definitely needs to come up. Strange that they were mounted too...

:)

Fan-freakin-tastic! :) :) And thanks for the dinner offer! And the recommendation for a dinner offer, too :p

Don't thank me, yet :) But it's certainly a logical possibility. Hopefully that's all it is!

How about the pitot hose? If that has come off the gauge and/or split/cracked, it would shoot water out when at speed and follow "some" pathway. Given it's roughly in the location of where you are seeing water come out... pull the gauge (or panel if you have one) and inspect.

Of course... if a lot of sealant was used, then it likely also squished down into the small gap between the vertical section of the livewell and the cut-out. From what I can see in the picture, it doesn't appear to be too bad... but that's only looking at one small section. Can you "wedge" the...
