No! Don't do that. An outlet, of any kind, should never be installed in a bilge of a gasoline powered boat. Any connections down there must be hardwired. Bad, bad, bad idea :) And, make sure the charger is properly rated as ignition protected, as well.

You're right - the Boothbay water area is a great area to boat around in - especially with the barrier islands. I'm just up around the corner from you in Friendship.

Maybe you want to consider adding a dodger?

Only hot water comes out of the heater - no cold water goes through the heater and then to the stbd side. Cold water lines will split before the heater. Cap or connect the c/h lines... doesn't matter, both ways will work. Do you have an OB or an I/O? There may be an extra step if I/O.

Is there any evidence of something being there? Screw holes or a snap, etc? But you could just use a strap and a snap. Easy peasy, works well, cheap and no "invention" needed

Or is that from some newer model? What does "your" setup look like? That's the important part - not so much what's newer model have as it may have changed.

So you already did this?

It's all doable - when Inrebuilt my cockpit floor, I even built a brand new hatch where the cutout for the old sterndrive engine used to be. I created a drip ledge and drained/plumbed it directly into the stbd floor drain. It works good - but not perfect - enough water on the floor all at once...

Not sure who you are referring to nor what "it /ma sis" means?

Yeah, wasn't quite sure of your existing skill set so I tried to respond on the side of caution. If this is something you're comfortable doing, do it - but as you know, expect to get socked in at times for a couple days... maybe even a week or longer. As long as you have the time and patience...

If there's a rise in the hose after it leaves the interior deck fitting, yes, that sounds like the issue. Re-route the hose and or cut some of the hose off - depends on which way would work better - you can see it better than us :) Or... since it's a 2025 - maybe your GW dealer will be able to...

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?
