    Springtime tuneup TOURNAMENT 225

    I would think that all of that should have been done when she was laid-up for the winter. I know that I do all of that except change plugs...I put new ones in before splashing her. I was and clean and make sure every thing is working properly (lights, sea-cocks, of cours saftey stuff) was her...

    Ethanol

    I had the same question and got differing opinions so I did some research. The gas stations here in Md changed over to e-10 and did nothing except add a 10 micron filter at the pump. one marina did have his "tank scrubed" before changing as e10 is a cleaning agent as well and has had no...

    What Actually Happens

    I am going to answer my own thread. I want to pass this along to you all as there still seems to be a lot of questions. I contacted the fuel company as well as the gas station to confirm what was told to me. The gas station did nothing other than frequent changing of the 10 micron fuel...

    What Actually Happens

    Thanks for your replies....I will run it down then fill with E-10,startron and ring free...however, does any one actually know what happens to the fuel when E-10 and regular gas are mixed ( assuming no water is present) The reason I ask is I am sure that the gas station that I use did not have...

    ethanol gas

    Thanks, gradyfish22. I did get a ton of water..so perhaps I did get some bad gas. What do you think of gradually adding 15 or so gals of ethanol to the system. :?: as I said the dealer said that they are using a different formulation :?:

    ethanol gas

    we are just switching to ethanol here and I am concerned about mixing with the previous blend. My dealer said that there were problems in the beginning however they are using a different formulation and it should't create a problem. Here is my main concern....I left my tanks at 1/2 full two...

    Our new Tourney 225 - a few pics

    Mike...That cover looks great! I have a similar set up you may want to think about. I have 2 short poles (adustable with thumb screw) with a snap on the end (just like your bow cover.) That has worked great for me as no water collects anywhere on by tonneau cover. I hardly ever use the back...

    Our new Tourney 225 - a few pics

    I haven't had any issues with water in the boat, however my scuppers are about 1/3 under water which has cause the chrome to discolor. My boat is so great...I would tell you that is has been by far my best boat ever! I have owned many larger boats from sport fish to express models and a few...

    Our new Tourney 225 - a few pics

    looks great...takes me back a couple of years ago when mine was inside awaiting spring delivery....incidentally, I have the same set up and the motor does not clear the water...about an inch plus stays in...so it is painted as well. As for the bracket, I am sure your dealer is well aware that...
