The pump out station system may have a push on fitting, that has a soft collar than jams into the pump out fitting on your boat, Those 'push on' fittings usually need...

    Anybody Using MarCell?

    If it is a signal strength issue, a repeater or mesh network product might help. That said, if you have the new Verizon equipment, your devices may be connecting to the 5G option. The router will create both 2.4 and 5g with the same credentials. One work around is to go into the router and...

    No vhf reception or transmission

    Just a thought. Where are you located? Your radio probably has the options for three different frequencies assignments; one for US, INTL, or Canada. If not set to the correct option, you probably won't hear much. In addition. no-one will hear you.

    No vhf reception or transmission

    I believe that a 'good' antenna will look like a short when ohmed. If that is true, your antenna is suspect. I don't know how you could tell that there was no transmission unless you had another radio nearby. Note that transmitting into an open circuit or no connected antenna can damage a...

    2006 228 seafarer

    I suspects that the last part of the post should say "Any recommendations?" Regardless, my first thought was "does your current accessory buss have the capacity for the added devices? In additions, some info on the boat would be helpful such as number and model of motor(s). present battery...

    Looking for 228 Seafarer fuel tank brackets.

    Pressure treated wood is the least suitable choice you could have made I am sorry to say. The chemicals in the wood will leach out and can cause damage. In addition, the wood may rot leading to structural issues. Marine grade plywood would be a better selection but still not great. In your local...

    Yamaha F-150 lower unit

    Its been a while but I have seen issues with the SEIs paint holding up. It is very important to follow the instructions for painting, especially the initial prep and priming. On a separate note, the first and last lower unit I rebuilt was a Optimax model and that was the worst job I have ever...

    1990 204C Blue rub rail question

    I wash with boat soap and scrub it well. Then (important) let it dry completely and wipe down with acetone. Change the rags often. Rail should look good but it needs a protectant coating. I use Mop and Glo. Others have used a good boat wax. Depending on your how harsh your weather, you may need...

    Yamaha Command Center CL7

    I assume you swapped the pos and negatives. I don't think that would kill the display. It may have blown out something at the engines or on the engine harnesses. There are several fuses on the motors, check all of them especially the smaller capacity ones. Does the display power up and can you...

    Yamaha Command Center CL7

    Funny, I did try adding marine to my search but the audio console keep coming up. I tried again and got a Yamaha piano:) On the third attempt I finally found the display and it is similar to the 6YC display. I don't know what the differences are but regardless, you don't absolutely have to have...
