viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15699 Not sure what happened to the pics but I did alot of work on my fuel system earlier this year.

Be careful the bottom of the livewell on mine was so thin the fitting broke out of the bottom along with the surrounding glass. I had to glass over the bottom with several layers and redrill the drain hole. Then when I went to replace the hose the thru hull broke off from the other end. Mine was...

Yes on ebay motors, boat parts. The seller was Speed and Custom Marine out of Quincy Florida and I drove to his shop and picked the parts up in person.

There is a guy in FL that sells aftermarket pumps for around $400. I got one from him and have had no problems. He sells them on ebay. He also sold me the oe low pressure pumps for less than anyone else too. I was back up and going for about $500. You can remove the high pressure pump, dry it...

That bar that goes across the hole is a removeable pin. You can remove the drain and push the pin out. I used a piece of stainless rod painted white to replace it on a friends boat.

Your right no use in messing with it. Went out today and when we hit 8 miles my fav station started going in and out. Even my 14 year old said can we just turn it off(maybe he just doesnt like dads music?). I will pick up one of those ones you listed probably. Thanks for the input.

The fm antenna on my Seafarer is located in the cabin screwed lengthwise over the rod holders. I have not been pleased with the reception and looking for advise. My last boat had an 8 foot antenna mounted on the side of the center console and the local stations came in great up to 30 miles out...

Some pics of the installation. The tank and lid supports are the original wood. I have been over this whole boat in the last year and have not found one bad piece of wood or any signs of rot. An excellent example of how well a boat can hold up after 21 years and 1300+ hours if taken care of...

Thanks for the tip on the switchs. Mine are all working fine its the lights under them that need replaced. The led lights from radio shack may not be marine grade but it will be an improvement over the old ones. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... =techSpecs Also found my problem with...

I was not concerned with a perfect cut so I just freehand cut it with my sawzall. It is not straight but it is not hurting anything. I think the foam is fine since the tank is epoxy coated. It shouldnt rub off the coating and will hold the tank in place. I would still put some neoprene strips...

I had to cut that lip to get my tank out too. The lip at the aft end was 2 inchs wide so I cut off 1.5 inchs. I also trimmed 1/8 of an inch of each side so when I put the tank back in it wouldnt be so tight as to scrape the coating off the tank, when putting the tank back in I even put tape...

For anyone that needs to replace the fuel fill hoses on these models here is a quick rundown. On the Seafarer I expected alot worse than what I got. Contrary to what I have heard these hoses are not all that hard to replace if you read these notes. First thing I noticed is that the hose to the...

Success, had a helping hand today. With the rope around the hose at the access hole that I had cut in the stringer next to the fish box the old hose came out pretty easy. I drilled a hole through the end of the hose at the gunnel and tied another rope to the end of the hose. We then pushed and...

66 Well that is not very encouraging is it. I have already made a mess out of my hands. The gentleman I talked to at GW did not even flinch when I said something about cutting a hole in the stringer close to the fish box. He just said to get as high up as possible to ensure I was above the foam...

I guess you are talking about the hose to the front tank which is the one i cant get out. The hose to the rear tank was a piece of cake. So can you give me more info on how you did the front hose. I got the front hose unhooked from both ends and all the silicone off ut cant get the hose to move...

I am getting ready to replace the fuel fill line on a 1983 24 offshore. How did you go about it?

Maybe I can help with this. My ox66 was doing the exact same thing and I mean exact. I would be cruising along at 4k rpms and it would just die. It didnt hesitate or stumble just shut off like I turned off the key. It would start back up every time and run fine for awhile but each trip it would...

On our 228 the aluminum plug is seized up. I tried heat and big wrenchs and it wont budge. It is an aluminum plug and I suspect that it has not been out since the boat was new. I drilled a hole in it so water could drain out and will be trying to drill it out completely one of these days. I am...

You have way to much tongue weight and your stand is back as far as it will go. What I have seen done is a stand made and attached farther back on a seperate crossmember with the bow roller attached to it. They left the winch where it was and just had more cable showing than you would usually...

Wondered what that hole wad for myself. American flag is a great idea.
