Point well taken. You're making it sound like the only pump is under the remote tankl and the toggle switch under the cover activates it? Could be wiring, I'll look at the harness tonight when I get home. Whats it take to change out the harnesses?

Thx Parthery, I toggled the switch and the reservoir fills. Are you saying that the toggle switch is wired to the pump on the main tank? Someone told me there were two pumps - one on/near the reservoir and mounted below the remote tank. Not true? The float inside the filter moves smoothly up...

Last weekend on way back to dock the low oil alarm sounded. Checked remote tank and it had maybe 1-2 inches of oil. added what I had on boat (2 quarts) but never thought to check the reservoir under the cover. Limped back for two miles at 1900 rpm with alarm on the whole time. At dock filled...

Greetings all. About 5 years ago I mounted the Garmin 188 chart plotter (gps) and have been happy with it, this Christmas was given a Garmin 500c fish finder (it has a transom mount transducer) and want to mount it as well. Would have been nice to have one unit perform both functions but can't...

The description of the boats ride is dead on.

I've got a small bit of play in my steering, a small skipping feeling. I want to top off the fluid and bleed the line before diagnosing further. What fluid would I put in - the motor is a 1998 yamaha 250 2 stroke. No idea what steering system I have (Seastar or not?). Do I use hydrolic fluid...

Great picture. It feels like we're interrupting something!

Derbycycles.com - 3 quarts delivered by UPS - $83.97 plus $10.05 shipping. $94.02 or $31.34 per quart. Thats like buying two at WM and getting 1 free. Before I pull the trigger I'm going to walk into WM and show them the derbycycles price - they've matched other offers for me before, lets see if...

called them, found it. they have a section for all boats with hard tops and t-tops,then instead of asking for the particular make/model they have overall length and width choices. $592 plus ship/handling. I found a local guy who will shrink wrap dirt cheap - $6.50 per foot. He's already dome my...

Funny, they dont carry a cover for my boat with the hard top...

I've got the 1998. I hate to jinx myself by commenting on it though..but its solid. Pushed my 226 close to 30 mph at 4700 rpm and half tank of gas. Drinks gas and oil like they're both a cheap commodity, but I hop in, crank her up and never get a complaint. She smokes, she's loud, she drinks...

Leaving it in the water for winter is not an easy decision. I've done it a few times (on Long Island, similar weather patterns as you). 1st requirement - Get an ice eater to make sure the water around the hull doesnt freeze. Water has to be moving to prevent it from freezing up. Put a...

I hope I can describe this right. Have been seeing a trickle of water thats rusty colored along the gunnel side of my port fishbox (behind passenger seat). Imagine if you were changing out the frsh water pump under the gunnel, the puddles always start back there after rains or a good cleaning...

SAR - Search and Recovery PLB - Personal Locator Beacon By the way - nice fish in your signature photo

there are so may postings on this site about changing the thru hulls. Do a search and you'll find them all. Its a job and a half for some of the fittings but they can be done. Make sure you like the SS look, many people say it looks like their boat is wearing jewelry or was shot up with gunshot...

I have the same boat. No livewell installed from factory. The switch titled 'livewell' controls the salt water washdown pump (hose connection monted on port side of splashwell. The boxes you mention have drains, good if you want to put fish in, or load up with ice. I plug mine up most of the...

I want to weigh in on this 1 more time. My 20' dolphin was a very good boat for what I did with it which was learn learn learn about boats, boating, safety and gaining the confidence I think everyone needs on the water (shame its not a licensing requirement). The design flaw made life...

mold and peeling paint: that boat had water in it.

I own the 92 226. I can take a picture, PM your email address

I used to own a 1976 dolphin. Great boat to learn on and served me well..BUT, on top of everyone else's comments on rot/wear and tear on older boats beware of construction designs too. The dolphin didnt have scuppers, all water (rain water and splash) drained to a single bilge under the...
