It's the 4 cylinder 131A engine. When trying to run more throttle the inline filter empties out of fuel and then the engine starts to sputter and eventually stalls out. It will idle fine and run at slower speeds ok but if I want to add more power at all it then wants to die out. I had changed...
So my boat is a 1988 Baretta with a Volvo Penta motor. I had an issue over the summer with it not getting fuel properly. I replaced the fuel pump, which is a mechanical pump. That seemed to fix the problem temporarily. The issue seems to be back again. I also installed a inline fuel filter after...
Thank you for your help. I just had a DUH moment when it just hit me how to do this. LOL. I guess I was reading into it more than I needed too. I watched the video and it appeared that the guy put the whole line out and I am thinking, what if I don't need to put out the whole line. The more I...
So if I am reading this correctly, it would require that I put the carabiner close to the end of the rode that I would keep in the boat? How much extra would you suggest? I think the rope I have is 100ft. I also just purchased a anchor shock, so I may try that first before I try this method...
Is there any way I can get some kind of pictorial to see what this looks like. I am trying to picture this based on your explanation but I am not quite sure what to do. I am sorry if I sound like a novice, but I am still learning the tricks of boating. Thanks
I am unsure what you mean by this. My boat does not have an anchor built into the bow of the boat. I have to climb up on top of the bow to put the anchor in and also retrieve it.
Thank you for your response. I have checked out that article and find it helpful, but I am unfamiliar with some of the terminology used in the article. I have more to learn.
I also found a claw anchor but it is 8 lbs with a 6.5 ft chain. It claims that this would hold a 17-24 foot boat. Does this sound accurate to any of you? I am also going to purchase a anchor shock to use with my anchor.
So I need to have 10ft of chain attached to the anchor before the rope? Right now there is about 3-4 ft of chain attached to the anchor and then the rope. Whatever is attached to it is what it came with when I purchased the boat. Plus what I have been reading on anchors it seems that they all...
I live near Lake Erie and it can get windy at a moments notice and the water gets choppy and if I do not want to drift too far then anchoring is necessary. I only anchor from the stern if the conditions are calm and I just want to stay in one place because we are just relaxing on the water...
So I have an 18ft sport boat with a cubby, so no open bow which I now wish I had. My issue is using an anchor that I can toss over the boat that will still hold the boat yet not a pain in the butt to haul in. I have been climbing onto the bow to retrieve the anchor but this has become a real...
I would not take on more than you are comfortable with. I would also make sure that the floor can support the captains chairs before you make that leap. I was working on my boat today, A 1988 Baretta and was trying to find the vent tube for the fuel tank since I am having fueling issues when...
Thank you to everyone for the helpful tips. I am going to try some of them before I go crazy with tearing stuff apart to see what may be happening. I do feel like there is a blockage of some sort. I believe the fuel gauge works properly, also aware that they fail but the gauge can even read...
