The batteries are from 2019. Unhooked and took down to Autozone. Voltage and cranking are good, no issues. Maybe the motor on the engine compartment door is failing?
Still cannot find the fuse box. Has to be in the engine compartment I'm guessing. Nowhere else obvious.
Still can't load...
I've attached some pictures as requested but site will not allow me to upload at this time. I have yet to get a direct reading from the battery but will include that next time I get to my boat.
Running the engine at idle, I did notice that the engine compartment door opens faster than if the...
Appreciate all of the recommendations from the forum. Have successfully winterized several times now.
Moving on to boat's electrical. I have only used this boat for swimming and cruising. I do not sleep on it and have never used the microwave, cooktop or refrigerator. The only thing I use...
I am in NH. Raw water cooled engine. My process is to drain block, manifolds, etc. Changed the oil in spring but did not get a whole lot of use this summer due to weird weather. I have never pulled drive.
Thanks for moving thread.
Already added Stabil and ran engine before pulling boat. Tank is about 95% full. Reason I was wondering about water is that I finally brought the tank down this summer to almost empty after 3 years of ownership.
Will check gas in current fuel filter when I replace...
I've got my 1996 Regal Commodore 272 on the stands and am preparing it for winter. I've done my own winterization the last few years without issue. But I have a couple of questions about winterization:
Do I really need to disconnect my battery? The engine compartment is accessed by opening...
My 1995 Commodore 272 has a dip switch panel to the left of the steering wheel that has seen its better days and is now peeling and cracking. I'd like to replace it, along with the worn dip switches but likely won't find this part. Does anyone have a recommendation for a customizable replacement?
Wanted to close this thread. Ended up ordering a fuel sender unit from Amazon. Installed it and now my gauge reads correctly. Thanks for everyone else's help.
Nice to find another owner. Mine is a Volvo Penta 7.4 GL single engine duoprop that we bought in 2020. I call it my waterfront property. Engine seems to be in good shape, although I'd prefer the injectors over the carb. I've done my own maintenance since the boat is in the water since I am...
I was able to locate the fuel tank and sender at the center of the boat, under the sleep compartment mattress. I pulled it out and the arm seemed to go up and down freely. If I rock the boat I notice that the needle jumps around and understand that this is normal for a float. However, I have...
I have a 1995 Regal Commodore 272. When I fill the tank, the gauge does not read accurately. The needle moves as the boat is jostled so I am at least getting a reading. Is it most likely the sending unit? Is this easily replaced? There appears to be a screw off access cover near where the...
Not sure what you are referring to. It's possible the shift controller has been modified from original. There is no other tilt/trim control that I am aware of unless some unmarked dipswitch on the dash controls it. I will take another look, thanks.
The lower unit will not go UP, whether I...
There are a LOT of things behind the dash. Hard to get to and hard to trace anything. I have not seen this relay mentioned in the manual. Are you talking about a relay like those at the pump?
