Honestly that’s a great idea. Luckily I was an able to see the water fuel line very easily. It’s kind of mesmerizing watching the water droplets fall through the gasoline
The first sample I took in a quart jar was nearly 50/50. I pumped a gallon off the bottom and then I got a clear larger container and pumped it off the bottom and let it separate and it didn’t have much at all. Filled my mowers and cans last night.
Had a slight issue last outing and my kicker tank ended up with a lot of water in it. ( rain night before. Vent open and it was strapped to transom )
Now I have 5 gallons of gas in there and quite a bit of water. I want to run it in my lawn mower. I’m thinking I can let it separate in a...
My boat has 2 newish speakers in it but I have zero clue where a head unit is or if one ever actually got installed. Want to add some tunes and I know that there are little FM/ Bluetooth panels that will provide 100w of power which should be enough all over EBay in the $10-15 range. Are they...
It looks like the interior is pretty good so it will go back together once you fix it…. Consider this. Replacing it with new is going to cost $60k. You inherited it so whatever you put in it is all you have in it. You need to spend $10k to get something you know you can trust so anything below...
I think the handhelds are so cheap because they sample the air against clean air baseline. That’s why they have that warm up period. The integrated would have to have a different calibrated type sensor
I just ordered and got a cheapie. Last time I was out on my boat with my dad trolling around he swore he smelled gas. I’m pretty sure the portable tank for the kicker was just venting a little where he could smell it. I couldn’t find any fumes multiple times even after I pulled it out of...
I just got the motor hung on my kicker bracket. It didn’t come with a control harness so I had to use the ELRA harness from the old motor: The new (ELRY) motor has an extra male bullet connector that is connected to the grounds. I’ve hooked it all up it’s just that dangling. All other...
Volvo does spec their own fluid but also states in manual that Dexron III ATF is acceptable.. keep in mind that Dex III ATF is a 10w ISO 32 hydraulic oil as is most “ Power Steering “ fluids
It is for sure the last fiberglass boat that I’m going to break down for parts. But also I have a spare everything for my ‘new’ boat except a shifter and an engine, so I really shouldn’t ever need another.
I finished chopping up my last parts boat last night. It was a1988 Regal Medallion 185 last in the water in ‘22. I bought it as a parts boat that I suspected was safe enough for a cruise or 2. It was very rough interior wise but had a solid floor. The motor mounts ended up ripping out and had...
Forgot to update this. Drove to get the new old 9.9 ( T9.9 ELRY ) and it is for sure a low hour non commercial use motor. Sold by the dealer I bought it from originally.
Had a slight whoopsie that the guy that helped me load it must have missed as well. But nothing major. Transported on the...
I can’t see what’s going on in the video but can kinda see you have sanded past the gel coat in the picture. That’s not good. Your boat isn’t painted it’s gel coated.
Very common to scuff and paint an old fiberglass boat. Just don’t try to remove the gel coat. To repair what you did just get a...
Clear all the way down to the lower unit. It was only throwing a light mist and steam before but impeller also still looked good. Previous owner discounted it quite a bit and I didn’t think anything of it and simply ordered a new OEM kit.. I would invest more time and $$ into it if it were in...
