When I start the engine I blow the main fuse that controls all electrical. When I replace the fuse it will sometimes it will start. By mistake I left the key in the run position and when I put in the fuse in I could hear like a an electrical burn sound. I was on the lake and had to change out 4...
I am replacing the back seat of 1995 glastron. Those with the seats that cover the cooler make sure you open the seats and get the water out when done. Over the years the water has evaporated into the wood of the seat. So I decided to replace bench style seat. My question is the foam for the...
I have a mercruiser 4.3 1995 and wanted to get a spare key made. Went to Lowes but no luck. Where can I go to get a spare key made? Do local boat dealers do this? Thanks. It is a glastron if that changes anything thanks!
When I start the motor I hear a loud metal on metal sound and nothing else. I tried twice and stopped. This is the first I have used since last summer. I used a cranking motor but have a large marine batter I will try tomorrow. I was reading online about car motors and they described how to use...
I have a seat on my boat that goes across two coolers. Over the years as the ice melted the water evaporated into the wood and it has rotted out the bottom of the seat. Which type of wood or way do people recommend repairing it. I am thinking of treated wood and covering it with thick mil...
Re: Ideas for keeping seats in front from bouncing off when hitting waves 1996 19.4 G
It may be a few weeks before I get a chance to take a pic of what the underside of the seat looks like. It is covered up for winter. I do have a pic what the front seats look like set up. Mine only has the...
I have a 1996 19.5 Glastron. The front seat covers come bouncing off when I start hitting waves. Also it was kinda neat idea to have the seat covers sitting on top of these plastic storage units so you can take them out and clean them but they also tend to bounce around. Anyone else have this...
I have a 1996 19.5 glastron. Great boat but it is a bit of pain getting in and out of water if you are not use to it. Has any one added a swim platform or have any ideas on improving the boarding from water? I have viewed a few sites that make the swim platforms and they range from $900-$1500...
I havea 4.3 Gen+ 1996 It has this problem but has gotten worse. It idles kinda rough but I dealt with it. Now after I run it fast and then slow down to under 5mph it will run rough and then cut off. It starts right up though and will take off and run fine. Is this a problem I can fix? I had the...
I go to where I store my boat and my outdrive is gone!!! I can not believe this BS. It is a mercurise V-6 Gen. Anythoughts on how much is going to cost to replace this? Also I am so sad and pissed! Never had anything stolen. Am I going to have any problem with this new outdrive?? The other one...
I am getting ready for winter and wanted to make sure I charged my batteries during the winter off and on. I have a an old 12volt car battery charger that I was thinking of using to charge the batteries with. I have one that is the marine cranking battery and one that is a regular deep cycle...
Sometimes my 1996 mercuiser 6cy acts like it doesnt want to cut off. When I turn it off it runs rough a few seconds and then cuts off. It does not happen all the time. But when it does it takes several times of cranking to start. Is it because I dont run the blower often enough? I thought the...
I just replaced the radio that was in my Glastron for one with an Ipod hook up. I wired it up the same exact way the previous radio was. Hot wire and Ignition wire to the Hot wire from the battery. and Negative wire to a Negative wire I guess to the battery.
It was running fine both the radio...
I checked my fluids and found I need to add some power steering fluid. I looked in the manual and it said to use Quicksilver Power Trim and Sterring Fluid or Automatic Transmisson Fluid Dexron or Dexron II. What do most people use and is there % of quick silver power trim and sterring fluid...
I want to set up my radio so it is connected to seperate battery. I have changed them in and out of cars but have not hooked them directly to a battery. Is it safe to connect the hot wire directly to the battery and the negative from the radio to the neg of battery?
