    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    Having an electrical issue I am trying to chase down. Boat is an 01 Maxum 2400SCR. Bought it the beginning of last year. I installed a Raymarine Axium Nav unit and a new VHF Radio. Found if I had either of those items on while I was at anchor and went to start the boat...they would reset. Did...

    Question on Barnacles in pickup -Alpha one Gen 2

    Great to know. Do just spray right into the intake ports on both sides? Do you use some sort of straw extension, like you get with WD40? And last, do you need to poke out the holes again after to clear out the paint or does it just go in and leave the ports unplugged? Sorry, I know lots of...

    Question on Barnacles in pickup -Alpha one Gen 2

    Excellent!! Thank you! Question on the outdrive painting though...this is a new boat to me, so I didn't paint the outdrive like I did on my last boat (even though the little bastards still grew on it). However, I always taped off the intake as I didn't want it to get clogged up with paint. So...

    Question on Barnacles in pickup -Alpha one Gen 2

    Hey there, I am doing my fall/winterizing for the boat. Just got done changing out the drive oil, and while my head was down there, I noticed I have some barnacle growth inside my pickups on either side of the lower leg. I can easily get to them with a punch or a pick or something to break...

    Upgrading Trim Tab System

    Thanks!! The more I look into it, I think I am just going to buy a whole new system. I could use my pump, but it would require a conversion kit to be compatible, and it's about $350. I am also reading that the existing tabs on my boat are too small. I still need to measure them, but I believe...

    Upgrading Trim Tab System

    I have an 01 Maxum 2400SCR. It has the stock hydraulic trim tab system on it. On my old 18' Maxum, I had installed a set of Bennets and loved them, specifically the trim tab location indicator. My tab system works just fine on my current boat, however I really miss knowing where the tabs are...

    01 Mercruiser 5.0 seems to have lost Horsepower

    Tank was pretty much empty, but had fuel from the year before, so 9/2020 I would gather. He had it professionally winterized by his marina so I would gather it had all the appropriate additives. I filled it fully before launching, so what very little gas was in there got mixed with about 70...

    01 Mercruiser 5.0 seems to have lost Horsepower

    I was planning on taking a look at the plugs. Though if I have em out, I'm just gonna replace them at the same time.

    01 Mercruiser 5.0 seems to have lost Horsepower

    Bought my boat at the beginning of this year. When we first went in, she ran awesome. I was getting like 30-34mph easy and she jumped up on plane at 3/4 throttle. Lately, it just doesn't seem like it has power anymore. Takes a while to get up on plane, and maxing out at about 26-27mph at 4500...

    Can you switch from Alpha one Gen 2 to Bravo 3?

    Thanks!! Kinda what I was thinking. Popping a 5.7 in there was my next thought. I can get a new one for few grand I think, be nice to find a used one, but not sure if that's just asking for trouble. How hard is a powerplant swap? I have access to a cherry picker and stuff and am pretty...

    Can you switch from Alpha one Gen 2 to Bravo 3?

    Just something I'm pondering in my brain. Picked up an 01 Maxum 2400SCR this year. Has a 5.0 with an Alpha one Gen 2 on it. There's a couple of guys near me with the same boat, different years and 5.7's (I think), and they have the Bravo 3. Love my boat, but just doesn't seem to have the ummph...

    Where to put Lewmar Windless Selenoid

    Yeah, I think that is going to be the best thing for me to do. What you have is exactly what I want for a setup. I watched a setup video for it, and the guy had one like yours. I'm thinking the one they gave is more for boats that have a breaker area on their boat. Mine is only 24' so there...

    Where to put Lewmar Windless Selenoid

    I am installing a v700 in my boat. Got everything installed and am buttoning up the wiring. It has a 35a breaker that I need to install near the battery per the manual which is in my engine compartment. Where I am having an issue is the wire connections are on the back of the breaker, so I...

    Washer for 2HP Johnson Mount

    Buddy of mine gave me a small 2hp Johnson outboard for my dingy. The little mounting feet that go on the mount bolts are missing. Anyone know what they are called and where can I get them? I tried mounting without and the little ball end is digging into the plastic mounting plate.

    Adding a 12v DC-AC Inverter

    Hey there, Boat is a 2001 Maxum 2400SCR. Friend of mine has been telling me to add in an inverter to my boat. I have shore power when at the docks, but nothing when on the water. Genny is not an option. Not looking to power anything crazy. Maybe a small tv, coffee pot, maybe a blender. Trying...

    Question on exposed hole after taking screw out

    Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately as Mr. 88 mentioned, the boat is in the water and will be for the remainder of the summer/fall. So sounds like I'm kinda screwed here. Alumarine, yes the transducer is mounted to a bracket. Held in by bolts on either side so I can take it off if...

    Question on exposed hole after taking screw out

    I have a new Raymarine Axium unit that I installed with a new Transducer. Everything works great when I am at no wake speed. But as soon as I hit the gas, I lose my depth reading. I contacted Raymarine and they advised that I need to drop the transducer down a little. I have scuba gear, so no...
