    Bilge Pumps Not Working

    Think the BEST SETUP when doing 2 or more pumps in any boat. You have to float long enough. Until someone can save you. That means EACH PUMP will have a single piece of hose going to the thru the hull fitting. Even my 15' Aluminum has 2 isolated pumps. Each on a separate switch and fuse.

    My 16' X 52" ? rounded aluminum hull and 15 " short shaft transom. Is now way too small for a 250 pounder or larger person. I have battery at transom. 12 gallons of gas at the small bow area to keep the bow MUCH higher. Still I am looking around for big wakes from cruisers and 800'...

    96 Evinrude 50 Cutting Out

    I did exactly that with my LAST ..N O S in boxes this spring. Those 2 items and the thermostat and 1 heat range hotter sparkplug than a standard. Has done wonders. Like a great running new engine. Cost of parts beats a new crummy running engine. :)
