    I HATE AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS!

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Maybe discuss with NA but I'm thinking the drive height might benefit higher Why Using Crap----erall insight, they have the motor height higher than bottom of hull. The forward power is good, reverse not so much. The motors are set back further so water will come up prior to making contact

    Merc 250 Verado Fuel increase

    Well the fuel pump run function didn't work on the SB motor, but key on/off several times did. Port is the same, SB idle about 42 psi, key ON 49 psi This time I used a clear plastic container to catch all the bleed gas instead of catching in a rag, the gas was a bit yellow. Might be telling me...

    Need aluminum gas tank fitting recommendations

    No, the float and sensor inside the tank which is connected to the fuel gauge Yes so it doesn't pick up debris, the tank will shrink and expand with temp changes.

    Appreciate it Depending on what it takes to redo the pattern, I'm not sure it would be worth it giving it more though. The entire deck has a very thin coat of Gel so it would take a complete redo to make it even worth doing, otherwise it would be patching a spots yearly.

    Forgot the pic but does look like Gibco G4 103 pattern. That said this is really thin, and most folks that buy these boats get Seadeck and now I see why. I thought it was going to be like my formula and would be easy cleaning. So much for thinking on my part
