    Need towing advice

    Towing 400 miles is a big deal, you didn't mention if the route is all flat freeway or bumpy mountain roads or what you're towing with. I wouldn't do it without the proper trailer and tow vehicle but that's me.

    Fuel Starvation?

    Is the vent system clear? Try running the motor with the gas cap open. Does it run if you squeeze the primer bulb?

    Anyone use a 2017 kia Sorrento AWD/4wd high output engine?

    I'd be more concerned with stopping than being able to tow the boat.

    2012 F20 Starts, But Putters Out Quickly

    I had the same problem with my lawnmower. It would only run while I'm pushing the primer bulb. The problem was the carb bowl gasket, causing the carb to suck air after running for a few seconds then dieing. Have you checked all of the gaskets? The problem doesn't sound like an issue with sand in...

    12v Motorguide keeps frying switches.

    Good you found the issue. Is the bolt connecting the neg cable the proper bolt? Maybe it's just the way it looks in the picture but it looks like a screw thru a nut securing the cable.

    12v Motorguide keeps frying switches.

Also are the switches all rated for DC? Also make sure all wire connections are clean, bright and shiny new. Your battery should...

    Impeller Failure Help

    If you're unsure of the current condition of the impeller change it out. I've been told by a mechanic to run the motor every once in awhile to keep the impeller wet and flexible and to prevent it from drying out.
