    4.3 diesling

    I know it's a thing. I just haven't heard it suggested in about 30 years.

    Fusion radio flaky & freezing up

    Thank you. And to reiterate: sometimes it works fine. Nothing is burned out (like an internal regulator circuit). It just does this quite allot and requires I remove the fuse to reset it. A major PITA. This is the 2nd Fusion radio to act like this so my assumption is there's something not...

    May I practice this on your car first?

    Fusion radio flaky & freezing up

    I replaced the old JVC am-fm-cd radio in my 2000 Bayliner with a Fusion MS-RA70 so I could have Bluetooth and a brighter display. I love this radio but it keeps intermittently freezing on the "Fusion" screen on power-up and I have to pull the fuse to get it to respond again. It will also reset...

    4.3 diesling

    I'm now stopping & letting it idle for a minute before shutting off. No dieseling. I'm running ordinary 87 or 89 pump gas. No marina on my 600 ac lake and not many stations in a reasonable distance. It's ½hr drive to closest station with non-ethanol gas but it's $1+ more per gallon and I see...

    How/where do I find part numbers?

    👍 I like that.

    4.3 diesling

    It might just be that. It's normal? It doesn't diesel after I idle back to my dock. Only out on the lake when I shut it down after cruising awhile, or running hard.

    How/where do I find part numbers?

    The sender I received today looks identical to the stainless one rolmops linked to in an earlier reply. I swapped it in and tested the float/gauge operation before mounting it in the tank. Gauge now responds smooth & linear to float movement. Tank depth is 7.5" from gasket to bottom of tank...

    4.3 diesling

    2000 Bayliner Capri 1850LX 4.3L carbureted engine, A1 G2 outdrive. Only had this boat for 10 days so far. Starts right up, runs smooth... In fact during the test drive I was surprised to see a carb & a distributer on it. No hour meter so I have no idea how many hours. It's pretty clean & this...

    Merc Alpha One trim/tilt Q (feeling like a newby)

    Thanks for the practical feedback. This has been a real PITA for me. I have muck mats on that side of my dock and when I lower the unit to the top of the normal trim limit it's still low enough that the skeg has impaled the mat. Boat isn't going anywhere with a 4X12 trampoline attached to it...

    Let's talk skill...

    Having lived my entire life in the Detroit area northern Michigan is a great place to spend retirement. It's everything Detroit isn't--clean, quiet, thinly populated, no traffic, peaceful lakes.

    I think I'll take a pass on mounting a trolling motor here.

    How/where do I find part numbers?

    The manual link is to a small supplement to the OM. The actual manual isn't available *anywhere*.

    Deep V runabout, bowrider.

    Let's talk skill...

    I probably don't have the luxury of docking this way. My lake is pretty shallow at my dock so I have to trim full up when I get close to keep from stirring up the muck. I usually shut it down and drift in till the lower leg drags, then I hop off and walk it to the dock. Doesn't look cool...

    How/where do I find part numbers?

    Hmmm. Most the ones I looked at... Sierra, Seasense, etc on Amazon, eBay or most parts websites were 240-33ohms. I ordered one from Amazon that came up when I searched UFW-6.5. I found this same sensor (with clearer markings) used on similar sized & powered boats. For $30 I'll find out at the...

    How/where do I find part numbers?

    Well if senders are kinda universal then maybe the smudged marking on it reads UMW 6½ And there are 6.5 senders. Should work? This forum won't let me attach a photo.

    How/where do I find part numbers?

    2000 Bayliner 1850LX. I need a fuel level sender so I don't get stranded in the middle of the lake again. Where do I find part numbers for stuff in & on the boat itself? Engine stuff--no problem. Outdrive--no problem. I can't find squat on hull parts. Clue me in where to look.

    I agree... There should be. But there isn't.
