    Combatting Water/Damp Conditions inside of boat?

    I have owned 3 Regals and have friends that have also owned multiple Regals ,none with that issue.You are either not covering your boat properly or maybe not covering it at all.Try a fan on 24/7 .Charlie

    Water stains

    I dont think any of us need 30 gallons.Lysol bowl cleaner is much closer in composition to Marykate On-off and is in a gel form which is much more effective for what needs to be clean by staying on the fouled areas without dripping off immediately.My $5 goes for 2 bottles of Lysol 10x toilet...

    Engine sneezes on start, runs for a few on idle, then shuts off

    Sorry I should have been more specific about the plugs.After a proper decarb ,which is the process of spraying Seafoam into each cylinder and letting sit for 30 mins or so and starting motor which will look like a crop duster.When smoke clears repeat the process and as soon as you start the...

    Engine sneezes on start, runs for a few on idle, then shuts off

    Change out primer bulb.Shouldnt be any fuel outside the bulb.The inside flapper may be shot in it as well.I would recommend you get 2 cans of Seafoam.1 aerosol and 1 pour type can.Do a proper decarb with the aerosol.Do it on a warm engine.After that,Hook up portable gas tank with super...

    Water stains

    MaryKate on-off is the best at $29 a bottle.Lysol 2x toilet bowl cleaner $2.99 works 2nd best but at the savings you can do it twice.I use the Lysol.No rubbing or scrubbing needed.Charlie

    Water in the bilge

    Really??? an entire 1/2 ounce of water?? I am gonna guess you are a first time boater.....just a guess.Keep better track of your ice cubes when having a beverage because you are apparently dropping one EVERY TIME....btw .you should taste it to make sure its water to play it safe.Charlie

    At Wit's End--Yamaha F225 stalling out

    You "checked" the fuel water sep.....If you removed it ,you should have replaced it.If the vst was as dirty as you stated then that is telling you something.....I have never seen one as dirty as you stated. Did you replace fuel pumps??? I had same issue and replaced everything you have mentioned...

    Need a New battery ,got more for less at Wallyworld....I think

    The best batteries I have encountered were made by Fiat for Chrysler corp.They were in the recent Dart and some of the Jeeps.I worked in a dealership and the service dept would tow in Darts and Jeeps for non starting problems.The 1st thing the service techs would do is replace the battery prior...

    Need a New battery ,got more for less at Wallyworld....I think

    I have had ZERO luck with any interstate battery I have ever owned .Every one has failed in less than 5 years with absolutely no warning at all.Cranking on Monday and dead on Tuesday.If Interstate batteries were half price on sale I would still take a pass on them.Charlie

    This battery is by far the heaviest I have ever lifted.Waaaay heavier than a group 27 that it is replacing.

    Need a New battery ,got more for less at Wallyworld....I think

    Had to replace battery to crank a Mercruiser V8 and need a deep cycle/starting.I have had extremely good luck with Walmart batteries in any of my vehicles.I was prepared to get a group 27 with 775 mca for approx $100.Then I came across a group 29 with 865 mca that was a little less$$ .Its a very...

    f90 stalled twice this evening

    Its not the bend in the line.Change fuel water sep.Check the fuel that you poured out of the sep after it sits for an hour or so .You cannot tell if there is any water immediately.The old fuel will separate into layers.Change the fuel filter as well.If same issue, change out the fuel...

    Trying to decide between 3 older boats!

    I would hold off and KEEP LOOKING.Plenty of boats in your range for sale. Outboard is preferable,slow your roll and keep looking.Nothing of interest in what you have posted.Charlie
