Hi all - New to boating, so forgive my simple questions
I recently purchased a 1987 2757 Montego, twin Alpha 180?s. She?s in great shape, having been stored up for the last few years, now just needing some TLC. I had her tuned and prepped, and she?s been in the water this summer, now I need help in understanding some of the basic operations of the boat.
Head ? While filling the gas tanks, I attempted to get the head vacuumed but no draw occurred. I know the head holding tank was empty while the boat was being stored . The head was since utilized and I know the holding tank was at least ? full. Perhaps during storage, something was closed that does not allow me to draw off the waste?? Also, please tell me why there is a shut off valve leading to an alternative exit port immediately prior to the waste exit port on the starboard side. Is this a vent port? Is there another vent somewhere that I need to open?
Camper top ? She has a full camper top, and I was wondering how or if this can be converted to a bimini top?
Water heater ? do they normally bypass the water heater while the boat is kept in storage? I am wondering if I should re hook this heater up to see if it works?
