Its more likely you have a small air leak in the sims filter or someplace in that general location. Just enough to let the fuel back away from that last bleed screw.. This will usually only happen if your fuel tank level is below your injector pump. If you can next time turn the tank valve off...

If I read your post correctly you have 10-15K extra if you purchase the boat at 26K? So you have around 35-40K total? If so I personally would not buy this boat. If the motors and transmissions are in excellent shape I agree offering 12.5-15K max might be worth it, but your still taking on...

With epoxy you want warm temps like 75f to not have bubbles. Torch will work to pop but wont get them out of suspension. You have to babysit it for hours. Have you considered coring, screws and bungs to hold the deck down where its lifting? I don't see a deck in your picks just floor. The floor...

I have both 0183 and 2000 on two boats. Using a converter from 0183 to 2000 is plug and play. 2000 and SeaTalkNG on everything would be ideal, but I have some older nice electronics that I like. SeaTalkNG is real convenient from a connection and wiring standpoint with the power and 2000 combined...

There is absolutely positively no such thing as a free boat. The ones that say free are typically the most expensive and the least enjoyable. :)

I just did the same in a couple places. The fast charge on both is extremely useful for the iPad and phones. I do wonder if its hard on the battery's in these devices sometimes - if anyone has an answer Id like to hear it. The white usb 120v adapter provided with the phones takes around 2/3 more...

My advice is also whatever you decide on buy it now and in 3 years you will be ready to go :)

I found the worst part about the setup is the boom. I took it off and I like my boat a lot more without the boom in the way all the time.

There are a lot of settings that if they are turned way down or up you might not get a hit on anything. If you can find a factory reset you might try that. Make sure you have all your waypoints ext saved first though. The cable has more then just power pins its got the transmit pins and the...

You should have three or four sensitivity type settings they help with the preciseness your probably on the moat sensitive try one of the others. I think its like Power, Pleasure, Tug, ext or something like that. Put it on the least precise setting for a big slow boat and see if that helps, it...

On mine after it warms up I have to push the power button, then another button for it to transmit otherwise it just sits there like yours is doing. Kind of strange operation on my C120 so make sure you read the ops manual you might just need to push a button. If not what David said about the...

The inverters with the built in transfer relay are simple. You can put them in line with your breaker and its fairly easy setup. Shore power cuts out it switch's over automatically and your good to go. There well under 1K and will work correctly. Its not hard to do yourself if you read the...

Unlike those in the vid at least wear a life jacket.

Inverter is a magnum and it has built in transfer relays for power and ground. The isolator is connected on the ground coming out of the inverter before going to the ground bar for the boat. That ground is only connected when on shore power. The inverter is connected to the main panel breaker...

Thanks for the info on the switch. All I really desire is the ability to bypass the inverter in the event it breaks down or I need to replace it ext. Currently I’d be doing a lot of wire work to retain shore power if the inverters transfer relay was not working. The simple 3 way rotary will do...

Is there a bypass switch you can recommend?

No I do not but considering putting one in place.

My main concern was the inverter and it’s transfer relay. When reading the manual it indicates three wires into its block from shore power and two only hot and neutral coming out. You then connect the ground to a different screw on the inverter that then goes to the boats ground. What was...

Thank you all for the answers. I’m going to leave it where it’s at. It’s great to have confirming feedback to help with reinforcing even a professionals opinion. There’s no other boat connection to the inverter, so the isolator will remain before the boat panels connection. Moving it closer...

I'm wanting to know the correct place for my galvanic isolator when using an inverter. Very straight forward setup: Shore powers going to the inverter with built in transfer relay and breakers. From there it goes out to the main panels 30 amp breaker. Currently the galvanic isolator is on the...

First it was survey for ins. Then I asked a friend who is CG res. and he said yes we "like" to see that on all vessels. My point is some things that are in there (com, rec whatever) are easy to do, so why not just do it the way they like to see it done? This is one of those things for me...

Not sure if its law, but its in the CFR. I was informed they want to see two clamps at the through hull. This is what I see may not pertain to rec boats but whatever.. (B) Flexible hose designed for use with hose clamps may be installed with two clamps, at both ends of the hose, which: (1) Do...

From my understanding the Coast Guard is enforcing two on any through hull. If your boat sinks and its due to a single hose clamp on your through hull good luck getting an insurance settlement. Someone I know at the marina had their sail boat flood/sink due to a 3/4" through hull hose clamp...

Westiculo thank you that does look great. I hadn't thought too much about this option. My concern with my boat anyways is the vibration and movement with the grout probably cracking. The product you are using looks to address that though. Stick down tiles would be an option, but I haven't found...

The fiddles actually have me on hold trying to figure out what to do about them. I don't think I can remove them without breaking them. Still trying to figure out what to do. Seems there's a can of worms just waiting to be opened. I like the epoxy coat idea but its not an easy way out due to the...
