Yes, seriously. What dealer? This is a 25 year old boat. Not sure if you are new here, but plenty of people refurb and rebuild boats, which is why I asked.

I currently have 4 6-gallon tanks on my pontoon boat, and I'd like to install a larger tank with a fuel sender. I'm looking at something like this - https://www.ebay.com/itm/19-Gallon-Top-Feed-Aluminum-Fuel-Cell-Gas-Tank-Level-Sender-Cap-Black-Coated/362518788376 Couple questions - This will...

Don't use regular plywood. And you don't want to use treated plywood because the copper in it reacts with the aluminum on the boat. What I used on my previous 16' boat was birch plywood. You want to use the birch because it doesn't have voids in it like regular plywood, so it won't compress or...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Parker-Racor-660R-RAC-01-660R10-Fuel-Water-Separator-10-Micron-w-Heater-Option/233183938607 So a $120 Racor for $30. Just looks a little different because its mil-surp.

Thanks everyone for your advice. Today I took the new fuel pump off and was going to install the old one, and noticed that I had not transferred over the seal from the old pump to the new one that seals the pump against the crankcase.

No Fuel Injection, it has carbs.

Yes, they are the special hose zipties, I bought them at a marina. Yes, its ran on muffs. I didn't realize running it up to higher RPMs on the hose was dangerous, I'll avoid it from now on. I've tried multiple tanks, and I finally tried just taking the tank fitting of the fuel line and...

I've removed the fitting from the end of the fuel hose and stuck it directly down into the fuel and tried running it that way with the same result.

I asked over on thehulltruth as well, but I figured I should ask here too since there are some very talented mechanics here. 1999 Mercury 50 ELPT 4 stroke. I started with replacing all of the hose clamps with the zip tie style clamps I purchased from a local marina. Started it up, still...

Not sure if you guys have heard of him. Vic Coomer lures are a staple here in Ohio. He makes all sorts of plastic lures and other stuff. I was car shopping with my dad and an older sales guy walked past and his name tag said "Vic Coomer". I was like....wait, was that the fishing guy? Sales guy...

The coils test good, but so does everything else. The motor starts acting up when hot. Idles fine with cold, won't idle when hot. Which again, makes me think coils are going bad as they get hot. I had ordered replacement coils, but they came today and its the wrong danged part. So i bit the...

Well I agree Force aren't the best, this one does have the Merc lower unit and electronics, so its not that bad.

I bought a 1996 Pontoon with a 1996 Force 40hp engine. When I first took it out, it ran like crap. I took it home and took the carb off of it it cleaned it thoroughly and replaced the spark plugs. I also installed a tell-tale and put in a new water impeller. I took it out again. It ran much...

Wife and I decided to sell our camper. We had a 24' Travel Trailer. We just realized we weren't using it nearly enough, only once this year. We burnt ourselves out on doing local trips with it, the campgrounds are full of nothing but people partying non-stop. For longer trips, we realized after...

I'm renting a house next week on a canal in Florida near the ocean. In the reviews on the airbnb site where I rented it, one was a very negative review. The guy was really angry that at low tide he couldn't get his large boat down the canal and to the house. It was stated in the ad that it was...

Because those are the anchors I have that I got cheap at a flea market, haha. Danforth bites better, the mushroom just keeps my ass end from spinning around in circles. Typically a pound per foot of length of your boat, for an anchor.

Not a golfer. I've tried, just couldn't get into knocking a little ball around a field in the heat. We'll definitely be checking out the fort. I looked at the alligator park online, it looks fairly expensive for being pretty small and not having much more in the way of alligators than the...

I use a danforth and if I want to anchor the transom end as well I use a mushroom.

Headed to St. Augustine the end of July with the family. We were going to go to Canada, but my wife has OCD and has been freaking out about the border crossing for some reason. (Even though we've crossed before without issue). I think she was worried about taking the boat over the border. So...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-250_Submarine 350 foot max depth. Damn. Would be cool to check out some lakes, but I personally couldn't do it. I am barely comfortable on my boat, theres no way I could go under water.
