    Engine miss/hesitation

    We used fuel stabilizer over the winter so did not even think about bad gas. Went and pulled a couple gallons of gas out, basically idled over to the gas dock - about 1/4 mile outside the no wake zone, put 20 gallons of gas in. Voilà. I ran for a few minutes at about 2000 rpm, then opened her...

    Engine miss/hesitation

    Took the boat out today. She started right up, no issues at idle or making my way through the no wake zone. When I went to open her up she kind of hesitated then took off but then started hesitating and it felt almost like running out of gas (power/no power/power/no power) - 1/2 tank of gas...

    What are you doing today?

    My wife is pressing me to move out of state. Where are you headed if you don't mind me asking? I told her "if" we move it will be my last so better be a great state to live/retire in.

    Labor day weekend

    We went out yesterday as we try to avoid the actual "holiday" day as it gets crowded and people get crazy. Ended up being on the water only a couple hours as the craziness started early...Not to mention I had to travel today for work :(

    Dead Radio

    Out with the old and in with the new. Was pretty much plug and play with the exception of some of the wires were to short to reach the back of the new radio, but luckily there was some slack that I was able to gain by unscrewing the wire bundles from the wall. Going back tomorrow with a drill...

    Dead Radio

    So I grabbed a few min from work and ran up to the boat. There is nothing that I can see wired to the battery. The back of the radio has three fuses. 1 purple on a yellow wire. 1 blue on a yellow wire. 1 black on a red wire. If I pull the blue fuse and plug back in I can hear power getting...

    Dead Radio

    Last week the radio was fine, today wouldn't even turn on. I checked connections, fuses, etc. The controls at the helm and swim deck also do not have power. Everything else on boat works fine. Any thoughts on what else to check. It's the original Clarion that came with the boat from 2013...
