My info maybe dated , but I have heard the inter-coastal in NJ is not in that great of shape with a lot of shallows . But it may have changed . I would check with waterway guide .

^^^ this. And thehulltruth for current local knowledge.

I doubt the sensors work. Lifespan is a question for the mfgr., but i see no reason to not replace them outright. Consider the cost of not replacing them, and to have them be needed......

And I am loaded with carbon due to excessive cruising at 1500.

How do you know?

Like most boat repairs/maintenance/upgrades that really matter, this is one that makes the boat safer, and one that no guest will notice...... Good trick with the coupling nuts. Similar trick when adding a new wire inside an existing "occupied" conduit: tie two wires to an existing one. Use existing...

Can you switch fuel sources in the engine room? Would rule out anti-siphon valve and maybe (some, not necessariliy all) filter issues. I had erratic rpm issues and it was due to tired distributor springs. Are you sure it is related to temperature? That said, i have seen ignition coils and resistors ...

I have a promariner 12-40p. No problems in 5 years, thus no customer service experience. You might consider a dual-purpose charger-inverter. But do your homework first re: battery capacity needed to support inverter. I went separate inverter 'cuz i replaced charger first, then wanted inverter. But m...

I believe the batteries are always put in parallel when starting the engines and the emergency start switch is actually a backup system in case the rectifier that parallels the batteries fails. Or when youre in a bad way and you need to combine the batts to transmit a mayday. IIRC, my manual indica...

Welcome!

Lots of good info here, and a robust "search" feature too.

Good use of materials. I’ve never seen bamboo used on a boat, but it looks great.

Agree. One thing about bamboo is that it's termite proof.

If you don't have a gas/water separator in your fuel system, adding one would be a good idea. We use Racor's 320 series filters with an aluminum bowl that you can periodically check to see if water has been captured. Have you found a gasoline-rated vacuum gauge to accompany them? They have them for...

Additives that remove water don't do much best to pump the water out of the bottom of the tank . Also look at the check valves at the tank fitting . As far as the gauges go it sounds like the senders and the gauges are not compatible . Bought me one of these to remove water from the tank. Pumped ab...

Do stick around Big D. You are a valuable asset.
