Thanks! I ended up getting off the fuel filter with a chain/strap wrench and lots of prayer. Fun thing to do on a hot morning in July! But it was a beautiful Door County day for a cruise afterwards.

Tell the mechanic thst put it on that!

Update: bent 2 oil filter wrenches trying to get it off. Even brought some muscle down and neither one of them could budge it either. I have chain strap that I am going to try next but part of me wants the mechanic who put this on to take it off! We did start the engine and it ran fine for 5 minutes...

Thanks Capts...think you are right. Filter is locked on, bent 2 wrenches already. Vapor locked? It aint moving!

Ran 30 miles, anchored for 2 hours and beat it back in 3-5' waves. Port engine sputtered and quit. Ran for awhile on starboard engine and it started only just to quit. Gas was down to 1/4 tank (i had a 1\2 which was half new gas and half from who knows when). Got it to gas dock on 1 engine (thank yo...

I lock my cabin but still have the fly bridge on my F32. Mmmm

That sucks! Where are your key ignition? I just have ignition switches????

It was the batteries...port engine would not start again for our Father's Day cruise. Ran down to Walmart and bought 2 new ones and she fired right up (after I figured out it is important to have ALL the wired connected!). Had a great day on the water, docked like a pro at a resort but kind of muffe...

Above is the red switch which appears to turn on the charger

I think I need a primer in shore power and the manual does not really help with this. Our F32 is now in her slip and plugged into shore power. I turned the red switch on to charge the batteries since one was low and would not start the port engine. Everything worked. 3 days later I turned the charge...

Just got mine in the mail...I admit to questioning the price but now see how it worth every penny. Heck it even has the orginal invoice! Very cool and VERY helpful. I highly recommend!

Found the bilge bump under the step and carpet. It was stuck and works now! Thanks for the advice!!!!!

Many thanks Capt!

Thanks, I will look again but so far have only been able to lift up the floor panel and under the V-Berth.
So, water sitting in there is normal and will be gone once we are underway?
