The two tanks in the engine compartment are water tanks. My boat F28-1979 holds 60 gallons of water. That is according to the boat survey that I had done.

I have had good luck with Doug Russell Marine in Wocester and 1-800-runs -likenew. But you can also find some local deals if you look aro...

Do the motors run ? Or are you wanting to replace them due to age and uncerteinty of their condition. I r...

Good luck ! I keep my F28 in the North Shore- Newburyport Ma. All boats that run and float are good boats. This looks like a fun project.

My port side motor would not turn over due to a dead battery.( My wife had left everything on for several days when she had been on the boat hiding, pretending to be at work using her lap top and enjoying the day.) I used the ...

I had my F28 shipped from St Clair Shore Michigan to Newington NH. The marina out in Michigan charged me $2800.00 to remove and label the flybridge. It was not a hard job putting it back on. I had the marina in NH put the structure back on with a fork lift $50.00 and then I did the rest. It took me ...

I took pictures but I can't get them on this page. The black box is in my engine compartment. It has two red resets on it and both of my batteries hook into it on opposite sides. I then have my two power leads that go to my solenoids on each motor. My boat survey guy did say that it was part of my e...

He said that the box has a high rate of failure and that it could cause problems. Is there any away to isolate my boat systems (refrig., light ect)from my starting batteries. I'm not always on a dock with shore power and I don't want to sacrafice starting power if I can avoid it.
Thanks

The little Black Box

What does the little black electrical box do. I know that it works some what like a battery switch. The boat surveyer told me that I should take it out and put in a regular battery switch. Has anyone done this and if you have how is it done. (should I really do this?)
Thanks
