Having experienced heavy fog on the Maine coast, I see there are two important elements. You need to know where you are. This is obtained with radar or GPS. You need to know where everyone else is. This is obtained via radar and to some degree AIS. In my local waters in Casco Bay, Maine, some local ...

On 2 of my 3 boat trailers I have modified the tongues to allow the trailer to set further down the ramp or keep the tow vehicle from making contact with the salt water. On my Royal branded galvanized trailer I purchased a stock tongue that was longer at a local trailer supply house. I removed the e...

Phil T

The stowing of the mast and not using the GPS was stupid. Transiting waters in darkness without all navigation lights working is stupid. Transiting waters with large commercial traffic in dense fog without AIS and/or radar is asking for it. The pilot deserves to loose his certificate. What a maroon!

While the original Igloo Marine 86-quart cooler is not available, the current 94-quart model is what you are looking for. It has the same width and length. The lid is taller, hence the volume increase. If you have rod holder cushions, install the new cooler with the hinges facing forward so that ope...

Phil T

I presume you have already inspected the entire fuel supply system from the draw tube to the engine fuel filter, replacing all hoses, clamps, primer bulbs, water separator filter and verified the engine (2-stroke or EFI) is able to reach WOT throttle? Q3: Did you test the engine on a separate fuel t...

Boston Whaler refers to the console roll-up door as a Tambor door. Here is a response from Boston Whaler that was posted to a separate thread on the same topic in 2014: Unfortunately, the manufacturer that had originally produced the roll up door on the console of the 19 II Outrage has since gone ou...

The subject of older 13-footers needing a 15-inch-shaft engine has been discussed countless times. If you do not select a short shaft (15-inch) then a long shaft (20-inch) will require you either install a bracket or install an insert to fill in the notch. There are several options, including: Trans...

Sorry. Not a Boston Whaler.

SV may be describing the sea state using terms that others would not use.

The word "wave" can sometimes be used to describe a "swell".

Phil T

Yes.

My friend Joel was nice enough to share the wood drawing. Attached.

The standard 86qt cushion (now redesigned and taller 94qt) and the rod holder cushions are still available in OEM fabric and colors from Andersons. http://www.amfg.us . Call or email Tena. The rod back cushions install on the optional rod holders. If you do not have them, you can either fabricate th...

Keep in mind the Whaler testing is not easy to replicate. As the report http://bostonwhaler.com.s3.amazonaws.com/resources/200-Dauntless-Performance-2011.pdf shows, the boat is empty, 38 gallons of fuel, no gear, 2 people, no bottom paint, anchor, chain, rode, fenders. Water temp was 77 and in prote...

Nick - Yes, the Outrage 18 has a maximum hp rating of 150. Keep in mind the Guardian 18 is a bit heavier.

While I know there are members with a Outrage 18's with 115hp off California I think there will be moments when you will want the torque/displacement of a 150hp.

Just one person's opinion.

Phil T

Boat prices in CA are a bit over the top. The Guardian 18 is a bit underpowered. The shipping makes it totally impractical.

I know a Outrage 17 II owner in Hawaii (not sure which island) and he loves his.

Phil T

Don't be upset if they say no.

If you are looking for OEM, skip the DIY and order cushions from the only ones who have the OEM materials and craftsmanship, Anderson's.

Derigging at the console is the prevailing way. You can shift the console forward rather than remove it from the boat.

Phil T

I used the same diameter screw, just added length. #14 (1/4") flat head stainless screws with a fender washer on the top for a clean look.

Phil T

While the winch cable pulls the boat tight, another important piece of hardware is the bow stop and its position in relation to the bow eye. The bow roller should be touching the top of the bow eye. When the boat is winched, if the bow wanted to move up, the eye would be blocked by the roller. On ol...

Remember that propeller characteristics are not universal across brands and models.

I think you need a different propeller.

BobL what is the make, model, and size of your four-blade?

Phil T

I think you may be going a bit too heavy handed. If the backing material is new and adhered to to the deck skin, no special measures are necessary. On my Montauk I built 6" risers based on the design by Finnegan, aka, LHG using composite lumber. I screwed the first blocks into the floor using t...

Phil T

The tank diagram orientation is upper right is the stern, lower left is the bow. The vent hose is the smaller one that connects to the middle of the tank. Note item 11, the vent flap in the fitting. The integrated vent is due in part to EPA regs as well as economics. Every boat has some "isim's...

Phil T

This is not unheard of for several models. I don't recall the Montauk 170 II having it though. Typically the culprit is the attitude of the boat is resulting in blocking the vent. I would take the advice and have weight placed in the bow. Also take a look at the vent. It could be clogged or slightly...

Phil T

Typically, a failure of the fastening of the RPS or the console to the deck of a 16'7 or 17' hull is due to either a) the plywood backing material rotting as a result of moisture due to the lack of, or failure of, the marine sealant or 2) shear forces that exceed the rating of the fastener and subst...

Phil T

The 1987 Catalog specifications index lists 900 lbs. If your plate is different I think it due to adjustments to the finished weight of the boat being slightly different. I would not be concerned. It is only 15 lbs. Remember that the classic models were truly "hand made" without the aid of...

Phil T

Can you take a photo from the side showing the engine mounting and a straight edge (use a rake handle or other straight object) on the keel extending past the engine?

It is reading as if you have a extra long shaft motor (25") when a long (20") is standard.

Phil T

What happens when you are trimmed out? Does the bow settle down and speed increase?

It is appropriate to "trim out" every time you are above planing speed. The amount of trim depends on speed and load distribution.

Phil T

I don't have any prop suggestions on my owner recommended sheet so I am interested in your evaluation process.

Phil T

For evaluating moisture content, I do the following Look at every through hull and the O rings on each side. Look for sealant on bolt holes. Should be excess gobs by overzealous underpaid yard guy. Inspect hull for gouges Inspect deck for floor seams with no sealant. Look for rust seepage, a sign of...

Phil T

The engine is currently mounted three-holes-up. The AV plate is dead even with the bottom of the hull. I have read it should be higher. I think you may not have that right. When we refer to "holes up", this is referencing how many empty holes are above the top bolt. Top set of bolts: 0 <-...

Phil T

The black "insert" is slid into the white "receiver".

The navigation lamp wiring is in the gap between the two.

Phil T

I would replace whatever you have with a Perko removable stern light and find a used stern light bracket set.

Phil T

Mas - As I read it, you are missing the roller and the bow is either hitting the frame, bracket or broken roller. In a recent visit to see Henry aka Yidil, I noted his factory supplied trailer for his Nantucket/190 Outrage only included a single roller and a pad. I suggest you add rollers so that yo...

Given the history of use with the boat, I would proffer that you have a leak in the existing O ring on the fuel gauge plate (direct read or remote) or it is missing in its entirety. If there was a leak in the tank you would see a sheen of fuel on the water you removed from the boat. If there was a l...

Phil T

I recall 1/2 a dozen V-22 owners who have installed a drain from the fuel tank cavity into the rear bait/fish well.

Several solutions were completed including: installing brass drain tube (most popular), sealed the tunnel with epoxy or installed pvc tube (thin wall, not schedule 40)

Phil T

More important than a fuel filter is treating your fuel with a stabilizer product at every fill-up. Sta-bil and all engine manufacturer's have a branded product. Take your pick. A fuel filter is recommended if you frequent marina's, floating fuel docks, barge fuel stations or a land based fuel stati...

Phil T

Your dealer is not helping you very well. The motor is rated with a WOT range of 5-6,000 rpm. Note that propeller size and performance is not universal across models or brands. It is highly doubtful an Eco 21" with perform the same as a different model in the same size. I agree with you Nick, a...

Welome to the Outrage 17 family. We are a small but proud and scrappy bunch. I owned a 1991 for 7 years and now have a 1992. Given it is a single crack I would discount it as a stress crack caused by movement in the transom and proffer that it is a result of age and an over application of gelcoat in...

Boston Whaler produced the early hulls truly by hand. Finished weights varied significantly boat to boat until the adoption of computers, foam injector machines and other modern manufacturing processes. How the boat sits in the water is a good indicator of general condition. If it sits, fully rigged...

You will need to cut out the broken portion, build a wooden form for the missing bit, grind the the fiberglass back and rebuilt both sides and the gunnel cap. Once done, pour 4lb foam in the cavity. You will need a sprue hole for the excess to escape then cover and spray gelcoat. It is important to ...

Fred -

[edit - deleted non-applicable information given due to misreading the initial post.]

For the specific gas strut, I would give Sue a call at Twin Cities or reach out to Nauset Marine.

P.S. I take it you are away from your boat and can't look at what you have.

Phil T

The starboard side is original.

The only source for replacements that I am aware of is http://www.specialtymarine.com/BOSTON-WHALER-STAND-OFF-STANCHION-BACKING-PLATE-p153.html

I doubt they will match OEM so you may want to replace both and keep the original just in case.

Phil T

The beam on both boats is NOT the same.

The 235 has a beam of 8'6".

The 255 has a beam of 8'9"

You would really need to measure closely.
