I just obtained a new Lenco trim tab kit with indicator switches for a good price. I'm going to install them this weekend. I've been reading all the post about this and hope it all goes as planned. Looking forward to no more tilt to Port when underway!

I have a 1988 Revenge Wt 20 and it sits on a roller trailer. It has 20 rollers. I replaced the original black ones with polyurethane ones two years ago. They work and hold up great. No marks of any kind on boat hull and no depressions of any kind.

I haven't retested the JB Marine Welded tank as of yet. I put the used one in and it works like it should and doesn't leak. I will put the repaired one back in before I put it away for the winter and post back.

floater

I heated the cracked area with a heat gun until it got soft and then I applied the polyethylene. I didn't want to heat the tank any more than that for fear of making the hole any bigger.

I bought a used remote oil tank from aocal marina for $25. I just needed to clean out all the Opti Oil and it was good to go. I reground out the patch on the old tank and used JB Marine Weld this time around. I drilled either end of the crack and then used two coats. I will keep this tank as a back ...

Thanks for the Tip Jefencinco. I went out and after about ten minutes the repair started seeping oil below the patch. Looks like it managed to squeeze out beyond the crack and slip under the patch. It wasn't too bad and I was able to go about my day fishing. I took another look when I got back home ...

Tomorrow will tell as I'm taking it out for spin to be sure. THanks

Motor is a 1991 Mercury 200. I fixed [the crack in the oil tank] today. I removed and drained the tank, and then cleaned the outside. I roughly sanded the area around the crack. I lit a piece of polyethylene tubing on fire and it dripped like a candle. I filled the crack and surrounding area. Let it...

When I was washing the Revenge today ,I notice a blue spray of oil on the starboard side where I have the remote oil tank mounted. After checking all the lines and caps, I noticed a 2-inch crack in the side of the oil tank about an inch from the top. I've been pricing out a replacement tank and afte...

I'm in the process of researching Trim Tabs for my 1988 Revenge 20 WT. The boat has a severe list to port with one other person on board. With two or more extra people it's listing almost to the gunwales. I've tried moving people around but it still has this list to port. I do have a 15 h four strok...

On my Uflex system I have a knob on the top of the steering unit where the wheel mounts too. I can check the level there.

Just ordered mine up here in Canada. Can't wait thanks.

Last year, I had 200-litres of fuel contaminated with water. I acquired some empty deep-fryer oil jugs, filled them up, and took it all to the local dump's Household Hazardous waste section. They took it all in one load! This year I had 100-litres of gasoline contaminated with water. I let the mixtu...

Thanks quickenberger. I have one of their catalogues and I totally forgot to check there!

I found some small plastic washers and "o" rings today at a Big Box Store. They were the perfect fit for my access plate. http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o316/sterios/bolt_zpss8ayeks8.jpg I used both the 'o' ring and washer in the hopes that the washer would squish the 'o' ring enough t...

You can substitute 'duty' for exchange rate! My mistake.

[The border that the fuel tank manufactured in the USA has to cross is the] Canadian border. I made some gaskets today out of the Felpro rubber cork sheet. Some funnels were the perfect size for cutting the sheet. <a href="http://s123.photobucket.com/user/sterios/media/ring_zpskoi9euo4.png.html...

I pulled the floor today. I removed the vent hose, from the fitting on the port side, and blew into it till it wouldn't take any more. I partially filled the cavity, added soap, and then covered the surface with soapy water as well. The only place I saw bubbles was right on top of the access hatch f...

I asked two fabricators for a price and both were $2300. And to get a new FMT was US-$1500 shipped to the border. After tax and duty it was almost as much as the fabricator's tank. I'm back to red portable tanks [until] I get this figured out. They are okay to use. I only use about 13-liters with th...

floater

Nope. They told me they tested the tank prior to me making this gasket but I don't see how they could have. When I took it in there the woman running the place made all kinds of promises and failed to keep them all. I looked inside the tank when they were done and If there was any aluminum welding d...

Today I took out my 1988 Revenge 20 W-T for a test run. I put in 50-litres of fresh mid-grade gasoline, along with some SeaFoam and fuel stabilizer. The outboard engine ran well for about 10 minutes, then died--just like it did last year when I had a load of water in the tank. I hooked up the spare ...

floater

On my 88 Revenge WT 20 I too had water in the tank that stalled both engines. In my case the only thing I could find was the gasket for the fuel pickup plate had corroded and had a split in it. Every time it rained more water would leak into the tank. The tank did have some crevice corrosion on it b...

[Infers that the problem is due to failure of the plastic drive gear for the oil mixing pump, and says it is a] common problem with these Mercury motors. You can switch to mixing your gas and oil and save on the rebuild. On my engine (200-HP} [the drive shaft] is aluminum, accessible, [being driven ...

I tried several auto parts stores and no luck. All the parts they had either had 'caps' on the ends or were to skinny. I found that they are called Double End xmas tree retainer clips. Looks like I can order them on Amazon. Thanks guys

floater

Not sure what they are called but on either side of the boat near the helm, on my 1988 Revenge WT, there are those two upholstered side panels. They have oval shaped holes in them and you are able to store stuff in there. I'd like to replace the wood backing on both sides as they have weakened over ...

May be expensive but just line the front hull with keel guard strips! Or call the company and see if the sell it in sheets.

I have a 2006 Mercury 15 hp long shaft mounted to the port side of the main 200 Mercury on my Revenge. It is pushed over as far as the thickness of the transom will allow. I have this kicker connected to the main using an E-Z Steer telescoping rod that allows me to steer this motor from the helm and...

Fantastic info. Some pictures would be great when you get the manifolds in place. My Revenge has been covered with two tarps the past two months and I still have water getting into the fuel tank cavity. I, too, did not foam in-place my rebuilt tank; I just used foam mats to hold it in place. I will ...

floater

Thanks for the pic. I had the same thoughts about the two tunnels on the port side. I was wondering if I could run a bead of removable caulking around the base of the kick panel that covers the fuel hoses? That is the only spot I can see for water getting into the fuel tank cavity.

floater

On my 1988 Revenge 20 W-T, rain water always seem to get into the fuel tank cavity. The boat has on its mooring cover and a heavy duty tarp that covers the entire cockpit and rear deck from the windshield to the back of the engine. Even with all this coverage, rain water is still entering the fuel t...

BBS--did you have to trim the top three screw mounting plate on the actuator? It looks like it resting next to that protrusion. I read in another post how a person put a block of wood next to the protrusion so the actuator had something to mount against. Thanks Oops--I just re-read your description ...

I finished the install of the tank and floor and all the fishing stuff. http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o316/sterios/DSCN2799_zpsgwqyiwcl.jpg One thing I'm curious about though is that the tank doesn't appear to be aligned with the access hatches.

The pump is from Princess Auto. You equivalent down there is Harbour Freight. It claims to have a 26 foot lift capacity.

I'm in the process of finally putting the rejuvenated fuel tank back into my 1988 Revenge 20 W-T. I have the tank in place and strapped down, and I'd like to not use the foam around it.

I can't check the HIN as it's only an add I came across. Thanks for the info.

I saw this add and I was wondering if it was actually made by Boston Whaler?

No leaks anywhere. By topped up I meant to say 'make sure it's still topped up'.

floater

I did the same trick when I installed a new Uflex Hydraulic System--worked like a charm. I do it every season to make sure there are no air bubbles and to keep fluid topped up.

I had the same concern with my 1991 Merc 200. I increased my idle a bit and was able to get into gear without it dying. I ran a can of SeaFoam in a portable tank for a couple of trips and it all smoothed out and now runs fine. You may have your mid range jets plugged-up in the carburetor. Try the Se...

I got my refurbished tank back. They said it had a few pin holes in it but nothing too bad. It was sandblasted and the holes and pitting filled with aluminum then coated with some Poly-urea stuff. Looks pretty good. http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o316/sterios/DSCN2739_zpsnnyztwju.jpg http://i123...

I may be mistaken that it was a Mercury product but it did say 'ring clean' on the bottle. I got if from a Marine supply store. I figured it couldn't hurt to free up any sticking rings on the pistons. Sure hope that wasn't the cause of all the problems. I'm getting my tank back tomorrow and now I'm ...

I found a gas tank refurbishing place up here in Toronto. They are going to sandblast the tank and check and patch any holes then coat the entire tank with some rubberized compound. They claim they have done lots of marine tanks even bigger than mine. Total cost is 575 Canadian. I will post pics whe...

Yup I read that one too. This year has been very expensive with repairing all my used crap. Motor for Tahoe, gas tank for pick up, full rebuild of 14 foot tiny boat and now looking for a gas tank for the Revenge. A new bunk style trailer is going to have to wait.

I took the Revenge out today for some fishing with two portable tanks on board. Now that the original tank is out and all the wet foam has been removed it leaps onto plane! I may just keep using it with portables for now and wait to get a tank made up here in Ontario. So far the quotes have been 633...

I sure didn't like reading about the roller trailer!! I got 20 new rollers on my trailer and so far so good. No signs of any delamination but I don't trailer it very far.

Has anyone replace their Revenge, or Outrage, fuel tank with a plastic one? If yes would you have the model number? I'm looking at options to replace my 77 gallon tank. I can be smaller too as I don't really go anywhere but fishing with this boat. THanks

Yes I did a pressure test by blowing in some air through the vent hose. I saw a few bubbles coming from the port side towards the stern. All fuel hoses, except for the main fill and vent, were replaced two years ago. And now I replaced the main and the vent as well. It is for sure the gas. I put a 1...
