Rule Industries and Johnson Pumps are two who makes a decent pump. I, personally, prefer the manual pump with separate float switch. The auto-sensing are a little too tall to fit in the bilge. The key to trouble free operation is making the wiring connections waterproof. 500 gallon manual Rule examp...

Sean - Good to see you back.

Bob - The only down side to my rear rollers was I had a limit in how far to submerge the trailer. This was only a problem on very steep ramps. The Eliot ME ramp on to the Piscatisqua was tricky since it is very steep at low tide and the tidal current can be wicked at full ebb. I preferred the roller...

I took the liberty and did a search of the archive.

Here is a thread discussing technique AND a photo

The hardware is commonly referred to as barrel nuts or "sex" bolts (not kidding).

After a site search, here is a thread with the sources (Fastenal, Grainger):

Butch -

You are correct. I knew someone might spot that so I posted the photo just to illustrate it is a threaded tube to assist TG in removing it.

I could not open the electronic Perko catalog to show a close-to-OEM fitting.

:)

Phil T

The fitting looks very close to this:

Bob - Due to having to solo launch and retrieve outside a no-wake zone with large waves from tugs, ferries and USCG 41's, I installed stern guide rollers on my trailer.

While not exactly OEM, consider this:

Jim -

Congratulations. We hope the Revenge found a good home.

Is that the boat from Anacortes? If so, she looks amazing. The rear curtain set is ideal for your conditions.

Phil T

Start a new thread discussing your trailer. I have a few ideas for ya! :)

Phil T

For any repower, check the new engine weights and evaluate how the boat will sit. Add weight to the stern and observe trim at rest and general handling at speed.

Prop suggestions will be engine dependent.

Phil T

The fiberglass console is original. The wooden gauge panel and top shelf have been added--a nice touch.

Phil T

http://www.e-components.net has long been the source for replacement direct read mechanical and remote gauges and senders.

I think it is going to take someone actually trying a e-components direct read gauge with a newly designed tank from FMT.

(just for consistency)

Phil T

If looking for better performance, consider changing to stainless steel and not aluminum. This will affect pitch size since size is not universal across brands and models.

Phil T

Check all the wiring connections.

Check the float on the arm.

Phil T

In addition to Butch's comments. [The height of a Boston Whaler 180 DAUNTLESS] depends on the Dauntless 180 trailer. It is a wide boat so most likely will not be sitting inside the trailer wheels. If the trailer has springs it will sit higher than a torson axle. I have seen members modify their cons...

One less expensive option is look for a outdoor grill cover. I have noticed outdoor grills have grown tremendously. Take some rough measurements of what you want and do some online searches, then visit the box stores. You may even find deals with the end of summer. Personally, I would get a small he...

You are not the first to install a Mercury 150 FourStroke on a Outrage/Guardian 18. The search feature on this site is very good. Here is a good thread (skip over the blather over engine brands) that compares the Mercury Enertia and Mirage prop. Bottom Line - Enertia 18p prop is the way to go. http:...

Your dealer is an idiot.

SIM Yamaha have decent selection and prices and good service. They show both the TACH and SPEED digital gauges but you will probably need a converter plug for your harness. Call and talk to them prior to ordering because there are two versions of the digital gauge and the harnesses are not similar a...

Phil T

It would help if you guys put your location in your profile.

Phil T

If you do a search on the archives, you will find the comments

"...as high as possible"
"E-TEC's like to be mounted all the way up"

Here is one thread for example

Hi Rob -

Glad you are back.
Despite the sun in the photo, I would say 7-9k. Remember the fuel tank if not already replaced will need it.

I too reviewed my Whaler bookmarks this spring. I too was pleased to see it still live. I miss the annual spring check-in email we had.

Here are some parts diagrams that may be of help to you. They are from http://www.whalerparts.com for the 2007 Outrage 210.

While both Outrage 19 and Outrage 17 II's are great boats, LOA is king.

Go for the Outrage 19, it will give you the attributes you are looking for.

Phil T

Butch--does this hyperlink help?
http://www.go2marine.com/product/159471F/uflex-outboard-hydraulic-steering-cylinder-uc128.html

Phil T

It would help to know your location.

There is a good chance a member will have a recommendation for a custom shop.

Phil T

I would contact Seastar for assistance.

Have you read this reference article and its links?
http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/teleflexSeal.html

Note the reference materials on http://www.seastarsolutions.com/support-2/ are pretty extensive.

Phil T

One way to ensure an informed decision is to pay a Mercury certified mech to inspect the motors.

Phil T

Do a search here and on the archives.

I recall reading threads from Jeff (Rohlfing) who used one to tow his Newport.

Phil T

Hope the weather and turn out is good.

Please post photos!

Phil T

Good info.

This is one of those topics that repeats. Here is detailed conversation from way back in the day.

http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000302.html

Phil T

For those not wanting to foam in the tanks, materials used to keep the tank secured include composite board (phenolic, starboard etc) and hose. Use rubber strips under the metal straps. Typically the long sides of the V have angled strips or sections of hose that allow water to travel to the bottom ...

Phil T

There could possibly be a loose wire or a loss of ground if the control includes the neutral safety and kill switch.

Try fixing before replacing. Remove all the tape and inspect. Why is the tape there? Is the control loose? Try tightening the mounting hardware.

Phil T

Phil T

Do a pressure test on the tank (no more than 4 PSI). Think you will find a hole or a bad seal.

Forgot to ask, are the hoses alcohol resistant? IF they are, it is written on it and there is a red stripe on the outside of the hose. That may be the culprit.

I hosted the photos for Russ

A good trailer parts source for East Coast members is easternmarine.com. They carry Loadstar brand tires (OEM on Load Rite trailers) which I really like.

Phil T

Bob - To offer advice, we need some detailed information. Please detail what the current prop is; make, model and size. At what height is the engine mounted. What is the passenger and gear load when performance was tested. I would say you are under propped and should shoot for WOT rpm's of 6-6100 an...

Phil T

The 190 Outrage (originally called Nantucket) is a great boat. They are expensive compared to a Montauk but cheaper than the larger Outrage. There is a lot of competition in the 19-foot-offshore style and many other brands are less money but lower quality. The Outrage 190 will be comfortable in the ...

Phil T

It would be helpful to post a photo that shows the existing installation of your instruments so we can offer appropriate advice.

Phil T

It could be the pump has the "auto-sensing" feature. If so, when dash switch is in the "on" position, it is auto sensing for water and will discharge water once detected.

Some testing with the switch and some water placed in the bilge will be telling.

Phil T

E-TEC engines like to be mounted HIGH. I would go up at least one or two holes.
