George -

That style of bow roller with the outside rollers aka "cow bell" or "ears" is preferred in my opinion.

It offers better protection when loading in snotty conditions where the bow is moving side to side.

The putty box is used in modern boats as an area for installation of a through hull transducer or through-hull fittings. Boston Whaler fabricated this box out of solid fiberglass. For your predicament, let the foam dry to the touch. Coat the exposed foam with epoxy and reinstall a new through hull f...

You can purchase stainless steel mounting hardware with your Carver top if you purchase through one of their vendors. I did this exact thing with my Outrage 17. https://www.boatcoversdirect.com/products/bimini_tops/BOSTON_WHALER_75/170_MONTAUK_O-B_W-_BOW_RAIL_W-_SIDE_RAILS_2121/23/A5475UB/8/ Note th...

Installing a smaller diameter pipe and sealing the ends is a good approach.

I am interested in doing another Lake Norman (NC) gathering.

We organized one in 23 and it was great.

Drop me an email.

The Yamaha F70 is the ideal engine for that hull.

Bring the tank with you and visit a supply store that caters to the farming sector, like these:

Tractor Supply
Southern States

Phil T

Thanks for the correction.

My attached drawing is the tank for the Outrage/Revenge 22.

Mea Culpa.

Phil T

Here is the original drawing from FMT for the tank. [I have deleted the attached file for the following reasons: it showed a 77-gallon fuel tank; the file name suggested this drawing was appropriate for an 18-foot hull, but later it was determined that was in error. Rather than let this mis-named fi...

As a result of owners testing their Montauk 17 with the Yamaha VMax 90 SHO, the recommended propellers include: 13 x 21 Yamaha Painted Stainless Steel 13.25 X 20 Mercury LASER II Size applies to the specific brand/model only and is not transferable. The engine should be mounted two-holes-up with the...

Phil T

Visit your local Boston Whaler dealer.

The lower numbers could be due to the options installed.

Q2: is the spec sheet the one for your boat or from a marketing brochure?

Phil T

Buy the boat, reinstall the snaps to your liking and move on.

Phil T

Bill -

I would expect parts and mechanics to service it will be very hard to find. This is party true if you live within driving distance of Lockeman's Hardware and Boats in Detroit Michigan.

Phil T

Definitely NOT recommended.

It should be your goal to avoid cutting, drilling or making any additional holes in the hull so as to avoid the possibility of water penetration.

Phil T

While you have a nice rig, a majority of prospective buyers do not want a 2 stroke engine, regardless of condition.

As each year passes the number of shops that only work on 4 stroke engines increases.

I think 12K is the appropriate ballpark. Post in the spring as this is the dead of winter.

Phil T

I am assuming the fuel tank is original and there is no canvas bundled with the purchase. This time of year [the sale should be around] $12,000 to $14,000. In Spring 2025 [the sale should be around] $14,000 to $15,000 You are going to have to filter out all the lookilooo's who will say the engine is...

Phil T

Marc - that photo is priceless!

Phil T

Swen - I know of several members who purchased the mold kit and made a mold of their floor pattern and used it to repair sections that were damaged. The outcome depends on how much effort you are willing to put to this. I understand if you decide to sand smooth, repair with resin and gelcoat. How di...

Phil T

While the pattern is not available, you can make a mold.

Gibco Flex Mold is one product that owners have used to repair non-skid patterns.

A belated Happy Festivus and Chrismukkah to all.

Phil T

We need a drawing of the fuel line routing and fittings along the way.

There are too many unknowns.

Draw up what it looks like it, take a photo with your phone and post it here.

Phil T

This is "osmotic blistering."

It is the result of leaving a non barrier coated hull in the water too long.

For a technical explaination see "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_blistering"

Phil T

There is/was a metal tag on the outside of the transom on the upper right near the top.

There is a stencil number gelcoated on the forward wall of the transom and up forward.

What does the last registration show?

Phil T

Q2: how is the [boat] speed measured?

Q3: could it be you were transiting a high current zone?

Q4: how do you know the proper hub is not damaged?

Q5: did you turn the prop by hand (with the engine off and the shift in gear)

Phil T

Q2: have you consulted the Owner's manual and drawings to understand the rigging path? You should be able to disconnect the hoses at the live well and attach the new hoses to the end of the old and pull it back aft. [The process of pulling in new hoses] will be helped if the ambient temperature is v...

Phil T

Turbo swing is a good option. High quality. The Turbo Swing does not require you to leave the boat at the shop for weeks of manufacturing. The Turbo Swing only requires two additional holes to be drilled, rather than 12 for a tower or a pylon. The Turbo Swing can be removed when not in use or when y...

Many owners with gauges that fogged up solved the problem by wiring the gauge lamps to the engine key switch ACCESSORY circuit rather than the navigation light circuit.

When the engine is running, the heat from the lamps would evaporate the moisture under the gauge bezel.

Phil T

A 10-feet-long steering cable is correct.

Phil T

With the Outrage 190 no longer in production, I doubt the cup holder gasket is available from Whaler.

I would investigate a gasket vendor.

It may be you will need to purchase gasket material of the appropriate thickness and cut the shape yourself.

Phil T

At some point in the past, Boston Whaler was using Sikaflex as its "adhesive"

Sikaflex 291 is a one part polyurethane adhesive.

Do NOT remove the bow rail. Add a hinged section instead. Read these threads: https://continuouswave.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7985&p=46073 Bimini hardware hinge thread: https://continuouswave.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5872 Do not go digging around in the bow cutting a large hole. Buy th...

Phil T

Have you contacted a Mercury dealer?

Sim Mercury is a good start. Give them a call.

Phil T

I agree with Tom.

Move the stern light to the starboard side.

Phil T

To eliminate the gauges from the list of culprits, swap out port and starboard tach/speedometer and see if they work.

Phil T

Not a Boston Whaler production model.

There are many companies that made ~18' center consoles. Some even copied the smirked bow.

It could be a CPD Raider (modified hull of the Outrage) that was heavily modified.

What does the HIN show?

Phil T

Most likely private equity shareholders looking for better return on investment. Sell these low performing assets and buy something else. They are so impatient. Cut and run. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/company-news/2024/10/17/brp-looks-to-sell-marine-businesses-double-down-on-powersports-ce...

Phil T

What props are you running, make, model and pitch.

Are you running tabs?

Phil T

Either the onset of the loss of power to the helm console was unrelated to the installation of the tabs OR your installation was made in a non-typical fashion.

Please detail the cause in the ignition switch.

Phil T

has a capacity of at least eight people, possibly more? You are looking for a rather large boat. Think CONQUEST models. NOTE; to transit the I-95 corridor will be a BEAR. Going from coastal Connecticut to Maine is challenging in a car, let alone towing a 5,000-lbs boat. I towed my 17-foot boat to G...

The entire archive of the forum can be searched using the internal search engine.

I know for fact there are at least 5 threads on bow trolling motor installs on the Dauntless 200, 210 models.

A2: Yes

A3: No

Many owners have relocated their fuel tanks and batteries to amidships.

Strongly consider relocating fuel tank to underneath the forward bench seat and the battery to underneath the console.

Phil T

Replace the thru-cap-vent-fill fitting.

Some owners have replaced the combined vent-fill fitting with separate fill and vent fittings.

PERKO makes decent fittings.

Phil T

I have owned two of this model for over 10 years and am intimately knowledgeable on it. The 1990 production year model was different than the 1991-1995 versions. The 1990 has an above deck tank underneath the wide spashwell cap. The rigging tunnel is on the centerline. It tends to be a bit stern hea...

Phil T

The through hull drains are a achilles heel of a Boston Whaler. You should be concerned. Before you reinstall the new ones and after the inside is as dry as practical, use a hair dryer to ensure the wall surface of the hole is dry. Coat the wall of the holes with a polysulfide based caulk, Boat Life...

Phil T

A handful of owners have reported a failure of the OEM circuit breaker, similar to the one in the photograph, on Montauk 170 I's over the last few years.
Apparently they don't hold up very well.

There are many manufacturers of this style of breaker. Quality counts.

Phil T

Sorry to be the naysayer.... nope. The engine is over 30 years old, a 2-stroke with 3 or more carbs. Barely any shops will work on carbs and those that do throw rebuild kits at them. With labor rates where they are, the costs to maintain will be high. When you do re-power, a 90hp engine will run you...
