    Low voltage problem?

    No manufacture does this from the factory, only why this would be setup to work this way is from some shade tree mechanic

    Low voltage problem?

    Agree with Gsent, your Bats are the initial issue. A AGM at 12.4V is 75% and going down to 11V is about dead While the boat gauge may have an issue, the Alt should output 14 to 14.5V at the Bat, same as the Bat charger

    Battery Question

    From what I'm reading the 34 is a auto Bat and the 24 is marine. 34 has more slightly CCA but 24 has more reserve capacity Just my take

    2001 260SS with a 496 MAG with Bravo 3 Performance Issue

    Howdy The max WOT RPM is 5200 so it was pretty close to it. Do agree boat should do better then that so wonder if there is something sly going on. Going from 4900 to 5200 is only a couple more MPH. Boat test should be at least 50 If boat was doing 39MPH and turning 3900RPM then motor is the...

    2000 31 PC

    Need to test a find out what the voltage level is at the drives. This is measured using a digital voltmeter and a Merc test probe. There are other manufactures of the probes but would need to look. The probe is basically a platinum coated wire wrapped around a short plastic stick with a led...

    Bilge Question(s)!

    Don't know for sure which question is being asked, so I'll try all sides Does the forward bilge have a bilge pump? If it does then maybe that pump is there to pump the condensate out If there is no bilge then the line was cut, unless there is a drain leading to amidships bilge If the forward...

    Bilge Question(s)!

    My guess is this should not be a problem Guessing, look for AC condensation My 27PC AC condensate drained into the forward bilge. The forward bilge contained the shower bilge pump and also a suction line coming from the vacuum pump located in the engine room. A float located behind the AC unit...

    Speedo Stopped Working and Inside is Yellow?

    The speedo is run by water pressure that comes from the drive via a thin hose to the gauge. The Bravo drive has a small hole on the leading edge that can get clogged. If the hose breaks this will also stop the gauge. If hose breaks inside the boat there will be water in the bilge Put a 1/8...

    Rough condition hull

    Maybe, depends on what paint you use. Also Gel can be harder to apply I painted my PC hull bottom with VC Performance (3 coats). VC is an epoxy and great paint but the down side is it doesn't have any UV protection, so the sun will cause it to yellow. Now if the paint is used below water line...

    Rough condition hull

    Sand and Gel or sand and paint, both will make it look good Gel coat will have a better chance of it looking original, but no issue with paint. Look at all the high dollar offshore boats, most all of them are painted.

    3/4 NPT Drain Plugs

    National "Pipe" Thread the key being pipe. Pipe is sized by ID, so it takes a 3/4 threaded fitting to get a 1/2 hole

    3/4 NPT Drain Plugs

    I would not use a Tap to clean the threads. A Tap is designed to cut threads, not chase threads, and a NPT Tap as you know gets larger the further it goes in. Do it enough and you may need to replace the garboard I might use a round wire brush like one used for battery terminal or copper pipe...
