    Pontoon "Boats"...

    I have a 300 hp on a lake. Gets me 40 to 50 mph depending on how many people. Nice when weather comes in and you need to get off the lake. Multi purpose boat. With modified Triton it gets up and banks which is great for tuning or skiing. Likely 200 hp 2ould be enough but I dont mind a...

    I just use standard 20 pound steel tank that is on an exchange program. I have the back up 10 lb Al. In the propane locker. I dont get much rust on the steel tank and swap it out every so often when in the US.

    Fuel line between tanks

    Another reason to close is of you are in an area where fuel may be sketchy. Only add fuel to one tank.

    This thread has a few things going on. In regard to Mystery and RClarke on the fuel gauge. Possibly not the problem but my tanks have a valve between them. if I am running the generator it pulls from one tank. Even if the valve is open it takes quite a while to equalize.

    Failed Auto Pilot

    I came off some pretty rough seas a few days back. Everything worked fine. The next day when I fired everything up the autopilot controls and AIS etc (2 small screens on lower helm and one on upper) did not power up. I looked at the ACU400 and found the 3 Amp fuse blown. I replaced it and it...

    Turbo Pressure

    The problem just started. One other symptom is I hear a high pitched noise, faint but its there. Occurs when running the engines at high RPM. Another thing that happened, I am not sure if related or not. I was running wide open for a short period and one of the engines temperature climbed...

    Turbo Pressure

    I have twin D300 Volvo engines. The turbo pressure used to be the same for both. Recently I have noticed the pressures vary about 8% between the engines. Is this an indication of problems?

    Shower drains have a basket and they pull out. The gadget we use we got from bed bath and beyond, it is for removing hair from sinks. They should be able to help you. Its about 2 feet long and looks like a large pipe cleaner.

    I originally had problems with showers and sinks and still do sporadically. I resolve the problem by pulling the filter in the showers and running a cleaning device that you can push down and it picks up hair etc. After that I put the shower hose and blow water down, use plunger as required...

    The open cell is the way to go, but as Michael said its not cheap. The problem with my cushions and likely tours is the foam material, which sucks.

    I added grommets to the bottom of the cushions and to the compartments that have no way to drain. Not sure how much it will help, I just did it a few weeks ago.

    Mystery I have recently had something similar with my trim tabs. Everything works fine but the upper helm lights sometimes show a couple of bars when the tabs are up. When I put them down and up the lights correct themselves. I have had problems with the shower draining. Took out the...
