What is there to changing the system? Is that a better route to go?

Great feedback guys. Gotta love all the knowledge that's floating around out here. I really appreciate all the tips when I run into something afoul :smt043.

First boat with vacu-flush and still learning soooooo much over-all, so thanks fo any help. Boat is an '82 360 Express if that helps any, but we have the original system and can tell by the state at time of purchase earlier this year. The one item left for now in this area is an empty bottle...

I have a 1983 360 Express, and Taylor Marine requested i take the measurements and an "end shot" picture of the molding so the could match it up as their records did not go back that far.

This is my first with twins, and I'll never go back. The balance is what sells me. Seemed with the previous, being a single, the boat always leaned one way or the other. Then you add the manuverability in tight spaces a BIG plus. But like others have said, to each his own...

My suggestion is don't do it unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. We thought it was a good option until a pipe burst (actually poor plumbing reconnection by a "mechanic"). Luckily we weren't on dock water and only pumped ~ 30 gallons before the frech water tank emptied. Had it been connected, probably...

Welcome!!! Man do I miss So CA.... Came back home to TX after 8 yrs there to hang with the parents and in-laws while still able to. Not a bad decision from their viewpoint, but i MISS the Pacific. Fished every weekend, Catalina on a monthly basis.... Want to have some fun, hook up with the...

Had a similar problem and it turned out to be on the elbow just off the fitting on the bottom of the holding tank connecting the pump out hose. The dye is a good idea, but was hard to see in the bottom of the blige.

Would love to join in the fun,,, but boat is too large to travel. Was looking to rent one for the weekend. Suggestions?

Foregive me readers... I'll double-check my typing next time before hitting "post".

TMAIN,,,, as an owner of old boats forever... I can say you will never be through. I agree with others that it HAS to be a labor of love... We bought our '82 360 in February... Everything seemed to work, and inspection came out "ok". Bought it knowing port engine would need replacing, and...

Am interested in the leveling "quick drying" product you mentioned. Think the admiral is almost afraid to tackle ,,,, seems she has forgotten the "he can do anything" mentality she had 30 yrs ago... :huh: I think between the two of us we can get the job done... Good luck with yours, and...

Top notch job kiddo!!! Be proud of what you have accomplished and make sure everyone you let accompany you takes as good care of it as you do. Be that meticulous about every aspect of her and she'll take care of you for a long time. Congrats!!! Tex

Wow,,, great to see other Lake conroe boaters posting. Traveler was right about the pic being from The Palms gas dock. Not sure about spiders in the dry storage, but will take texxmark's word on it. I do know the wet slips have a misting system to keep them out. We currently call Walden...

Thanks everyone!!!! Went back to my mechanic. He has agreed to stand behind his call on the engine. He has offered rebuild the original engine, and we'll share the workload of swapping them out. I expected there was no "easy" solution, or one that seemed relatively inexpensive but one can...
