So cool. Great video and pictures. You should definitely make a longer video with as much footage and you have of the whole trip. Would be a great watch for everyone!!
Charlie when we picked up our boat up at Barrett where it was winterized for 10 years, i noticed a canvas trailer measuring another boat in the marina being measured. I had a quick conversation with the guy just saying hello and he seemed super nice and down to earth. I am sorry i forgot his...
First time boat owner with our 290. Measures just under 32 feet with the swimming platform. We have twin engines thank goodness. Our neighbor in the very next slip has the same 290 but about 10 years older with a single engine. He has a rough time getting in as we have somewhat strong currents...
Totally agree with you here.
I will say this. We are first time boat owners as of a month ago. We probably went bigger than most for the first one, but it is what it is. We wanted something to stay overnight whenever we wanted, and to enjoy both out on the lake, and in the slip/marina. The...
Update.
Our local mechanic came to check it out with one of his guys. Found that the evap pan had debris and was clogging the drainage lines. they cleaned out, flushed a couple gallons of water through the pipe and all is well now.
We will be replacing the lines and deep cleaning the evap pan...
Sunday was brutally hot no doubt and yes we had some tough ones docking throughout our marina also. lot of helping hands running to help each other which is nice!
I am brand new to this site AND to boat ownership. I know just about nothing what it comes to boats. I am sorry for the troubles you are going through. As I may get into this same type of situation at some point in my boat owning life(almost a guarantee).
That being said I am a General Manager...
More so when we got out in to higher rpms. Really didn't feel like pushing it up over 3000-3200 so stayed slightly under 3000 for the short amount of time we were out. And then they synced back up when we go back to just above idle speed. I've spoke to a few and read some things. Anything from...
Question for you Creekwood. This will also allow the TV to be ON while plugged in and docked without draining battery correct? Going to put in a 27" today for the kids for the holiday weekend. We will be staying on boat for 3 nights and when docked i'm sure the boys will be using the TV. I...
Thanks for the in depth write up. We have same motors in our boat. Just recently purchased the boat. Survey was good good, especially with the motors.
On our third trip out in the lake, last weekend, our starboard motor was roughly 4-500 rpms higher than port. Didnt get a shut off at all and...
So after 3 days of NO a/c being run, the aft berth was bone dry. Clearly something with A/C lines. Over the weekend we had A/C on during the day Saturday and kept the cabin door shut for roughly 4-5 hours and it stayed dry.
On Sunday when docked, we left the door open with the A/C running, and...
OK got ya. I have noticed about a quarter inch by 2 feet in between the "stringers". I am assuming these are the two grey raised pipes down the middle of the compartment next to the pumps. So nothing to be alarmed of clearly.
Tomorrow hopefully we be the telling sign. We shut off A/C and will be back in the evening tomorrow to see whats happened...if no moisture, we know it is A/C related. I'm actually hoping it's this. As I was saying to JimG, the pump does fill up and pump out the through hull. That being said the...
