Stainless screws & bolts are correct. The key is to keep moisture away from the area where those 2 metals touch. If I were to go through another repaint job I would caulk every single screw hole with 4200 and make sure any areas that get wet can drain IE. under the bow rail mounts. The weep hole...

Yes. Full water tank makes the 32 list. Did the same for the 28' Fisherman & Express.

The engine room panel is probably an old reference that was never edited in the manual. Your 86 has all the breakers above and on the right side of the helm. All of the factory toggles function as breakers as well as on/off switches. Same goes for the bridge toggles.

If yo...

If the bowl does not fill you most likely have a leak in the big or little o-ring. Mine usually do that after I clean the strainers. I have to fiddle with the big o-ring to get it to seat properly. Also had to flip the tiny center o-ring last week to get the bowl to fill. The little ring gets bevele...

This one is at Anchors Away Marina in Port Clinton. Probably one of the last to come off the line.
