Marinette Boat Forum

Kim, First, welcome the forum!!! :-) Unsure if your pic's "light area" is actually bare aluminum or a previously painted surface. If bare aluminum, you're going to need to scrape the entire surface to remove any loose paint AND THEN sand all exposed aluminum. This may be more effort as com...

Thanks guys for commenting on my issue. The tanks are 100% full / much Seafoam added, so I'll leave as is. Also, thanks for the nice thots on Admiral's late spring / all summer issue. I'm recoup'ing from left hip replacement surgery a week ago (when it rains, it monsoons around here). So I won't be ...

Seafoam - good for stabilizing gas in tanks against breakdown, varnishing. Not so hot for water in gas. That's why I'd filled in March. To eliminate any space in tanks for condensation to accumulate. Admittedly, the period between Oct. 2016 and March 2017 without full tanks may have caused some issu...

Unfortunately, both of Sunset Seeker's 75gal tanks are full.(topped off in March of this year. There was still 25 - 30 gal of previous season's (2016) gas in tanks (added late fall and Seafoam added at season's end to stabilize) when topped off. At time of top off Seafoam was again added. Because Ad...

Thx! Hey, my kids gave me the nickname "Overkill Bill".....

... seems to work...

... except when I'm trying to explain to the Admiral why we need this or that for da boat!

Fully agree with Joel! Having said that, those that prefer a "no fly bridge" boat admire their boats for a variety of reasons. In many cases, it's subjective. AKA - there's no "right or wrong" in which is a better configuration. I like our FB for the reasons Joel provided. When b...

For your piece of mind (and in line with what you're asking), a 2nd opinion will be invaluable. I bought a couple of props this spring from Delta Propeller ( http://www.deltaprop.com/ ). A family situation kept us from putting Sunset Seeker in the water this year so I can't comment on performance. H...

Not being a true "gear head" but more of a "shade tree mechanic" (tuff to do on a boat! )...
Is there a downside to routing plug wires on the outside of the manifolds (length more than heat)?

Other potential causes (not allowing sufficient gas to be available at the carb): - Float in carb sticking - Float valve in carb partially blocked by ?? - air leakage somewhere in fuel delivery line/system (as part of Tuggle's reply above) - blockage somewhere in fuel delivery line/system (as part o...

TinChips - would these be in color? If so, (and as I understand you to indicate - they'd be without the GLMC logo and just a plain Seahorse imprint), I'd be interested in a couple.
