Uneven exhaust water flow

I have an 86 32' sedan flybridge. Both engines run okay. What I notice is there is less exhaust water flowing from my starboard engine than from the Port engine. I have standard 318's. Also, when running above idle speed, I get some grayish smoke from the starboard engine, but not the port engine. A...

Re: Fuel filler hose removal

Thanks for all the suggestions. I finally tried a heat gun and that worked.

Re: Fuel filler hose removal

Thanks for all the suggestions. 1. I have not tried a heat gun, but I may (hair dryer). 2. There is an access plate, but it is small (6 X 8) . I tried using my sawz all with a long blade, but I could not get the blade high enough. 3. I removed the deck fitting, but the hose diameter is a little bigg...

Fuel filler hose removal

I have an 86 32 foot Marinette Flybridge Sedan with the Chrysler engines and twin 75 gal tanks. I had to remove the starboard tank and cut the fuel filler hose. I am ready to install the repaired tank but need to replace the filler hose. I can't get the old hose off the fuel filler fitting. Does any...

Re: Leaking Fuel tank

Busia,
In your photo It looks like you are using one tank, placed across the boat. Am I right? Secondly, what did you do to remove the old tanks?

Leaking Fuel tank

I have a 1986 31 ft. flybridge sedan. I have a leaking fuel tank. Does anyone have any experience with removing, repairing/replacing a fuel tank? My boat has two 75 gal. tanks. Only one seems to be leaking with a few pinholes.

Bronek Windscreen

I have an 86 Marinette 32 Sedan Flybridge. I keep my boat in a covered slip. During Hurricane Ida the water rose 8.5 feet in my marina. I had the bimini down, but the boat rose so much it crushed the windscreen against the rafters. Does anyone have the dimensions for the windscreen, where I could fi...

Gas tank leak

I have a 76 32' fly bridge Sedan with the original fuel tanks. I am fairly sure I have a leak in my starboard tank. I smell gas throughout the boat and I noticed after we docked our boat, that over the months, the starboard fuel gauge reads lower and lower. I cannot see any dripping, but feeling the...
