I just replaced the external fuel filter, had a lot of debris in the water bowl. not sure where it would have come from. Everything from the fuel tanks to the filter were replaced or rebuilt. good to know the internal filter is a reasonable price. The only local dealer, charged me that much just...

I took the cape cruiser out for the day, Monday. problem with stalling issue still persists. When the engine started to stutter stall at about 19 m.p.h. I checked the primer bulb it was still firm. Stuttering only happens when in higher R.P.M.'s I heard about older hoses deteriorating on the...

I played around with it today. Im kind of embarrassed to say, but I never considered the external fuel filter, since I figured it was positive pressure. And if that was the problem I would see fuel dripping. well turns out that the fuel filter is connected between the tank distribution valve and...

Hi C-Whisperer, thankyou for replying to my problem. I have learned a lot from reading this web page, where you and others such as SoBELLE have helped solve issues with these boats. Good boats, just little corks here and there. Definitely a learning curve to keeping them working and to operate...

yeah, that has been my experience with other outboards also. and I did the same with this C.C., but the engine stalls because some how the fuel is escaping from the fuel line. I presume back to the tank. I obviously have a leak somewhere in the vacuum portion of the fuel system, because I cannot...

I have a 2006 cape cruiser 23. I have an issue with the vacuum between the gas tanks and the primer bulb. it takes a lot of squeezing of the primer bulb and switching the tank selector back and forth from tank to tank and cranking the 150 Honda engine, to engage the engine fuel pump to reduce...

Once again thank you ! I have been removing all hardware, one item at a time. I have come across a lot of exposed balsa and foam core and filling with epoxy. Luckily all balsa and foam core is dry so far. I was a bit concerned and surprised with the deck, was expecting the worse. Had standing...

Thank you Thataway , I very much appreciate and value your information. I am amazed at the projects you have under taken and shared on this web page. The reason I am concerned or even aware of these issues, is because of you and others sharing your experiences with us. C-brat web page and all...

Does any one know what the material on the upper sides of the hull is? I have removed the water tank vent to seal it, and wanted to be sure I'm not dealing with thin balsa. It appears to be insulation material over the glass hull. anyone have info as to exactly what this is and where balsa...

Thank you so much for all the good advice. I think I have enough info now to hopefully place a couple inspection holes, and address the water intrusion issue.

Wow I am impressed with the knowledge of boats on this web page. Yes, I did not describe the boat or my intentions. My boat is a 2006 Cape Cruiser Venture 23. Because of a lot of concern I had read on this web site, I feel it is necessary to make an inspection hole in the rear deck and also in...

Any suggestions for cutting a hole in the cockpit deck for an inspection port. I am concerned of cutting into a stringer, any one have info or pictures of the hull under the deck?
