This may work, but built in fuel tanks may have an 'anti-siphon' valve at the top of the tank. This valve is to prevent fuel from siphoning out of the tank if a fuel line leaks. If fuel flows when pumping the primer bulb but not when the bulb is released, you probably have such a valve. In...

Two comments: Modern automobile fuel tanks are 'sealed' with a vacuum/pressure valve and so not inhale/exhale like a boat tank. Bottom drains or withdrawals on gasoline tanks in boats are not allowed by USCG rules.

I purchased a small 12 volt fuel pump at the auto parts store, added wire with battery clips, 5/16" gas hose and the tank fitting that matched the boat's fuel hose connector. To drain tanks, connect the pump hose with the tank fitting to the boat's fuel hose and put the end of the output hose...

I clicked on the Sailrite link and their website says "Item no longer available." Has anybody found this material anywhere else?

An item not mentioned is the possibility of increased fuel leak/fire/explosion hazards in an I/O boat. Having the fuel consuming engine in the boat where any leaks in the fuel system can get into the bilge increases the risk. Automotive engines are located under the hood of a car where...

My thanks to those responding. I now have a list of fishfinders to start the search.

Bob, Thanks, I will investigate those two units.

Bob, Thanks for the reply. This fishfinder is going on a 14ft Livingston skiff, so a thru-hull transducer is not possible, it needs to be a transom mount. I also don't have room or funds for a 10 inch $2100 plotter. My main requirements are that the finder can actually show salmon and show...

Brats, I need advice on buying a fishfinder. I have taken up salmon fishing and need something better than my Lowrance X-4 Pro. I want to be able to see the salmon on the finder. It also needs to be able to track the bottom down to 1000ft for deep prawning in Canada. Having a GPS...

Tommy J Perhaps its a misprint, but note that a 22 C-Dory uses a motor for a 20 inch transom.

thataway and Kushtaka, The Honda website history shows the 90hp/358lbs was introduced in 1994. When I bought my 1991 22Cruiser from the factory, they were Johnson dealers, and frowned on any motor larger or heaver that the 70hp 2-stroke. As I was with an Evinrude dealer at the time, the...

My 1991 22 Cruiser was powered with a 70HP Evinrude (250lbs) and a 8HP kicker (60lbs) with 50 gals gas in two tanks under the splashwell. When traveling downwind/downwave, the stern would always lift when overtaken by a following sea. I never took on any water over the splashwell. This held...

E Q Marine is located at Cornet Bay north of you. They were dealers for C-Dory in the past. You can call them to see if they have any used C-Dorys for sale. They can give you good advice on C-Dory and similar boats.

It's a torque reaction. The prop rotates to the right, viewed from behind. The torque reaction to turning the prop tries to rotate the motor and the whole boat to the left. (The left side of the boat is being pressed down while the right side is being lifted.) You have more torque applied to...

Did you check the tank vent(s) for clogging? Could be bugs or spiders in the vents.

Phone service in the Broughtons is mostly *none*. Phones work in the Queen Charlotte Strait, but not in the Broughton Islands if you loose sight of the Alert Bay tower. Wi-Fi is available on a limited basis at most marinas. Do not try or expect to skype, stream movies or watch you tube...
