Is that a guarantee? And, how do I collect if I ever do have problems? :roll:

Contrary to popular belief, Alaska isn't anywhere near Washington. :roll:

Thanks for taking care of our new baby on the way up to Alaska, Jack. Much appreciated! The 26-footer is a lot bigger than the 17-foot Arima we've been enjoying for the past eight years. After taking the shrink wrap off.

2007 Cape Cruiser Marinaut 26

Like unwrapping a present - the shrink wrap is off

Finally home - April 2014

It's not the setup that I would choose, but it's nice to see that the factory is willing to do custom configurations. I'm sure the new owner will love it!.

Hmmm... Furuno says their 525TID-TMD is the same as the Arimar M258. And Airmar says the M258 is 4.25" X 10.25" (with all the mounting shims), and weighs 7.9 pounds. I'm not sure what you have, but are you sure that it's a 525TID-TMD, and is actually "12-inches in diameter and 17 pounds"? In...

The nut's not welded - or, at least, it shouldn't be!

Um... I don't think much assumption was necessary when you said: And, I'm actually shocked you watched any part of the game at all after a comment like this... Hypocrisy, thy name is starcrafttom. Seriously, what happened to just being nice?

Captains Cat - I'm sure there are several ways to test lubrication properties. Here's the results of one such test that uses some expensive, calibrated equipment (LINK). But, I'm sure a guy could figure out how to get similar results with cheaper methods, even if those results were only...

What I find interesting, is that they didn't bother to test for any differences in lubrication. Wouldn't that be the first thing to test in a comparison of oils?

Dave - the info you want is in the second link I posted. The recall/no-fill only affects the Lite Cylinder brand tanks.

Here's some info about the recall... LINK And another LINK.

Here's the picture that C-Nile referenced above...

Captains Cat - I have the SeaStar system on the 26-footer. It certainly makes sense in that case, as the twin Honda 90's exceed the Baystar's 150-hp max rating. But, based on my seven years of experience using the BayStar system on my Arima's 90-hp motors, I'm just not convinced that the more...

You mean like these threads at The Hull Truth? Oh, wait. Those threads are all about failures of SeaStar systems... :roll: Sure, the SeaStar system is supposed to be more 'robust', since it's rated for use on greater horsepower outboards. And, the rubber hoses are probably easier to install...

If you're implying that 'most BayStar systems fail', I'd like to see some data to back that up. (Again, my single data point does not fit that trend, but I know it's just one single data point.) If you mean that 'most Baystar failures are leaky cylinders', that's an entirely different thing...
