    Dragfluid's Pontoon build

    welcome, thanks for sharing your project. I feel that with a toon as small as yours, weight distribution is going to be critical. The helm shouldn't need to be placed according to the crossmembers. The decking should support it. I would suggest looking at other 16' pontoons to see how they're...

    Tritoon trailer for pontoon?

    typically the engine pod sits higher than the toons, so I don't think it will be an issue.

    AQ125/270 Still overheating (PLEASE HELP)

    @captmello when running on muffs, I still don't get water to the exchanger...are you saying the cap of the exchanger? I'm referring to the strainer cap that is part of the raw water side, not the expansion tank cap that acts like a radiator cap. I mentioned muffs because I assumed you were...

    AQ125/270 Still overheating (PLEASE HELP)

    while running on muffs, there should be water flowing under the cap of the strainer, lots of water. pull the cap and see. if you've got good flow there, I'd suspect the exhaust manifold is clogged.

    when I rock a bathroom, I put a couple screws in the wall next to where the piece will be on the ceiling about 3/4" down from the ceiling joists to catch one side of the sheet, then use a "t" made of 2x4. the t should be long enough to brace the sheet tight to the ceiling. set the sheet on the...

    Possible hydro lock?

    pull the spark plugs and try the starter again, ASAP! if it's hydrolocked water will come out. if you get water out, put the plugs back in and try to start it again. you don't want water sitting in the motor.

    1969 Volvo 280. /. Donzi St Tropez

    there is/was a 280 with power trim, but they are uncommon. converting to a newer style outdrive could be costly but anything is possible. what result are you hoping to achieve by adding the power trim?

    1986 Bayliner Capri with AQ125B won’t go past idle in reverse

    sounds like your throttle control may not be working properly. I would check take sure the cables are not binding at the engine and outdrive.

    1980 crest/maurell 25'

    I'd say halfway submerged is about right. gives you some room to load up the boat. that tracker is floating low imo, probably a 20footer with a large motor. I suspect someone added that wedge to lower the pod, it might not be original to the boat. my pod is 3-4 inches below the waterline at...

    Main fuse

    you're going to have to keep looking. I can't see your boat, but my fuse panel is in my helm. so, can you get inside the helm? start working your way back? do you have a "master" switch at the helm?
