FWIW - the tank is 20-21" deep (high), as the fuel sender is 20"

The sender is in the middle of the tank (which makes sense) . . . I took the sender out for some bench testing. The tank is pretty much empty . . . might be a gallon or so towards the back. The tank looks fine. The sender does have some issues in a couple of the ranges. . . . In the...

OK, I only needed to pump out 8 more gallons until I got air. (using the fuel pick-up fitting). (48 gallons pumped out, total) So, my data looks like this. . . :oops: . . The sender sort of works . . . . but the readings are quite erratic . . . they over-state, and then under-state, the...

It goes in the cars and whatever else needs gasoline. :p

Yesterday was 'Fuel Off-loading Day 1' . . . I pumped out 40 gallons of gasoline from the boat (so far). At 5 gallons intervals, I checked the fuel gauge to see what its reading was. Each year I pump out until I get air, then I add back enough for fogging of the engines. The next year I...

I would check the alignment. U-joints don't like to turn all the way, particularly with power applied. A u-joint can feel OK, but be worn enough to cause the noise/vibration that you are experiencing.

I just hid the incorrect data on the Veratrons . . . Showed trim level and fuel gauge instead . . . . . 19 hours on the Honda display is the correct data. Onto the port engine . . . yesterday was all learning curve, but today went smoother. . . Oil changes are a lot easier than with the...

The middle gauge act as a speedometer, but it is tied to the port engine for data. not the best solution - I’m not thrilled with the Veratron gauges

OK I discovered something weird . . . . . I usually look at the round gauges (Veratron) for engine hours and today noticed they were at 37 hours :eek: . But my Honda display tells the real story . . . Just under 20 hours. :cool: I may have left the key on overnight, but if so, it only...

Here is a link to one of my several threads on Mercruiser Seacore cooling issues . . . https://forums.iboats.com/threads/2016-mercruiser-6-2l-ect-dts-axius-cooling-system-issue.767315/#post-5866331

BTDT . . . I had (past tense) a Cruisers Yacht 338 with the Mercruiser 6.2L Seacore engines. . .{converted it to outboards} . . . I started getting exhaust overheats and it would go into guardian mode (3000 RPM limited). I tried to clean out the elbows using oxalic acid. It improved it...

Oil change day . . . I got the starboard engine done, on to the port engine . . . With 11 qts of oil in each engine, it really comes flying out once the plug is un-fastened.

@Lou C . . . Northport? :unsure: I got my boat in Port Washington / Manor Haven

I have sea level in my back yard . . . . . The house (first floor) itself is about 12 ft above mean high tide. We rarely see any water rise from a storm though, since the winds are often off shore during such.

The past few days, I've been back & forth to the boat (just outside the garage) to do the grease gun stuff and change the lower unit lube. Every time I'd get out there when the rain stopped, it would quickly start up again. So as not to accidentally get any drops of water in the LU, I'd...

Just wondering about the wear on the coupler . . . :unsure:

Great News! How far out of alignment was it ?

The storm is backing into the LI/NJ shore area . . . .

Yes, the boat is reporting in safe from the Nor'easter . . . . . The storm is expected to get about this close to the Cape/Islands . . . then it is supposed to track over to your house @Lou C . . . :unsure: . . Winds peaked out at around 40 mph earlier today . . . all said & done by...
