    F4 water issue

    I don't understand what motor you have but without seeing the water coming from the motors pee hole there's no way anybody can tell you if it's good or bad. Can you post a video? My Yamaha F150 doesn't pee much. The mechanic told me the motors run on high water volume under low pressure so I...

    12volt not working

    What did you have plugged in the socket when you realized you didn't have power? Are you able to trace the hot wire from the socket to the power source? Remember even if your able to reset a breaker or replace a fuse you need to known why the breaker tripped or fuse blow. And yes you can reset a...

    Water pressure gauge install

    Just an FYI of my experience. I have a F150 hp and also wanted to monitor water pressure. After installing everything the gauge didn't register any pressure, I don't remember the range. I was told that the cooling system is high volume/low pressure. Unless you have a gauge that reads very low...

    Stereo amp wire install

    Either way works. The difference is connect it to the switched side of the switch if you want power disconnected to it while the boat is being stored. Otherwise connect it directly to the battery if your not concerned about any current draw and it being "hot" while not in use.

    "Could it be the way new ignition switch was installed ?" Most likly it is the issue but by not seeing it I would be guessing. It shoud be easy to find the problem with the voltmeter.

    Get a voltmeter and start tracing the 12 volts from the fuse box thru the switch to the radio. First check the fuse.

    Running Out of Fuel - Half Full

    I had the same issue with an old boat I had years ago. " I can only pump 8 gallons into my 19 gallon tank" this is your issue not pumping gas out. Fill the tank as much as you can at the gas station, your 8 gallons. Then fill a couple gas cans, go home. Detach the trailer from your tow vehicle...

    Power drops at console when hitting switch/turning ignition

    Go back and measure the voltage at the battery while cranking the motor to confirm the voltage is stable at 12.7ish and not dropping.

    Steel Caps or Bearing Buddys?

    I like bearing buddies. Considering the cost of your boat and trailer the cost of the buddies is irrelevant.

    Rewire Electrical

    It doesn't sound like you have a short, you have an intermittent open. Most likely a loose or corroded connection. Shouldn't be too difficult to find.

    Alarm noise when the key is on

    If the boat has two oil tanks confirm both are full and the floats/sender moves freely. Most likely not a temp issue if it alarms as soon as you start the motor.
