Fired the boat up on muffs yesterday. Sounded pretty good.
Noticed the starboard side exhaust manifold was getting a little hot.
Then the rpm started to go down. It wouldn't idle and shut off.
Was in the middle of cooking on the grill so didn't get to do anything else.
Guess maybe my new seat money may be going to exhaust manifold unless I can find where Brandon is parking his boat.
We're really looking forward to it, so I hope the weather cooperates.
Sorry to hear about the troubles John. What condition is your gas in? Old and untreated or new? How about the tank? Could you have picked up junk from the tank by any chance?
For troubleshooting, I like to use a 6 gallon tank directly to the motor therefore eliminating boat tank and filters to help verify where the problem is.
Hope you get it fixed soon and out on the water.. I want to see that Wellcraft.
Just for clarification, here is a picture of the charts. The red circle is the railroad tracks and the beach is just off to the right side there. The red line is my general approach and I haven't had any problems yet. The red buoy is not really in the right location on the chart so I crossed it out and drew a red circle approximately where its actual location is. When I am about 15 to 20 yards below the Red buoy #16, I turn and run directly into the middle of the stone bank at the Railroad tracks. There are some sandbars on the right side as you head in so when I come out, I run straight back to the channel before turning either way. Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions and I will see what I can do to help answer them.
I am VERY interested in that!!! I am going to look into more but would most likely run with you for awhile.
Jason,
Thanks for the info. We plan on taking all three of our kids out of school that day as a surprise. (Sort of a reward for all A's thus far this year) I've also heard that you want to get to the Severen by 10:30am, as they close the river to boat traffic around that time??? Not sure if this is accurate but we're going to try and head out of Fairlee Creek no later than 9:00am which would give us plenty of time to get to the Severn. Leaving sounds allot like July 4th fireworks, which we'll probably treat the same way...stay put until all the goofyness is gone.
That red area you have circled is about where we anchor up for Northeasts fireworks show. Nice cozy cove..Sorry to hear about the troubles John. What condition is your gas in? Old and untreated or new? How about the tank? Could you have picked up junk from the tank by any chance?
