My 15'6 Avon/Zodiac 4.65 Rib is in great condition, but rides rough unless we weight the bow. The factory side console location and rear bench seat (you drive from) seems too far back.
I see a ton of crab boats with the helm in the bow. I know this is for work and opening deck space, but it...
I have a Scandy White welded aluminum 16' boat that I am restoring. I plan on removing all the carpet and glue and painting the topsides.
Does anyone have solid experience on coating aluminum?

I have a 2006 Mercury 30HP EFI. It starts and runs perfect, until I shut it down when hot. Then it will not start and run in idle. The hotter it gets the worse it is, until it will not start.

I got it used. It ran OK for 2 times out on the water. The second trip it shut down and would not start.
I get no pop when...
Chris,
The regulator is held down with x2 SS screws. I removed the small line (drain possibly). I pulled out the regulator with the return hose attached. The regulator has a rubber seat under it. It has a brass tube with 2 o rings on it that goes down into the VST.
I do not see...
Chris,
Took the VST back apart today. The grommet at the top of the HP pump looks good and seated perfect. I attached a pic before I pulled it off.

Hello everyone,
