I think the problem is solved. I removed the hardware from the end of the vent hose and pulled on the hose. It actually moved about four inches up out of the tank. I left the vent hose loose, put a bucket under it to catch any gas spitting out, and filled the tank with no problem. I think the...

Great looking boat! On towing: I am no expert but I know it's a good place to get in trouble. I suspect that manufacturers reduce the advertized towing capacity from what it really is but: The rule of thumb is a safe max tow load is about 15 to 20% less than your towing capacity. This allows...

Don't forget that the boat is sitting on about a $3,500 + trailer as it appears that it is equipted with hydraulic disc brakes. I am considering selling a boat and have the same issue. i wish there were a 'bluebook' for boats.

Watched a walk-thru run-a-bout with a gas inboard-outboard, pull up to the fuel dock. The guy left the engine running, was smoking a cigarette and talking on his cell phone while he was waiting for the fuel tank to top off and blow us all to hell. The only thing left for him to do would be to...

I am brainwashed by Yamaha to use their products. I use Yamalub and Ring Free and what ever they call the grease for the lower unit. I usually change my own lubs, oil filters and fuel/water separators, again, Yamaha brand, etc. I just recently realized that the guy who has, at one time or...

Rule Nr. 1: A skipper is to have control of his vessel and operate it in a safe manner at all times. That includes knowing whats in the water ahead of him. Even if you are in open sea you could be approaching a submerged object. That includes operating your vessel at speeds that do not exceed...
