Your concerns about water dripping on top of the fuel tank are real. After 17 years my fuel tank needed to be replaced. The dripping water on top of the tank under the live well was to blame. This is how I corrected the hole where the water supply and drain for the livewell penetrate the deck...

Never now as I bought my wife a bean bag chair and gave my seats away. Forget talking to shops. To have a shop custom make a leaning post would cost a small fortune. Maybe you could buy something close and have a local fiberglass shop make modifications to your specs. Google "boat leaning...

This picture is now 12 years old but I am still using the same leaning post today. I bought a fiberglass shell at a yard sale for $2. I gel coated it to match the hull, added 3 rod holders and had a shop make the pad. I used 3/16" aluminum tubing big enough to slide neatly over Parker...

Each platform is made to fit your boat so no part number. Armstrong's website is http://www.armstrongnautical.com

I bought 2 hub kits for a Mirage Plus for a Yamaha Ox66 200. I had 2 choices. I bought both. The more expensive hub kit was supposed to reduce the bang from forward to reverse. It did. I kept the lower price kit for a spare. If you have not bought a hub kit yet call Ken at Prop Gods. He is a...

Your boat looks great. You won't regret the Yamaha 200. I raised mine 2 holes from the so called :roll: "Dealer Install."

Sleigher, I have passed that boat where it was on a canal in Summerland Key here in the lower keys many times. The boat looks way better than it has in a long time.

I will go against the grain here. I run a 21SE. Two engines ago I had a Yamaha 150HP 2 stroke on this boat. The first repower was a new Yamaha 200HP 2 stroke. 3000+ hours on that motor and sold it still running. The second was also a new Yamaha 200HP 2 stroke. Cons I burn more fuel with...

Something is wrong. Prop too big or motor mounted too low or both or??? Your 175HP should get close to 5500RPMs I run a 200HP 2 stroke now but had a 150HP 2 motors ago Tried many props over the years and ended up with a Mercury Mirage Plus 17 pitch . Motor is now mounted 2 holes higher than the...

This thread is 3 years old but maybe the one megabite was thinking about viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5589&p=39291&hilit=leaning+post#p39291

I had Leveler also. The pump was in my bilge for 9 years. Inside the housing there are 2 solenoid valves that control both tabs. When they are slow to react or stuck they need to be cleaned. When I removed the pump and inspected the valves and the guts of the pump I found that it was not worth...

maddhatter, I sent an IM in reference to your leaning post. Thanks

The nice thing about the Avets is they are made in the USA. The smaller single speed Avets in the same price range have less max drag than the Marquesa's. That being said, for Stripers/Rockfish/Perch the single speed Avets would be fine. :P

I have 2 Fin-Nor Marquesa MA16's. I bought them for live bait fishing for tarpon. I also use them for vertical jigging. For the money they are hard to beat.

Call me Ken anytime before midnight EST at 305-395-0850 and I will be happy to talk to you.

Same boat sir. Same hull as the 21SE but a commericial hull meaning no rear boxes in the cockpit, no non-skid on the deck and a different rubrail. It has the large console from a 23SE. Offshore here starts 5 miles from the headpin. No inlets to run like NC. Offshore we can usually find fish...

I have had a 21SE hull for 10+ years. I fish in shallow water in the winter here in the keys. It is not a flats boat. I can fish in less than 24" of water. When I am in 10" of water here I am aground. :)

I still have an OX66 200 HP. I replace the racor every 50 hours VST Has never looked bad. I clean the VST tank and VST filter every 400 hours anyway I have NEVER used ethanol. :D The two marinas where I buy fuel have newer tanks. Not many hours on your motor. Sometimes that is not as good...

Mark T, When I said it was too stupid to render a comment it was not meant to be directed to you. It was supposed to be directed to the guy on THT who told you that. I am not that smart so I apolgize if my wording is less than stellar.

THT like any forum, including this one, will have good, bad and horrible advice. The bow steer comment is too stupid to even render a comment. FWIW I have a 1997 21se that has been tied to the dock with whips, no lift, no davits sitting in the water since 1999, 12 months of the year and I...
