So, my tip / trick will help you clean your fuel injectors on your boat. This requires you to have a screw on fuel / water separator that is installed in the vertical position. First, start the engine and warm it up. Then, unscrew the fuel filter and dump out the fuel into an appropriate...

Can someone help me decipher the codes on Great Lakes Skipper? https://www.greatlakesskipper.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Formula+boat+curtain+kit&cat= What is a 350 HT? 316 ATS? 270 VC? Nothing has years and their terminology is foreign to me.... However, they all look like Thunderbird /...

Does anyone know what the original head unit was for the 2002 timeframe? The past owner put in a KDC-BT652U, which barely powers the arch speakers and is not compatible with the KDC-C717 CD player. I have a lot of CDs and do not use sat radio, so I don't need sirrus or streaming music. It...

I have an outlet in the mid-cabin area that is not working. It appears to be factory, but it is not shown in the wiring diagram. Anyone else have this or was this outlet added later? It is on the built-in night stand that is right next to the mid cabin closet. I tried to chase the wire, but...

Just wondering if anyone has changed out their pump. Mine is done for, a rusty hunk of metal that finally died. It appears that the wiring is in the forward bulkhead under the generator. Have anyone rewired their pump? Do I need to move the generator for a professional install? Any idea on...

Does anyone know how the "wood" grain portion of the steering wheel is removed? I am covering the dash in 3M Di Noc and hoping to get everything to match. It appears that I need to just pry it up, but if anyone knows for sure, please let me know if there is a trick. Thanks.

Any of you gents changed the starter? It looks like this is going to be a bear to replace. I smoked mine trying to start the port engine. Tips of any kind gladly accepted.

Looking for the camper extension; will look at buying other pieces if available. Camper extension, any color so I can have a new one made. For whatever reason, this boat was missing the front window section and the camper extension (I have all the other canvas parts). Right now, I just want...

Finally ran my boat up from Deale MD to Aberdeen. The trip went well until I reached Poole's Island. At that point, the starboard engine started sputtering and died. It started right back up and I lowered the RPM to 2800. It was still sputtering and failing, but continued to start back up...

Just wondering how everyone cleans their mattress cover, pillows, duvet or curtains? Thanks!

Some additional photos:

Here is the wrapped panel. I actually added 3/8 aluminum bar stock, locked it in with epoxy, used body filler and sanded before I covered with the Di-Noc. The original electronic charter was much bigger than the Garmin. I now have the plastic rings on all the bolt/screw holes.

I am having an issue with my starboard engine...low water flow. I assume the problem is at the gimble housing because of a poor design of the BIII's. For those who have converted to thru hull pickups, where did you put the seacock and the strainer? Did you block off the outdrive water pickup...

OK, I called the TAG and they still haven't gotten back to me on this. Where is the Aft cabin table stored? Either I can't find it, or the previous owner somehow lost it. Also, how do you open the access panel in the aft cabin under the stairs? And finally, the aft bunk cushion when you...

There is an access door on the port side of the aft cabin, just above the vacuum. Does anyone know how to open that service hatch? Thanks/

Half of mine are rubbed off and not readable. Does anyone have a diagram or photo of the rocker panel switches? I would rather not play around to test them. Also, does anyone have a good source of replacements? I emailed the TAG on Sunday, but thus far, no response. Thanks!

I need new canvas, both the mooring cover and the full enclosure. Any recommendations for a good canvas shop in the region? Also, what does everyone think about Strataglass? What about Makrolon for the front? http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=24785&catid=704 Thanks!

I have been around boats all my life and I am retired Navy. However, this is my first boat I OWN outright. I basically grew up on boats and I am looking forward to getting back in the saddle, per se. I really like the layout of the 31 PC and although I can't afford a new one, this one is in...

I appreciate the help from Mr. Castines in getting on the forum. Tough when you are banned for life before you even start... Thanks.
