Thanks for the advice. Any idea what the blower will run?
Anywhere from $25-50 for your size boat. Cheap life (and boat) insurance. --Mike wrote in message ups.com... On Mar 31, 9:32 pm, "Mike" wrote: The boat noticeably wants to go to starboard. In all honesty, I weigh quite a bit more than my wife and 4 year old son put together. I don't know much about the Speedster, but most boats are sensitive to loading. If the boat is pulling to starboard, ask your wife to take the helm, and you go to the port side. How's it ride now? The smaller the boat, the more sensitive it is to loading. The bilge blower and bilge pump have never worked according to the seller Bilge blower... Get it fixed ASAP! That's a fundamental safety item, that must be functional. Starting the engines with the bilge filled with gas vapors from a leak, or whatever will ruin your whole day... or life. Fix it before you take the boat out again. The bilge pump... while not as catastrophic, will ruin your day as well if it's not running, and you need it. Personally, I would not go out if my pump was inop. Both the blower, and pump are easy remove and replacements. The left RPM gauge has some moisture in it and as such seems to be all over the place. Swap the connectors for the tachs and see if the problem remains on the left tach. If it does, then the tach is fubar. If the right tach all of a sudden shows the same problem, you have a more serious problem elsewhere. Can't help you with the leak, as I'm not familiar with the SeaDoos. I'm a Yamaha jet boat guy. ;-) I hope this helps. --Mike Thanks for the advice. Any idea what the blower will run? |
