Re: What did you do to your boat today

You could switch amp to a manual switch to manually control if you think that is the issue

Thanks captive kevin- - I have what ever it is on the helm isolated along with the mercathode (I can not find) and the draw is stoped. While running i think the system can handle it. While charging if the bat switch is off, 0% draw on it. I will sort it out- new stero head to install....

Re: Bilge blower & hose set-up

First turn on the blower motor and confirm it works, it should blow air towards the hose that is disconnected. Replace if not working or weak airflow. Connect the new hose to the blower using a hose clamp. The other end connects to the vent on the side of the hull, again with a clamp. DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. IT SHOULD BE TURNED ON A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE(S) TO EXHAUST ANY GAS FUMES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND PREVENT AN EXPLOSION.

Re: Hot water and water heater

So...nice run on the river today. Water system worked perfectly. Cold stayed cold, hot after running for sometime hot very hot. So....perhaps that tank vent being plugged caused something weird....so, I will re plum that valve out i guess...almost a boat buck saved!

Re: What did you do to your boat today

Definitely a fun project. I'm learning a lot about the boat by getting all up in it.

I bought JL Audio M3-650X speakers to replace everything up in the cockpit. I plan on doing the sub too, but haven't bought that yet. Over the holidays I installed a new amp to replace the two from the factory.

Re: What is gear ratio for 2002 350 Mag Bravo3 stolen - any non-OEM replacements

If you know the drive serial # contact Mercury or a dealer to get the specs for it.

I like the libation station as well. 👍

That whole thing started off as a joke...but FWIW you might be surprised how cheap a custom vinyl sign costs to replace the Red Bull label that came with it. Also, the fluorescent bulbs got replaced with black lights, which is pretty neat at night.
