Thanks Sushi for the advice.
I spoke with Chet today for about 15 minutes. When I told him I could hear the solenoid clicking he told me it may not be the solenoid but a bad relay. He was correct as I had a friend turn the key...
Well I got out for a few hours yesterday and same problem. She fired right up at the ramp but nothing after. Solenoid is clicking. New key switch and nothing but clicking solenoid. Jump solenoid and...
Im a die hard lifelong Bears fan so I know hot garbage QB play when I see it. Fields was not an NFL ready QB out of school and had some very bad coaching in his 3 seasons with the Bears yet improved...
So I bought and installed the group 31 X2 power agm battery. Just tried bumping the starter and it engaged everytime. About 7 tries. Im not able to get out on the water this weekend but should go...
The battery is only 700CCA but the manual says 650 minimum. I only have a plastic whistle and a float on the key ring. I ordered a new switch anyway to try. I will test the battery cables and...
Well my issue is back.....
Made a run down the lake about 15 miles and fished for a few hours went to fire up and nothing with the key but solenoid is clicking. Brand new solenoid in november. I...
I couldnt agree more. The spawn last year was amazing apparently. Ive never seen the amount of 6-8" bass chase every lure like this past fall. Im very excited for mead to be healthy for a couple...
As a long time Dale Earnhardt fan this awesome. A lap ahead! Love it
I had same with my 04 188. I leave bilge compartment open and have no more smell. May take some time to go away but it will.
Never had any fuel in the bilge just an odor
Ive been in my 188 elite for 4 years now and could not be happier. Great boat and a great ride for a sub 19ft rig. If I was looking I would go buy if motor runs and hull hasnt been abused.
Thanks Champ 2001 and Illinfish
Does the settings dial need to be moved back and forth while the engine is running or can I do it with it off?
My tach is jumpy as well
Yes sir put new fiil/drain seals on also. I bought a half dozen of each.
Thank you
So I did pressure and vaccum tests today.
Held 17lbs of pressure for 30 mins
Held 5lbs of vaccum for 15 mins
Put the oil in a bottle and let it sit for hours and only a few dropplets of water in...
I just did the complete water pump kit and the seal for the drive shaft last october when I changed gearcase lube and found water in it then also.
Im hoping I didnt mess that up but wont know...
Well this aint good. Haha
Water in the gearcase but not a shaving of metal on the magnet thankfully.
Ive read a few times that buying the whole seal kit isnt needed and just the few seals I most...
So I took the motor cover off this wknd when she wouldnt crank and could then hear the solenoid click when key turned to start. Jumped solenoid and fired right up. Put the solenoid on when home and...
HAPPY B-DAY Lea! Have a wonderful day!

That was not what I wanted to hear. Haha
Im paranoid of messing with the oiling system at all to get the PDP removed

Ahhh
Thanks. The saga continues
Haha
Little update on this issue. Ive figured out that if I trim motor up until it gets into the tilt range it fires up. I did that in the yard and looked for pinched wires but did not find anything. Cut...
Finally success! Turns out my diagnosis was all wrong. Motor was not starving for fuel it was actually getting to much fuel via the vent from the VST. The float is broken and allowing fuel to be...
