No, I have not put gas in her, I was under the understanding that both tanks were full. and yes the gauges read past full. And there should be some variations in the gauges because we have run some. Another petpev that I have is there are no fuel gauges on the fly bridge, the gauges are only on the ...

Another "fun" day on the water!!!

Left the marina Sunday around noon for a quick loop around Kellys Island with the wife and kid. Well on the way back, the port engine dies! Had about a 20 minute ride into the marina with one screw. After several attempts I was able to manuver her into the dock without incident. Now to why the engin...

Got a late start for the weekend and wasnt able to go to the lake until Sunday morning. And thats when the fun started!!! First of all this was our maiden voyage from drydock to our summer spot. The wind was blowing and pushing 3 to 5 footers on Erie. Got to say the F-28 handled it like a champ. she...

cause your turning the distributor and your getting close to being on time but you dont have enough rotation. Sounds like your just off a smidgen.

I think my vac advance lines are also still connected to the distributor, even with the elec. change over.

try capping them off and see what happens.

No those arent speaker wires, they are the wires for the bilge pump, after I took those pictures I did remove the wire caps and put in crimp connectors and coated them with liquid tape. The previous owner really took some short cuts on things that were replaced or added. I couldnt understand disconn...

Dan,
were getting a little late start this spring, but were going to be putting in the water Friday the 22nd. Were mooring at Catawba Moorings and were in slip 81 or 82. I would love to see your boat.

Check JEG's, I beleive they sell conversion kits from points to pointless distributor. very easy to change over. couple ...
