WOW what a ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

couldn't wait till sunday, spashed it first thing sat morning got a couple hrs on it b4 prior commitments, ran great. Then got to play on it all day today.could only get about 65 out of her today with 2 people and a full tank,but still learning how to drive it, handled the 1-2 foot chop great but my wife didn't like the 3-4 out in the lake that much,she'll get used to it when she has more seat time :D

still no oil pressure gauge,checked the conections on the gauge seemed tight and clean, anyone know how to test the sender and where it is on the block,think I found it near the dipstick tube?

Fume detector was going off also,smelled some gear oil from an opened bottle under the back seat,couldn't see any fuel leaking or smell any gas fumes,any ideas??? I just shut it off

At the end of the day also when disconnected from the truck heard water drippin from inside the hull about the area of the porta john locker,checked under the cabin couches no water in those compartments, and very small amount of water in the bilge area under the motor............from the rain???


other than those couple of questions it was above and beyond for a 97 ran and drove like new :D :D :D :D

oh yeah and more pics............

No pop ups but it was probably rain coming in tthrough the cockpit cover no support pole,just sounded weird when jacked the boat up,

gauge looks like electric but just looked didn't mess with it to much was having to much fun

would that open gear lube bottle trigger the fume detector?
never had one B4 always used my own sniffer

thanks, Mike

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 
is ther a sencitivity adjustment? you an efi motor so you shouldn't have any gas fumes unless a line to the fuel pump or fuel rail is loose. or ck around the injectors on the intake and make sure they are not leaking. could be dryed out O rings but I dought it.

just 3 buttons on it ,test,on,off

took the sesnor out of the mount had some corrosion on the pins,but don't smell any gas leaks or see anything with or without engine running, guessing the detector is bad

Show her the picture....My wife brought the boat about 15-20 miles this last saturday to pick me up at another marina, docked it and all ( I was a bit nervous with the docking part of it) :eek: :D

The guys at our marina were looking around for me when the boat came out on the forklift and her and my daughter were the only ones standing there. :D

I'd love to change the scheme on our boat. Ours is painted by Kangaroo graphics exactly like a 37 straight V from the late 90's. I still like the paint but every once in a while I get a bug about changing it up :rolleyes:
