new boat and already leaking problems
Cant help you with the motors problems, thats why I kept my HP500 CARB. motors.
Got your message this weekend tried to call you back but my cell phone was out, we went to the Baltimore Harbor for the weekend.
Next year I have too hook up with you and go to SML,,, I have a place up there and just been using the boat too much to head that way alot.

Rich,
Get a tube of clear 100% pure silicone and put a small bead around the aluminum flange where it meets the deck. That should cure it. Otherwise give it back to Frank and he will take care of it.
The engines seem to all run rich. You might call one of the companies that dial in ECM for some fine-tuning advice.

Re: troubled 37
PAT thanks for the ideas i just got off the phone with merc since i'm a dealer my merc rep can recalibrate the ecus'. the hatch has already been caulked around the metal rim but still leaks. JAMES nice to hear from you.the hatch is a job in it self so i'll wait until barney paints the boat and puts 6 coats of clear on it for that shine and let him take the hatch off. JASS thanks i think PAT did a good job with the paint i'm just going to make the eye of the storm look 3D and give it a better shine hopefully less waxing i wax it every week or so. PAT i think i've heard more people say what a good looking boat than anyother boat i've ever owned.thanks pat
