    Fuel Vapor smell

    Yes I above an access panel to the sender. And I think the fill vent lines are fairly easy to get at. Kids are back in school now so the boat will probably be out of the water soon. I can spend some time with it than. I always run the blower before starting and at low speeds

    Fuel Vapor smell

    No we can’t top off the fuel tank. The attendants fill it for us. It doesn’t matter how much is in the tank it always smells. Even when I open the cockpit cover it stinks till it’s opened up. Once at the sandbar I could get whiffs of it around the fuel fill cap area too

    Fuel Vapor smell

    I bought it used from a dealer. As -is special. It’s a 2003. My friends has a 235ssi with the same smell in the cuddy after it sits a couple days. I can’t imagine trying to sleep in it yet with that smell so I’ll have to look into it more

    Fuel Vapor smell

    Do all Cuddys get a fuel Vapor smell after being closed up for a few days ? There’s no fuel leaks but when we uncover the boat and open the cuddy doors after it sits a few days it smells bad.

    You probably have a spare circuit breaker under the dash that you could use for power.

    Cup holders

    The only thing I miss about my old Rinker is the cup holders everywhere. I’m thinking I could hole saw and add a couple drop ins by the sink ?

    She floats

    She’s at our dock now. Took it out for a good run to the light house at the end of Long Point (Lake Erie ) Rides a lot smooth than our little rinker. Small ticking exhaust manifold leak when it’s cold. Beside that she runs smooth.

    Oil change

    I can’t even get close enough to touch the drain plug. I’ve got long arms but can’t reach it.

    Stereo Upgrade

    That’s what I’m looking for. I had a Garmin echomap in my old boat. I knew it could do a lot more. My radio is in the cuddy so controls from the fish finder would be perfect I just put a second battery in place. Just need to add the wiring and a new switch

    Stereo Upgrade

    That’s a brand I have been looking at. I like their wired remotes.

    Oil change

    I might have to mess with it more next time. The oils really clean now so I may just suck the top of it out to get the level back down.

    Oil change

    Getting to my engine oil drain plug in my 215ss seems impossible. I pumped all the oil Out of the dipstick till nothing was left. I dumped a gallon of oil in but seems overfull after I ran it Is it possible that you can’t get all the oil out pumping out of the dipstick tube ?? My others...

    Stereo Upgrade

    I’m looking to upgrade my am/fm radio to a Bluetooth one. And also upgrade to something that could work with a stern remote on my swim deck to replace the old not working one. I also heard that they can hook into newer fish finders to control the radio from the helm ?
