Also check the voltage at the coil. Check your neutral switch at the throttle. I can't remember if that switch stops the engine from turning over or just kills the power to the coil.

You have not mentioned fuel filters. I don't know if you have primary and secondary filters. But that would be the first place I would look at. Than take off the fuel supply hose of both engines, just to see if fuel is flowing. I would use the starboard fuel line, a base line. In other words, if...

Be very carful what you buy on Amazon for your boat. Some of it is from China and its junk.

Not to debate the point. I have gone on on beautiful days and I never forget one 4th of July night. On the return trips, we hit fog. On the first time, my wife said "I am buying the boat radar" and she did. In the fog I had follow my GPS trail back doing 6 to 7 knots to avoid lobster traps...

I agree. But I have gone out and the weather can turn on you.

Oh, love the pics

I highly suggest a windless. With out one, I would suggest ether a cam cleat or clam cleat. In rough waters, when the bow goes down, pull the line/rode up. With the rode in the cleat, as the boat goes up the cleat will take the load. Not you, which would try to pull you over the bow.

I "think" they are talking about a 2nd anchor. Which you should have on board.

Point well taken! I had a jet ski ask me. "Which side of the buoys should I be on?"

In Mass, you can go on-line or a in person class. I do know that the on line is free from the stat's site. https://www.boat-ed.com/massachusetts/sign-up/ I am glad this is being done. There are too many recreational boaters that just don't understand the rules.

By 2026, Boaters Safety Certificate is required in Mass. So Mass boaters beware of this.

My last boat was new and the screen was filled with small plastic pieces. I would bet from drilling holes into the tank for the hoses. I would not get crazy with the wiring diagram. The breaker must be on the DC panel. Turn the breaker on, do you have power at the pump. If no, pull the panel...

I would also use a meter to see if the pump is getting 12V.

Have you cleaned the screen at the pump.

I have been using Mobil One for years in my twin 4.3L Volvos. Sold that boat 4 years ago. And my new to me boat with two diesel engines runs just fine with it. All good! Both products I would use. But Mobil One has a bigger market which lowers the price.

Here is an App that I use all the time for boating. https://www.predictwind.com/

Personal, I would not drain an open system. By leaving the AF in, you not putting air into the system. Air will cause rust to form. But thats me......

If it was my boat. I would change the fuel filter first. My bigger point is and if you think its the fuel? I would use a 6gal potable tank and run the engine from that. That may save you from pumping the fuel out. The other thing I would do, after the filter. Change the impeller! If its been...

Go to Defender.com I am sure they will have what your looking for.
