MikeH Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Looks great! I just did the same. I was hoping to configure the remotes where one remote would control both PPs. However, I was told the old and new versions in essence can't talk to one another. Have you had any luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish5 Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Changed the pump on the older pp, that made them link together, came with the new remotes and new mounted switches, have one on dash, and one on the yeti fish box up front, and two remotes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys do and where do you keep your key for the day you forget? Then Sunday spent 4 hours cleaning her and covering her as she won't hit the water again til the 23rd. Small standard blade screwdriver and a pair of channel locks or vise grips will turn the switch on. Then the next week you can replace the switch or modify your key to fit the slot . Ask me how I know ? 😉🤪 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took my youngest son this a.m. to scout around for trout on a pre-work dawn patrol. We found em! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainsman5 Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 FYI, I went to Bob's Machine shop over in Tampa to pick up a new motor, hoses etc for my jackplate. The original was installed in 2004. Before leaving I opened the box and noticed they only used the nylon (automotive)connectors!?? Obviously, i was shocked. So, I went back inside and explained to them how this motor lives in the bilge and would corrode rather quickly. The "engineer" looked at me like I had 10 heads. I asked them to please replace the connectors with heat shrink or give my money back. Fortunately, they agreed to change out my connectors to heat shrink while I was there. I guess since they ship these motors to either the manufacturer or dealer they never have to deal with the everyday boater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I glued down one of those rust eliminator tabs designed for a tackle box to the top of my jack plate pump, so far it has done a good job keeping rust off. I do treat the wiring and solenoids as disposable but they are easy to replace from an auto parts store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy it by the gallon from Amazon. I even spray my trailer hardware and hubs, as well as lug nuts after I've dunked and rinsed the trailer. https://www.amazon.com/CRC-06008-Marine-Multi-Purpose-Lubricant/dp/B0000AY2HN/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2W15NHJF4QU1O&dchild=1&keywords=cry+6-56&qid=1618968996&sprefix=cry+6%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything in the bilge should use a double heat shrink connection....meaning, use a nylon or heat shrink, crimp it down and then slide heat shrink over the connection, followed by a second longer...lots of work, but, will never corrode...the legend HOBO always used this method....I've seen others, and I use this as well, after you crimp, put 5200, 4200 or liquid tape all over the connection, then slide over a heat shrink and seal it to the connection.....what can happen, even with a Anchor top quality heat shrink is you can get a break in the shrink by the crimper and while you think you have sealed it...that small opening to the corrosion will begin to rust..... it's more work, but, it's a "one" time fix.... On my new AMERATRAIL...i was amazed they only used a straight heat shrink.....I got under the skiff and painted all the connections with liquid tape....very disappointing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatherof4 Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 I spent the last week in the FL Panhandle. After a few days, noticed the steering feeling like air in the lines. Bled the system. Found a leak in the coupler to my hydraulic lines up at the pump under the steering wheel. Took to the shop today to replace BOTH lines. Now, I have a new pump, new lines, and a new ram in the back at the motor. Hopefully, good for years to come. One less thing to worry about.

PGolz Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Took me about 4 days reading here and there when I had time, but today I finished going through all 64 pages of this discussion thread. Figured it was only right being new to the forum and the new owner of a '03 2400V. I must say, my list of things to do on the boat increased substantially after seeing all the great ideas and hard work that has been put into everyone's rigs. I plan on starting a thread for my upcoming restoration over in the Vintage Pathfinder section soon. In the mean time, here is the list of what I've gotten done in the past couple weeks since I got the boat; -Replaced all 3 low pressure pumps, VST filter, VST screen and fuel filters on my '03 Yamaha OX66 225. Thankfully this solved my fuel delivery issues and the motor has been running pretty well. See photo of large tear in old fuel pump diaphragm I pulled out. -Installed Rabuds, has made a huge difference, have not experienced any of the known negatives to them yet -Added console access hatch, love this change, makes work in the console so much easier, pulled out what felt like 100' of abandoned speaker wire from the console.. -Removed and sold old chart plotter on eBay, replaced with a new GO9 unit, yet to install transducer -Troubleshot faulty radio that would not produce sound, determined cheap head unit is blown, new Fusion RA70N head unit on order to feed the existing crappy speakers until I get around to a true audio refit -And earlier this evening, removed old trolling motor mount that made it impossible to get a rope around the front cleat. Now have a bunch of ugly holes up on the bow of the boat. Thinking a piece of starboard will make a nice coverup piece until I am ready to really repair and install a new TM Sideways pictures because I hear y'all like em that way and I don't know how to fix it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whichwaysup Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Nice work Pgolz! That console idea is a great one, every console ought to have that kind of access. Nothing worse than trying to squeeze yourself around the bench seat/leaning post and contort your body into a pretzel to install/clean up/repair wiring! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HewesYourDaddy Posted May 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Put the old girl to rest this weekend after 2 days of beachin’ and hardcore fishing. Cleaned her up and tucked her in..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 No pics, but fixed my broken trailer light mount. Some knucklehead managed to break it off in a parking lot - but didn't damage the light or wiring. Used the opportunity to get the rest of my trailer lights working again - a few of the smaller fender lights had stopped working. Got everything going, but the wiring itself is so rotten it's just a matter of time before it breaks again. Going to have to re-wire the trailer, and looking forward to it. I don't think there is anything more satisfying than having ALL lights working on your boat and trailer! Took the boat out this weekend for a trip on the pamlico sound. 2.5 hour trip each way out to the literal ends of the earth. Absolutely love it out there. Didn't do great - 3 or 4 flounder, 4 trout, and 1 striper, but it was a gorgeous day. Boat ran like a top and I can't imagine how many miles we put on her. Pretty amazing to be out there and look east and see nothing but water . . . but knowing that somewhere over the horizon are the outer banks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
