Thread: Dern it. Boat motor no make go.

That's it. The ethanol gas ate it for lunch.

It's florida, I've seen a lot of aluminum eaten alive down here. I'm not near salt water and I've seen aluminum wiring disintegrate like this here too (outside 12 volt lighting). And this boat was used in salt at some point in time, could be that too. And yes, I use ethanol fuel, always premium. Just easier to get. Paying the price now for all this. Oh well, It'll get fixed up, hopefully later today after the PB Blaster soak.

interesting scenario as i just saw an ocean runner with some sort of thing going on similar to your issue .
it was obviously a salt rig center console at some point in its life too
same diagnosis on the no go well thing and bulb pressure and so on .....hmmmmm
a bit older than your rig and was garage kept and really pretty ...but no go is no go you know

Here's an article with pics of Billbob in the boat back when I first got it in 2018. https://www.crappie.com/crappie/cont...ugh-once-again

Seems like such a long time ago. Wow time flies.

My input, use a vacuum when you start disassembling things so you don’t get further junk in the fuel cell. No need for future gremlins.

All that BMW training is paying off. You have great skills my friend. Nice rod holders on that boat too my friend. Them crappie will be in trouble when you get up and going. You have to make up for lost time. Go get them!

Glad that you are getting things back together and will soon be catching them again.
