I took it to Lake Washington for shake down cruze. It didn't fast 10 minutes. I had to be towed off lake as it would not restart and the kicker was not getting gas from main tank. Local boat shop had overhauled both motors less than 6 months ago. The boat had been back out on the water 6 times since overhaul. Previous owner has spoken with boat shop.

I have been boating, servicing boats, selling boats (aluminum is my specialty), helping people, educating those less familiar with boats, and fishing for years. If you have a question feel free to ask. Jet drives, Inboards, outboards, trolling motors, etc. This is the forum/ discussion board that I will check on this new site. I don't charge to share my knowledge. Happy boating. Theboatman.

The one that looks like the most promising is the humminbird 788ci with the Navionics bundle. Anyone have any other suggestions or ideas for $1000 or less?

Part of my prep work for taking the boat out is greasing the bearings. I usually hit it with about 3 to 4 pumps per wheel every time I take it out which is about 2 or 3 times a week. Is this too much? Not enough?
