Boat fixed.

Post by smile0784 » Tue Feb 05, 2019 4:15 pm

Just put the boat away after in was down at Davey marine for a week ish.

Diagnosis most likely was fuel line break down putting little bits of plastic bits threw the water seperator, fuel bulb and fuel filter.

So the floor came up and all fuel lines replaced and got a service while it was there and got the breakers done on the trailer..

So hopefully get out in a week or so to see the f problems have resolved before Bermagui trip.

Did they send you pics of so called stuff in the fuel filter?

I'd think that if that was the case the motor would be stalling constantly.
Your symptoms were cold start issues.

But im no marine mechanic. Hope that the problem is fixed.
Did they change the anode on the motor leg?

They kept the parts for me to look at and cut the old fuel line and cut it and showed me the bits that falled out.

They wait it was a build up each time.i started up and then the fuel pump would pressurises the line.

Na I forgot about the anode.

Ok that's good then. Yeah change that anode asap.
They should have picked that up themselves tbh.
