  1. I always email then I have a track of whats been said. If dealer / broker can't be bothered then neither can I. When looking last year two sellers lost my potential custom due to their brokers lack of ability to answer me. When I tracked down the sellers both were horrified.

    Ended up buying a boat miles away from an absolute brilliant broker who could not have been more helpful.

  2. The thru hull B744 will not work with new chartplotter and it's so old no adapter cables are available. New ones are upwards of £400 and the old one will be an absolute pig to remove as they are bonded into the fairing.

    I'm going to try a Vexilar SP200 from the states as it will run on navionics app which I already have, May have to do as JDP suggests until next time boat comes out of water.

     

    The woes of old electronics - nothing is compatible and you end up having to start again!

  3. @KennyPowers If this is the merc 60hp there is a known problem with the powerhead gasket / grommet disintegrating. Make sure when it's repaired that they use the updated merc kit as below.

    "That'll be the grommet closed up where the water pipe meets the adaptor plate. It's a common problem, we've done 2 this week. Mercury have a re work kit to solve it!

    You'll need a 32-897971A01 water tube/seal kit, 27-892320001 adapter plate gasket, 27-892319001 powerhead gasket, 10-4007455 bolt, as it usually snaps when you remove it. £164.45 incl vat!!!!!!"
