RacerxV6 Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Performed the 100hr service on the SHO 115. Everything completed with the exception of the impeller. Not sure what this is that came out of the water fuel filter. I feel much better now that it is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernWake Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Looks like plastic from the tank/lines. Could cause a clog. is that water? Hard to see the coloration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerxV6 Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Zero water in the fuel filter, that's just a very little amount of fuel from the filter. I took some of it out and it just disintegrates. Very interesting 2 year old boat and lines are already doing that. Never anything but REC in the tank. In line fuel filter at engine was clean.

RacerxV6 Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 fished a tournament this morning with my daughter. 26 degrees when we launched with 12-15 mph winds felt like 20 or colder. Didn't do well, my buddy won though so that's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went out duck hunting at my old club in eastover SC and it was coming down the whole drive up from Charleston. Very surprised to see it so heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerxV6 Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Crimped the ends on the power cable for the new hummingbird that is going on up front. Figured I would put these Anderson power pole clips on that way in the future if I ever need to remove I just pull apart and go Also crimped on the ends that will get pulled through the conduit to the console. At the console I will use regular spade slide ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerxV6 Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Spent the last two days attempting to feed a fish tape down the tube from the bow to the console for the new bird. I get as far as 6 feet and hit a brick wall. After trying a Nylon fish tape and then buying a metal fish tape thinking a metal one would be better it was a no go. I decided to just tap into the bow light. Figured it doesn’t get used after daybreak and the wiring seems good enough. Here’s some pics. Still need to Mount the base.

Popular Post mxf255 Posted February 7, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Not the best weather today, so I did a little work on the trailer. The previous owner had a blowout that mangled the rear step and fender. A couple of weeks ago, I ran to over to St Cloud with my daughter to pick up the parts. I installed them today and it is solid under foot again. A bonus is that it looks a whole lot better too! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 I increased my insurance coverage on my boat today. Had it insured for what I bought it for. Just watched yet another MA sell for north of 25K (same year, same engine, same equipment). Crazy. So, now I will only be slightly suicidal if a tree falls on her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerxV6, you may have already tried this - it works with conduit over long distances. If it's a semi-sealed tube, you can tie one or two plastic grocery store bags to the end of a pull cord/twine and shape the scrunched plastic bag into a puff ball by shredding/trimming with scissors. Stuff the puff ball into one end of the tube and s*ck the puff ball with pull-cord, with plenty of slack, through the tube with a shop vac on the other end. No fish-tape needed. Might be worth a try if there is a small obstruction in the tube. I would lubricate the wire/cables, and make sure there's nothing that could get hung-up in the tube, before pulling them through if you can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerxV6 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Morning G, I attempted to perform the procedure that you recommend, however the tube comes up short of the console and I cannot see it. I see where the existing wires run for the TM and bow light which happens to be be in that tube. It's just the manufacturer did not run it all the way into the console area and they pre wired everything at the factory. Hence the bore scope to see what I am hitting at approximately 6 feet in. Another buddy of mine recommended that I place a ring around the existing wires and attach to the fish tape so that it follows those wires. If there is no obstruction I may give that a try. I'll post results from this weekend when I attempt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerxV6 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Ok folks here you go. Best I could do with borescope. If I had one that I could focus and move around I probably could get a better shot. Looks to me like the foam collapsed and punctured the tube The one thing I can’t figure out is, what is the other thing. Almost looks like some sort of bug, but I don’t know what. What do you all suggest on how I go about removing the blockage? I am thinking some sort of snake with a drill head type that will bore through it. My concern is the existing wires. I would hate knicking them and exposing bare wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
