Re: Water Ballast pump out
My only question would be, how much water remains in the tank when the water seal vanishes at the rear valve opening? If significant, would a positive displacement bilge pump with a low intake be a better way to go? If you close up the fill valve when it starts to bubble you can get almost if not al...

Re: New Engine Advice for the 26X

Getting a new outboard is going to be more about how the dealer takes care of you service after the sale. Talk to some local buyers see how their se...

Re: Blowing down the ballast
I'm reading everyone's replies and still didn't answer his question. I use a high volume inflator to drain my ballast tank at the dock sometimes and the key is to put a rubber bushing on the blower nozzle so it creates a good seal on your air vent (if you don't have the hose extension) and Only ope...

Re: Novice Mac 26M Owner/Furler Pin Movement
I added a eyelet to top of the mast and run a 1/4 inch line from it to the bolt where the mast mounts for road travel, that is my safety line. I did just replaced the forestay with the BWY up graded forestay, and made new standing rigging myself. Should be good for another 15 years.

Re: Fuel filter placement?
Should a water separating fuel filter be placed before or after the primer ball in the fuel line to the motor? I mount my filter after the primer ball, for two reasons, the primer ball seems to let dirt ( if you have any in the fuel ) settle in it, and when changing the filter you can use the prime...
