    I did remove the cooler and got everything installed but haven't been out to test it yet. I thought about both issues that you mentioned. I installed a shutoff on the line running to the forward...

    I think there's also a safety that's somehow tied in to the oil pressure. Might be a stretch but maybe there's a fault with the oil pressure sending unit that is causing it to cut power to the fuel...

    Surf ballast idea

    Just thought I'd share my plans and see if anyone has tried anything similar. I've got an '06 21v and just upgraded the ballast, 1180 in front and 750's in the back. Since I've still got the...

    I've had the vapor lock issue on my '06 21v since the first time I took it out brand new. I've now got a 2 year old and a 4 year old and this is the first year we've been able to start spending a...

    Just a thought but I hope they put new bolts in and saved the ones that worked their way out. Due to the application the bolts are used for and the relatively low torque specs for them I'd guess...

    I know that feeling well. I went through an entire season where it was standard procedure to bleed the vapor out of the fuel line with the let off valve on the fuel pressure gauge I had to install.

    Another simple check would be the spark plugs. Too much gap can cause it to be hard starting when hot.

    I had the screws back out on my '06 when I picked it up after I bought it. Same result, the weight of the mirror snapped the welds on the support bracket on the back of the arm. Luckily, I didn't...

    It sounds like you've got bigger problems at the moment but I'd also rethink the starting issue as well unless you can see that something is definitely wrong with the cables. The cables getting hot...

    It's possible you had an air leak from the seal on the filter that kept the pump from drawing enough water. Checking the filter may have sealed it correctly when you put it back on.

    I feel for you because I had numerous problems with my '06 21V, including the vapor locking, which seems to be fixed now. The biggest difference seems to be that they did a good job taking care of...

    I can't say for sure by 19's sound a little light for that motor. I'd rather go bigger to be on the safe side instead of running injectors that are too small and causing a lean condition that could...

    Yes, at 20 even without ballast the 21v will still throw a pretty sizeable wake.

    Have you ever checked to see if the lights or eye are below the water level? I would think you'd have to severely weight the front of the boat to even get those points below the water line, to the...

    Your problem sounds exactly like what happened repeatedly to my '06. It ended up being vapor lock and it was almost a given that every time I stopped the boat for while with a hot motor it would...

    Help w/gelcoat stains from gas

    I've never had a problem with those fittings on my last boat or current one. I wonder if the 340 with the cats is generating enough additional heat to cause the problem.

    Could be a lot of things. Fuel filter sounds like the easiest most common sense place to start. You should definitely be pulling more rpm at WOT that's for sure. Other things that come to mind off...

    I don't know what I'd do without the bungee cords I keep in my boat. Some of the best ones I've found were at Walmart. They're pretty long and the length is adjustable on them. I use them for just...
