I have a much better handle on fuel consuption now. I too have settled in around 4.5 to 5 gallons per hour average. This is suprisingly better than my 4.3 liter V6 IO average but I think that the...

Rick and Jay,

I have heard nothing but great things about both of you from my dealer...leading me to believe that your lack of response is not intentionally missing.

I am asking you both to...

I am now up to 75 hours on my 02 Launch. Generally, our boat is also "great". This cooler issue is an absolute fiasco! I have temporarily gotten around this poor Assembly/Design/Quality control...

The fixture that the unit sits in has two small brackets that act to secure the unit in the fixture. If they're like mine, each bracket is secured with a small screw and when loosened should allow...

fully extended will make the boat wake quite rounded and keep the hull in a better angle to minimize the wake size.

Prior to making any changes or alterations I would STRONGLY recommend verifying the accuracy of the tach in the boat.

if it's the same system as the 2002, the Bennett self contained electric/hydraulic unit is under the rear seat and can be accessed by taking the rear engine cover/plate. You will see a gage stuck to...

Well, I previously thought that my drain into the bilge must be leaking but...you all are right. there is a hole cut in the floor for the drain but the carpet isn't cut through and so far I can't...

Sorry to hear about your problem. I bought my boat from Silver Lake Marine in Silver Springs NY and they are excellent. Unfortunately for you they aren't very close but I would definitely recommend...

Jay, it's a 2002 Launch.

Today I took a strong concentration of Dawn and water with a scrub brush and cleaned the non skid material. This cleaning was followed up with a treatment of 303 protectant.

Although the problem...

Hey, Jay Warren...Any other ideas besides the 25 to 30 mph forced prime?

I can back up what Jay said. My 02 Launch has the same probem that also gets way worse with more weight. My boat vibrates so bad when weighted heavy and nailed to W.O.T. from a dead stop that you...

Is this the factory installed unit and is it a Lowrance? If so, perhaps the dealer, factory or manufacturer can offer some suggestions.

When the unit is reading 180ft, is the number flashing? If so, then the unit has "lost" the bottom. You may want to check to be sure that the transducer under the boat is clean.

We have a 2002 Launch with the 320hp throttle body EFI. We came out of a 1989 19ft runabout with a 4.3 Mercruiser and a 17pitch stainless prop.

What I have found is that when cruising,...

If you disconnect the battery from the boat at the ground and put a volt meter in line between the two, you will detect voltage draw on the meter. This should allow you to track down the circuit...

does anyone have a solution to the black rubber material coming off on peoples feet and tracking into the boat? I am constantly wiping them off inside the boat.

I hope that someone is still working on the air locking ballast system pumps problem. I have tried the taking the boat up to 25 to 30 to \"force prime\" the system. This only seems to help at best. ...
