Re: 7.4 GSI not starting after running.

Update: We have been out three times since filling up with ethanal free gas and we have not had an issue since. Need a few more trips to mentally not think about this happening but the boat is running great. Talk about pain at the pump the 92 octane ethanal free here in CA is $9 a gallon! So when ...

Re: 7.4 GSI not starting after running.

Not sure what you mean by over-priming. With the EFI I turn the key, wait for the fuel pumps to stop then turn key to start. No throttle is given, I have the controls it the locked upright position. I do idle the engine before shutting down as I have read that procedure on other post's.
Update ...

Yes and I was wondering if that might be the issue.

7.4 GSI not starting after running.

I am inquiring about a fix for what I believe is vapor lock issue. I have found plenty of posts both for VP and Mercury 7.4 having starting issues after stopping which is what I am experiencing. This gives you a very unnecessary feeling when your way out on a lake with no one around. This last ...

Re: 226 Wakeboard towers with bimini tops

Looks good Idahocowboy. Did you mount it yourself or have it installed? Also looking at the top how difficult is it to reach the tow post and does the rope pull on the top when pulling up a wakeboarder?

226 Wakeboard towers with bimini tops

I have been researching a tower for my 226 and I have found options to choose from. If you own a 226 and have a tower I would like to see your application along with the manufacture name if you know it. Having a bimini top is a must so I would like to see what application you used for the top ...

Re: First intro pics

Just an update on the bimini top repair. I contacted a local upholstery shop that makes & repairs bimini tops and he can bend a new bow to replace the bent bow from my top. The good news is it will be done in a week and will match the exactly. I always try looking next door before searching on line.

Re: First intro pics



I have been stalking and learning from this group for a year and I thought it might be time to make my first post. We were able to get the boat wet this weekend as the weather reached the high 80's. Great day at the lake with the only hitch of breaking the bimini on a high speed run. :shock ...

Re: First intro pics

Just shooting north of 55 when BAM! everything let loose, the wife screamed and the top was toast. Actually it is the front frame tube that is bent up along with the strap clips broken. Any source to replace just the frame tube?
