What is the process for getting the boat registered?
If i toldya u would be telling me im doing it wrong..
Because epoxy by fastway courier will take weeks to deliver i got some all weather liquid nails to glue in my fuel tank supports, i got a litre of marine varnish to coat my fuel tank supports and fuel tank cavity cover its uv resistant so i can hold off painting
Just need to order a fuel water seperator filter, some fuel hose, and try find some brass fuel hose reducers my tank has 12mm hose outlets my engine takes 6mm hose
Will upload pics as i progress
You sure the engine is only 6mm? all sorts of bits are available (not at Bunnings) to suit.
Yeah its 6mm i dont have a front quick connect connector my hose will be ran from the tank to the engine, i'll be running the 12mm hose from the tank right up to the engine than i'll use a brass fitting to reduce the size
Im just in the process of coating the fuel tank supports and the fuel tank cover piece with the marine varnish
You can buy primer bulbs with different size ends, have a look at those first.
The 75hp and up efi 4 stroke mercury dont run a primer bulb as they have a lift pump (low pressure) and a second pump (high pressure) for the injectors, when i firdt got the engine running i tried to use a primer bulb it just sucked in than read up about the no primer bulb for this model
I'll have my fuel tank in tomorrow and floor down
Grabbed the wrong liquid nails to glue in the fuel tank mounts says on the tube takes 7 days to cure fmd i thought it would have been rock hard by now but its still soft
My fuel tank is a bit dicky just measured my outlet pipe and breether pipe to get some fittings and fuel hose, the breether nipple is a whopping 14mm the fuel hose nipple is 10mm
I have no idea what 14mm fuel hose will cost but it wont be cheap
I bought this stuff for vent hose. From your preferred supplier 'n all ;D

Breathers are normally 1/2" (12.7mm) or 5/8" (15.9mm) so your measurement of 14mm seems a bit whacky. Might want to check it again.
Hey Moph i'd shop on ebay but hardly anyone offers express post i just bought the steering arm and shipping is saying it may take up to the 25th of october to be delivered who really wants to wait 3 weeksfor delivery, i just had two non delivered orders refunded because they took over 3 weeks one was my cabin led lights for the t top very disapounted with the whole postal shit fight atm
BCF was out of stock on fuel water seperators so had to order online from whitworths closes shop i physically cant get to so it may be a bit of a wait for that in the mail
Lookslike my 11th of october maiden will be postponed date will be unavailable untill my stuff arrives by mail
Trailer towed pretty good with the boat on it trailer is getting the vin number now, brakes were a bit smelly or it may have been the car
Just put your hands against the wheel/hub after you drive it...you will feel the heat if the brakes are sticking...
Brakes were rattly i could hear them making a rattle noise as i was driving i think once the pads wear in she'll be fine, thr snell is actually one of the factories and not the trailer or car
