My Honda 150 had a blown fuse I caused while replacing one gauge...what I did wrong was touch the negative to a positive connector on the gauge causing the blown fuse under the motor cover!

Thanks for the excellent advice. I'll post a couple of photos of the "fix". I ended up finding the yellow and blue wires at the stern after removing the gas tank. The tank was not fastened except for four screws that I could reach. Then it was a matter of getting rid of fuel and...

Bob, I was attempting the latter fix. My problem is all I can see is an empty hole ...no wires protruding! So then I removed all visible screws from the gas tank but it won't budge! I an now running the motor now to empty the tank 1/4 full. I imagine the factory put fasteners on the tank in...

Hello, I am stumped...I had to replace the port side trim tab actuator. (long sad story)..on 2017 Venture 23' C-Dory. After taking out 3 bolts I cut the wires as close as possible to the mating surface of the broken actuator. The hole in the transom shows no remaining wires to grab! From...

Hello Mike, I didn't know I was taking the boat you planned for the boat show, ("the 23' Venture we had rigged for the show went to its new home in NC last Tuesday")...I'm not sorry just surprised! LOL The boat is well off here in NC. If anyone insists on a ride, send them up...glad to take...

So now for the important stuff. Where should I place the boats name, on the white sides below the windows or on the maroon stripe towards the rear? ? How large of letters should I use? Decisions, decisions! :smiled

The only splash so far was in Florida on the day of purchase. Home the next day I could not account for all the small red spots raised on both my arms and back. Then I recalled, at the ramp the guys from Three Rivers Marina and I were attacked by swarms of little insects, noseeums. Nasty...

I made the trip to Chrystal River, Fla. and back home to Charlotte...time down 8.5 hours, time back 9 hours towing my new Venture 23!. I had a very good experience the three days. The drive down was easy, starting out at 5:30 AM. The drive back was a little more eventful. The boat...

I getting a 5 AM start for Crystal River Florida tomorrow morning. I will most likely come home with my decision! If you pressed me right now I's say the Venture 23' will be my choice. The available boats are C 25 C 2 and C Venture 23. Wish me luck!!

Thanks for the replies. As to my budget, I am also considering buying new, but I would prefer to keep the $ under 80 K. My plans for the boat are for Carolina coastal crushing; Albamarle sound, inner coastal, Charleston harbor etc. My wife is willing to take a long trip to Boston...

I am brand new to this forum, but I myself am far from brand new! Let's just say I was around when we had a really great leader in the white house, Dwight D. Eisenhower. If I knew I would live this long I would have taken better care of myself! I joined up here to try and find a boat to...
