    I assume your water pump is operational and water tank full since you mentioned the sink and shower. Maybe separate pump for the head? What type of head, vacuflush? If so, is that energized? It took me 8 gals of antifreeze to winterize mine last year, lots of sources to run and protect. I did flush my vacuflush and pour a little extra antifreeze in toilet. But not enough to make it full, and I doubt yours is. Unless the professionals really screwed up, the antifreeze used is non-toxic.

    Thank you. I really think it's two separate issues. You gave me enough to check out the gauges, and I'll check the nozzle as well. Thanks-

    Boat came with 8' and I had trouble a few times last season. Bought 22' more this year, guy gave me 23'. So I'm going in with 31'. If I have trouble holding, I'll pull anchor and fish somewhere else.

    Let's try out the new board.... twin 2002 Yamaha F225s with approx 700 hrs. When I bought the boat last spring, I didn't change the water pumps. I quickly noticed that my port engine had a stronger stream than the other. This was confirmed by the round Yamaha gauges on the dash, which would show about 15 psi for the port and 11 psi for the starboard when running. Had no problems overheating, no alarms all season. But I noted the gauges started reading less and eventually didn't register anything by the end of the year. Just assumed the gauges went bad or something. 1. I replaced both pumps this year and launched this weekend. I noted that the tell tale is again stronger with the port engine- it's stream is solid until it hits the water, the other still has a good stream, but breaks up before it hits the water. Starting to think this may be "normal"? Any suggestions or ideas? 2. Gauges are still screwy. Starboard gauge read 10 psi when running, port read nothing. Can you point me in the right direction on how to diagnose/check out the gauges. Would be nice if they worked and gave me some useful info. I don't even know how they work or where they connect at the engine. Thanks-

    I just purchased two Sears DieHard Platinum PM-1's. Very large, very poweful, lots of reserve. Hoping they pay off.
