time for winter repairs and maintenence
76 v20 cuddywith a 78 175 johnny, i figure its time to do some repairs i been putting off because they will be time consuming. i purchased the boat beginning of last summer and was more interested in using then fixing. Projects i plan on doing this winter:
Install lowrance elite 5 fishfinder and chartplotter i got for x-mas install new cdi coils, plugs and wires Replace head gaskets, diverters, thermostats,and impeller Rebuild carbs Pull and clean saddlebag gas tanks Rewire the rats nest under the dash Rebuild fuel pumps replace every frigging fuel/vent hose on the boat relocate fuel vents Install 15hp nissan kicker motor this is the list i can think of at the moment. I have a quick question for you guys, im sure i will have more as i proceed with these projects. Question number one is how hard is it to remove fuel tanks and clean them out good? looking for tips or previous "ah s***" moments so i know what to watch for. Thanks guys

I have admired your work with the seats and tanks since i first found this site, just isnt in the budget at this point. im not having problems with the factory tanks yet, just want to clean em out and get everything in a reliable condition. other modifications will come eventually, once i have more to spend on them and learn to do fiberglass work. as to the vent fittings, i plan on mounting them right behind where the windshield ends as far up as i can get them. Seems to be the best place especially after reading other posts on that issue. where did you mount the transducer for your elite 5? i was going to put mine right behind the 1st step from the keel on the starboard side.again seems to be the general concensus as to best location. going to shield the transducer wires to avoid interference from other wiring down that side. still got to figure out a good place to mount the unit on the dash though, not alot of room, i think the newer v20s have more of a dashboard

found another thing that needs replaced, thats the fuel water seperator/filter, the part with the fittings has a crack in it. any suggestions on a good one for the application, most of the ones im seeing only have a 15gph max and i know the johnny 175 is thirstier then that when wound up, dont want to risk running lean on the rare occassions i actually go to wot. would perfer to run just one instead of one for each tank.
on an up note, thats probably the reason it was surging at higher rpms last time i went fishing. still doing all the other stuff just to be sure though
