  1. On my '97 Elite there is brown and orange wires running under the starboard back seat (behind driver). These connect to the electric actuator for the engine hatch. Connecting these ends to a battery will either raise or lower the hatch depending which way they are connected. Main engine breaker is a big red button near the top of the motor by the ski pole mount.
  2. That ski wake is smaller than my '97 elite-v's....

  3. Who is watching the ECLISPE ??

    Bobby Elite replied to carguy79ta's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    Just viewed through a welding mask in NH, we are at the 50-60% totality line
  4. Ditto, I thought something was getting heat soak. Tighten the wires!
  5. I have a very different boat but had similar issue. Turned out that the bolt holding the power cable to starter wasn't tight enough. I would tighten the posts on the batteries and the starter. Mine felt tight, but after snugging everything down I haven't had any starting issues.

  6. How many hours do you have?

    Bobby Elite replied to Fivebar2's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    Bought my boat in early '16 with 330 hours, I just rolled over 580. My season is taking a hit because they are draining my river for a month

  7. Waterproofing my cover?

    Bobby Elite replied to Hendo's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    This is what I use, pray on with garden sprayer. The water beads right off the cover and doesn't soak in, My cover is at least 10 years old

  8. Deckadence Flooring

    Bobby Elite replied to JJOcean's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    Admin PM'ed me 2 months ago saying 2017 deal had been finalized. Have not seen it get posted yet though
  9. On my boat there is a shorter board on each side at the front of the engine compartment (behind seat backs) these need to be removed before the dividers can be removed. After that its just a little twisting and angling it to get it out of the locker, although I usually just lay them flat on the floor, it's a pain to figure out how to get them back in

  10. Filling gas on boats on lift/in water

    Bobby Elite replied to WakeDoc's topic in Off Topic

    $30 craigslist 25 Gallon Fuel Caddy on wheels with a rubber garden hose. Can't imagine doing it any other way. Fill boat shut caddy ball valve detach caddy side of hose coil up hose pushing gas left in hose to boat pull hose out of boat I dont spill a drop.
  11. I have a walter v-drive manual for my 97 elite v I will scan after lunch not sure if your motor is same but this is the engine manual I use download.brunswick-marine.com/filereader/file/pdf/4/enen/mercruiser/.../54124.pdf There were no boat specific manuals back then, just manuals for the engines and drives
  12. I think it will work with any pressure, but I haven't played with a speedo so didn't want to recommend putting water directly into it! I do have one pitot line that drips water on my foot though, so maybe it would be ok?
  13. Ditto, for all my gauges...couple smacks and they usually come back
  14. I would see if you can test the speedo gauge by taking it out and applying air pressure to see if it's reading, if it is the line or pitot must be clogged...
  15. Holy smokes, the dock lighting kit starts at $1,700
  16. Green was recommended as their brightest in murky water it also happens to be the color of my boat. the photos/videos of blue look very bright too

  17. CRAIGSLIST FINDS

    Bobby Elite replied to CrewAdmin's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    https://nh.craigslist.org/boa/6067356517.html This thing looks like it would haul with a 250-300hp!
  18. The instructions that come with perfect pass are really straight forward and have tons of pictures. I'll be installing mine in the next week or two
  19. My green Y-Knot triple is plenty bright in murky river water, my boat does not have any wake plates
  20. I really like my triple drain plug light. as simple as it gets

  21. CREW DEAL: 2015 DECKadence Marine Flooring

    Bobby Elite replied to CrewAdmin's topic in Crew Deals

    My pm to Admin is still unread/unanswered
  22. On off is wicked nasty, it smokes when it hits the algae. I use a face mask, glasses and thick rubber gloves, I wrap the trailer in painters plastic. My boat stays in a black river all summer it gets wicked nasty. Slimy grimy does nothing to my algae growth.
  23. on off acid cleaner in a garden sprayer, apply, scrub with long handled brush and is comes right off. The bunk carpet cleans where the boat sits on em

  24. 2000 Eclipse Purchase DD

    Bobby Elite replied to prerunnerseth's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    Keep hunting, I got my Elite V-drive for not much more $ Even with a ski hull, a v-drive is going to help a lot with the weight in the back Also if you ever entertain, the seating is so much better

  25. Mooring Whips, Pros/Cons and Best Brand?

    Bobby Elite replied to WakeDoc's topic in Watersports & Related Gear

    If your dock is beating up your boat they are great...until your wakeboard rack rips one off the dock. I had used 14' heavy duty whips for 2 years, they go brittle and snap after a few years. I have heard good things about the mooring arms and they probably last longer Now I have floating dock and boat moored perpendicular to the shore, they all move together only needing a fender
