- Forum: Wellcraft Boats Forum
Anybody know how to get this shifter out? Handle is off and I'm ready to remove the 3 plate screws. This will leave it hanging in its little area. Removed the panel containing the speakers and the cables go through a very small area. No way to feel the back of the shifter from either direction. The shifter has to come out its mounting hole. What's the trick? Thanks in advance!

Hi:
I repowered my 1995 218CCF with a 275 Verado. I suspect it was mounted too low. I'm trying to figure out the correct way to measure this. The transom is "stepped" in the back of the boat. I'm told I need to measure from the main hull, and I don't want the anti-cavitation plate sitting under water. On Plane the wake sure seems dirty...which has me wondering about this.Is this able to be measured with the boat at the dock sitting idle, or should I try to get a picture to measure On Plane? I had the engine mounted at the shop I bought it from. I just feel there should be more with this engine. Or am I just looking for more to do to the boat?

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
I have a1996 190ccf center console, I just purchased boat and owner said everything worked. But I can't get water to pump into live well. I don't hear anything running when I got my head inside of fish box. I know it empty by gravity but I can't find the live well pump to check it out. The so called fish box keeps water in it. May be couple of gallons or 3. Is there a drain in the box that might be stopped up and if so where does the water run out too.
There is no switch on dash for maceration pump there is a live well switch.

View the latest post Livewell drain on brand new 202
- Posted by: CandJ202 » Sun Mar 20, 2022 12:04 pm
- Forum: Wellcraft Boats Forum
Hello,
My husband and I just received our brand new 2022, 202. We are struggling with how to get the livewell to completely drain. On the trailer we tested the drain and can see water draining...at various rates of flow, at times a trickle. The last 3-4 inches in the livewell won't drain, even after trailered home for over an hour. When on the water, it only seems to drain once we are moving at a high speed. Still, it is very slow. When we pull the plug we don't feel any sort of suction. A pinky finger in the drain, seems to be met with a small obstruction. We have only actually used the livewell to learn how to use it and have only have lake water in it.
Any tips? Is this a possibility warranty claim?
C and J

Hey Yall
Sold my last boat 10 years ago (1997 26' Seacat Catamaran SL5)
Now that Grandkids are growing up decided to get a Freshwater Ski/Wakeboard/Runabout
Found a meticulously maintained '97 Eclipse 2000 ss with the 5.7 Merc and Alpha1 - Stored on racks at the marina and a stack of yearly maint records and a bunch of break fix engine components going back 11 years
Been getting some upgrades done ie: Self rise pistons for the Back sun lounger . Replacing the old Hummingbird digital depth gauge for a Hawkeye in dash . New Anchor list base etc
Wondering if there are some Older bowrider boat owners out there who have tried a Wake tower on a similar or identical vessel
I checking mounting points it seems Wellcraft used a hull liner insert in the Gunnells and I'm wondering how yall dealt with that. Manufacturer requires 3/8" min thickness to Mount the Hardware
Pic of day of purchase and a pic of an identical boat with a tower
Thanks and good to be here !

- Forum: Engines, Transmissions & Drives
I just purchased a new 2022 242 Fisherman and want to add a 9.9 pro kicker. My question is has anyone put a kicker motor on and if so how far apart are the centerlines of the main motor and the kicker? I have a 300 verado xl for a main motor. I will also be installing a garmin reactor 40 autopilot on the kicker.

- Posted by: jkbuck » Sun Mar 13, 2022 11:23 am
- Forum: Electronics & Navigation
I am a new Wellcraft owner and would like to know if anyone can give me a good location to mount the transducer. I have a lowrance 3 in 1 transducer for an elite fs 9. I wanted to flush mount it under the step at the rear of the transom, but the transducer sticks out past the step. Will that effect the signal in any way, or is there a better place, not thru the hull, to mount it? Thanks for the help.
