    @help Fuel leak/fuel smell

    Thank you for the additional replies. As an update, I had stored the boat overnight with the tongue jack as high as it would go. Upon inspection this morning there did not appear to be any other fuel on the floor of the fuel tank compartment. I took the boat out and ran it for 20 minutes and...

    @help Fuel leak/fuel smell

    In other words, a PITA to troubleshoot.

    @help Fuel leak/fuel smell

    I like the way you think! Perhaps when the fuel is sloshing around in the tank it is coming out of the one of the fittings. We will see. I may try driving the boat with the fuel cover hatch off and keeping an eye on it. Any concerns with this?

    @help Fuel leak/fuel smell

    Yes Bruce, that is the plan. I see that Yamaha Sports Plaza has the tank for $437. Of course there are many other parts in the gas tank assemble as well. Of course, hoping it isn't the tank, but will do what I need to to make it right.

    @help Fuel leak/fuel smell

    Re-Cap: Took the boat out today for the first time this season. Fuel had been topped off as part of the winterizing routine as always. Upon prepping the boat for launch, my wife and I noticed fuel smell, but wrote it off to the boat being under cover in storage for the past 7 months. Open...

    In regards to the vent line, where does that appear?

    @help Fuel leak/fuel smell

    Thank you for replies. I got the boat back to the marina and drove the family back home. Heading back to marina to look at it now and check all connections. Good idea on the oil extractor. This was the first time out with boat this season and the gas was topped off before I put it away at the...

    @help Fuel leak/fuel smell

    Ok. Thanks. Going to run it back to the marina, get the family off and take a closer look. I appreciate any other thoughts as well. Just hoping it is not s leak in the tank. Thoughts about getting the fuel on the floor of the compartment removed?

    @help Fuel leak/fuel smell

    Hey @HELP Guys - on the boat (2011 AR240) for the first time this season with the family. Noticing stronger than normal gas smell from different storage compartments. While at anchor I was poking around and removed the fuel hatch cover. Under the tank I see some fluid pudding ( maybe a 1/4")...

    Bow seat backrest hinge mod

    I like it! The lack of a dedicated trash can is an issue on many of our boats.

    Back at the marina

    IMO, the value of the warranty is the engine coverage. It is really the only thing that scares me on a boat. As you also mentioned, when buying a new boat (similar to an auto), a huge part of the value is having the dealer close by. While I am a Yamaha owner, I have always been a Chaparral...

    Table Leg Replacement

    My boat is still in storage, but does anyone know if the mount that is attached to the table is removable or is it molded into the table?

    Table Leg Replacement

    Please update when you get your hands on it. I am looking to mount a solar panel to the leg to serve as a trickle charger. Thanks.

    New Seadek Just Installed on my Chap 2430 VRX

    Looks great! I love the how the green accent color matches the boat perfectly. Install job looks nice as well.

    Questions for those who dry dock

    I store my boat at the marina on my own trailer. I use the boat weekly and haven't had an issue with battery drainage. That said, I intend to install a solar charger for those times that the boat sits longer than expected. I like this arrangement vs. the rack, but I think the rack offers...

    Winterizing boat

    I am in Syracuse, New York and the off-season is about 7 months with crazy amounts of snow and ice cold temps. My boat is also in a unheated barn for the winter and I do exactly what Julian posted in the upper portion of his message. Boat still runs and looks like new.
