The drainable are only allowed for gas outboards I am told. Mine is in the bilge also so there is some risk. I like being able to inspect/quantify any contaminants. I find monitoring and maintaining the fuel and battery prevent a lot of issues.

I have a 300hp Yamaha on the 23DVCC Parker

I drain the clear bowl on my Racor every other trip and usually remove a half of teaspoon of water with particulate mater from the marine fuel.

Towing my 10000lb travel trailer with my F250 in the mountains or my Parker in Florida with my F150 I always kept the tow capacity and load capacity at 2/3 of the truck rated capacity.

Spent $ 7000 replacing my 15 year old tank. Started with vapors in the console and progressively got worse.

My development has a very nice pier in Key Largo with slips for docking boats. 2 or 3 swamp every year with the transom to the weather. My 23DVCC Parker is moored to 1000 pounds of concrete with 2 heavy chains to the bow eye I change every 5 years. We just had a week of very windy weather of 30...

Thank you. I am planning on getting one in the fall when I fish the patch reefs in 2.5 ft seas and thought the 84 inch shaft was the proper length.

Your trolling motor is a 84 inch shaft on the 23DVCC ??

My only dissapointment was the fuel tank failure after 15 years. My new tank is a much heavier gauge aluminum and is coated.

I have 6 Spinfisher V ranging from 8500 to 10050. I fish them very hard. I buy the Plus Plan Warranty for $24.00 at West Marine and trade them in for a NEW one every 34 months.

Saw only 2 23DVCC in 15 years in South Florida used. Bought mine in 2010 a 2001 model. Bought only the boat, no engine or trailer for $18,500. Put a new 250 Yamaha electronics ect. 48K in it. Re powered it in 2015 with a 300hp, difference is 4 more knots.

My friend ordered a 96 inch one for his 30 ft Ocean Master last month from the vendor you hooked us up with , used it for the first time today in 1.5 knot current 1.5 ft sea in 100ft. It was terrific, he is sorry he bought a windless last year. I am considering one now. Some what concerned about...

I don't often back down on a fish or ever go into a hard reverse even with my full transom 23DVCC in the open ocean and NEVER anchor from the stern. When I see people with a notched transom do those things I cringe.

July thru September, the water temperature is 85-86 in the Keys, so in the shade, Directly on the ocean, under my Tiki hut with our prevailing South breeze it is about 84 degrees and 75% humidity . Travel inland 1/4 mile 90 degrees. Fishing has been slow, waiting for grouper season to open up...

Great experiment! 82% humidity this morning 83 degrees at 10 AM

I ran a 3 month experiment filling my car every week with marine fuel then alternating to ethanol. I got 3% better gas mileage matching the EPA data on non ethanol vs ethanol.

A friend of mine in the Keys saved a $1000 dollars putting cheaper ethanol fuel in his boat and 8 months later spent $1200 repeatedly removing and cleaning the water from the tank, replacing all fuel/water seperators. The water float alarm on the 300 Yamaha was triggered, almost got sucked...

Short answer, NON ethanol, Marine Fuel Only, 90 octane in my area. You risk a very nasty "Phase Separation " in your vented non pressurized fuel tank with ethanol gas mixture.

My 23DVCC 2001 recieved it's first bottom coat in 2015 after being stored on a rack prior. I had a large marina in Key Largo, pressure wash and lightly sand where necessary the hull which was already in good shape, apply a primer coat then 2 coats of West Marine PCA, 3 coats in the stern and...
