if you had your plug wires off for any reason I would
check to be sure they didn't get crossed.

As you face the engine(s) you will see a large red button on the left side marked

Bertram 26 FBSF w/IO’s 1976/77. Hull reintroduced early 80’s sans bridge
and IO’s. Convertible Inboard powered and some outboards.

Examples in the SEAL museum at Fort Pierce.
The 11 PBRs delivered in March 1966 and the approximately 300 delivered over the next few years to the U.S. and South Vietnamese military were based on a pleasure boat design constructed by Uniflite.

Actually a 1976 Bertram 26' FBSF dual station which I owned for the last 33 years.

Chanse

Thanks guys! Scenario, That's got to be alot of work, just the thought of wrestling with the wiring gives me the chills. Fortunately This one folds down and lays back on brackets that support it. I can raise it at home when I take it out of storage and haul it 1 mile to the ramp to launch. The local...

Carl,
Sometimes you gotta take a chanse!
Capt Pat did, he gave me the name after I had requested
"justanothercapt" or something like that.

Chanse

Carl, This was made for the Jessica Lee a 1976 26' FBSF in San Diego area. The boat was for sale there many years ago, I liked the arch so I had saved a pic of the boat for that reason. Well a couple of years ago the boat showed up for sale in Chicago, I chatted with the owner then forgot about it. ...

Chanse

Finally got my arch, I did the install & wiring. I consider myself fortunate to have found it.
What do you think?

Hynautic rebuilds fast turnaround.

Added more pressure to the reservoir abt 50 lbs keep oil up around 3/4. cracking lines to bleed upper station 4 or 5 times. when feeling the wheel bite applying pressure at wheel both directions to squeeze out more bubbles also turning lower. Dropped reservoir pressure to 15 lbs. Seems OK now but af...

Chanse

This reservoir doesn’t have the bleeder block but I know what you mean.
Looks like valves on ends of steering cylinder. May go there. Going at it
tomorrow AM we have a plan. When bleed out and functioning correctly is that the working pressure 15 Lbs?

Chanse

Hynautic H26S that was leaking oil on my 1976 B26 now rebuilt and reinstalled on upper station. Added oil to reservoir about ¾ full, pumped air to about 35 Lbs. I cannot find any purge valves, don’t believe there is any. Cracked upper hoses until some air and steady fluid comes out. Still no steerin...

Chanse

Thanks Bruce, reply appreciated. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Time to replace the fuel sender in my 130 Gal Aluminum Gas tank on my B26.
Seeking recommendations for a reliable unit.
Thank You.

Dam the traffic, to the ramp for a days fishing!

I've had some similiar issues and found this interesting:

Chanse

I’ve been told ATF makes steering a bit stiff, but then again steering with
OUZO in your system would most likely do the same anyway.

Chanse

Had same expierance, lost upper steering. H-20 series fluid leak. Will pull unit for a rebuild.

HotSpot. You Got Talent! Looks Great.
Sounds like your doing what I did for years...Chicago burbs to the County, Over & Over.

HotSpot, 18" never any problems, it has stood the test of time!

HotSpot, you have a great boat and you are in one of the finest boating areas there is. In time you will discover Washington, Plum, Rock, St. Martins and many other islands and may adventure to Fayette and Escanaba, Mi. Many places to discover many memories to be made.

HP Looks like I won a bet, Ellison Bay Bluff! Haulin' butt from Nicolet Bay perhaps. There are a couple of 25's, I think Fish Creek (MarkS had a few pic's awhile back) and I met a guy that said he has a 25 in Sturgeon Bay and a very recent 38 on the Island from Chicago. Other than my 26 I'm not awar...

Chanse

Hotspot, That pic looks alot like it was taken in Door County?
2017 started upgrading our dock, redecking, running out water & Electric, finished 2018.
Which I could say the fishing was even GOOD!

Chanse

captbone I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea!

Chanse

Yea, I don't like the idea of steel, think I'll stay with the old 25 gal plastic one. I always test the gas before putting any in it so should be OK.

Chanse

Carl, Tony, Thanks for your knowledge and taking the time to respond. Tossing the old fuel caddy just in case and getting a new steel one w/pump and not loaning it out. That should do it I hope.

Chanse

I think I got a problem? Have a private dock, and fuel by a old pre-ethanol built 25 gal fuel caddy that I fill at a local station and use premium non-ethanol. I always test it to be sure. Son-in-law has a new chris w/twin merc 350’s that hes keeping at the dock. Anyway he had a tank 75 gal? To fill...

Chanse

Thanks for the replies, Mindboggling choices on McMaster!
Which of the many options did you think worked the best for scuppers?

Chanse

I need to replace the material in my transom scuppers. Tried snow mobile flap material, too stiff. I'm sure they are perko's.
What kind of material do you guys use for those scuppers and where do you get it? Thanks.

Chanse

Tony, Plenty of ice cubes floating around, still running the ice breaker car ferry. June would be early, Anyway I'm where water and boats move and fish jump, Fl until Apr.
Yep, having lived on the salt for a few years I truly appreciate fresh water.

John Yes, set up for Salmon. Lake Michigan, NE Wisconsin Door County, Washington Island and area. Unfortunately Salmon Fishing is seriously down.

Has anyone been able link a Benmar 220 with a Raymarine C120?

I have a Benmar 220 Autopilot on lower & upper stations also a corded remote. Raymarine C120’s up and down.
I would like to link the 220 into the upper Ray C120.
