I guess that'd put you somewhere around Camp Cory. Some nice coves over there.

Keuka 95 GT-40,
Take a look through this thread, there are a number of different possibilities for a hesitation, and many of them are cheaper fixes than the distributor: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25584&title=poor-mans-gt40-diagnosis |

74 Wind - forgot to ask you before, can you recommend any mechanics on Keuka that could work on our '95 Nautique ? Seagar Marine in Canandaigua is the closest Nautique dealer but I know there are plenty of Nautiques on Keuka.

Keuka 95 - What a great place to be! Love that area - We know the Viking's Owners....
Whatever happened to Harbor Lights? Behind White Lake, I thought they were the second oldest CC dealer...... |

Keuka95: there's a good mechanic on West branch near branchport who has worked on my brothers 72 Southwind for years, I'll get his name.
Air: haven't seen the viking party boat in years, or any for that matter. They beached the Keuka Maid (thank god..an ugly beast) and recently retired the Esperanza Rose, which was a beautiful craft Harbor lights still there but not been cc for years. Don't go there much but have been known to frequent the Lakeside next door.. |

Haha that's funny! My family owned it in the 70's when it was The Vintage. I lived in a little apartment which is right where the dock bar on the right is now. We also ran The Wheel Inn, was that all before your time? Here's a few Waterfront sunday shots from last summer, I like the one with my 83 year old Mom....I hope I'm still rafting at that age... |

Love the pictures !! and thanks for the name at TJ's Marine. Here is a picture from last summer in front of The Waterfront. Just behind my son (showing off his motorbox dance moves) is my 83 year old dad enjoying another summer day. Your brother's boat does look familiar...I will keep an eye out for him this summer.

hey this sounds exactly like my hesitation problem! considering I've fixed darn near everything else that could have caused it.. but wondering.. what does this stator/ hall effect sensor look like? just remove the distributor cap? and once I find it how did you secure the thang if it's loose?? lol thanks for any help.

Not sure if your question got answered but Skidim.com or Nautiqueparts.com will have all your exhaust needs covered.

hey so my reply above wasn't answered.. and my forum thread got 'locked' sheesh..
sounds like I'm having a very similar problem as described at the beginning of this forum.. the distributor looks pretty corroded by the stator etc. wondering now, can i take it apart and clean it? maybe just replace the whole distributor? can i source one at an automotive parts store? I'm here in CA hoping my 4th of July doesn't. suck but the boat gods seem to be mad at me. maybe just the stator is loose like this forum explained? just look in the distributor and wiggle the thing the sensor wires attach to? then secure it w/ silicone glue?? halp!!!! (thanks) Jon |

I don't know if you need a GT40 expert or a boss pro expert but I don't believe the 285HP engine is a GT40. The GT 40 is a 310HP engine. My GT40 distributor has some visible corrosion too but it's functioning fine.

Think it's a GT-40? PCM 5.8 'pro boss' GT-40
It's in a 99 sport nautique.. |

Oh of course. I confused you with another poster with the 92 Barefoot.

Jon, sorry your question got missed. The GT-40 dizzy is available online, but I guess that wouldn't help you for the 4th. Generally marine versions of dizzy' shave extra spark protection, so you wouldn't want an automotive version.

Hey Jon - after a few delays, we finally got our Nautique into the dealer and yesterday I made the trip to Keuka to give the boat a full test run. I'm happy to report the hesitation (skip) issue we experienced when the engine was warm has been fixed ! As my father tells me, the mechanic explained the FCC (fuel control cell) had a fuel line with a kink. The fuel line was replaced, elbow installed, and new fuel line installed from FCC to tank. I can provide more details if necessary. There was some indication of "vapor lock" as a result of the kink from the bad fuel line.
Hope this helps. PS - we survived last summer by making sure we kept the motor box open after a few skiers or if the boat was sitting at the dock for 1-2 hours before we went back out. Our problem never surfaced on a cold engine. |

More info would be great.
Where was the kink? Where did they put the elbow (assuming where the line got kinked). Why did the fuel line need replaced all the way back to the tank? (Deterioration?) Thanks this info may help others down the road. |

You would have to do some research or maybe Mark knows but I thought I heard the auto and marine were the same |

You might be right Gary. I hate to leave someone hanging but maybe that's better than responding with a generalization as an answer.

Same and under 75 bucks w/core from Rockauto vs 500 at marine parts just make sure you get the correct type gear (steel or cast) I'm not sure which ours have. You can also get the inside parts but as Lewy said their a pain to rebuild and for the cost of a new/referb just drop the whole thing in. The only thing you have to do is put silicone in the cap vent, that's how one I ordered from skidim came so I've been getting local since. |

What do you mean by silicone in the cap vent? I see the little cap. What needs to be done? |

The little button looking thing is a vent. Fill with silicone from the inside

So the objective is to seal the vent, correct?

Yes that way gas fumes can't enter the cap and ignite
