Hello, Can anyone help me please. I have just bought a Fiesta Vee 265 from 1995 and I wonder if there is a switch somewhere on the boat to empty the toilet...
... empty ... The best thing to do is trace the tank discharge hose to learn where it goes--only to the deck pumpout...or to a tee fitting or (hopefully) a...

Hello, I have tested a Bayliner (and other boat brands) before I bought my Fiesta Vee. There is a big difference the way the boats handle the sea. Forget the...
Hello Again, After 30 minutes in almost upside down position (because the engine took most of the engine compartment - I have a 7.4MPI engine)I finally got...
Thanks for that Jesmond. As i don't know much about boating and hull design etc, i greatly value your view. Regards Roy L ... my ... person, ... toying ... get...
