I went ahead and ordered all the components for a hydraulic system.they are actually being delivered tomorrow. Got everything except the fluid. Figured I could get that local. Yes I'm a little impatient...lol. shopped around and marineengineparts.com had some decent prices and they are in NY...

Went to launch my AJ this past weekend and found the steering was locked up. Disconnected it at the stern to make sure it wasn't the drive and the drive turns easy so must be the cable. Looks like the original cable in there. Only marking I could find was HEAVY DUTY RIDE GUIDE 20 ft 6 in...

Just spotted this post while doing some research on alternate steering systems. My 85 Amberjacks steering is locked up and since its the original, its time for an update since they don't make these cables anymore. Not exactly sure what all types are better than others between the different...

Yes its from Atlantic towers. After getting prices for a new bimini, Getting the hardtop was a no brained IMO.

Hey BigJoe, I dont get on here as much as I used to but there's quite few AJ owners on here. I guess alot of them dont get on much either. Mines an 85 255 AJ thats been getting upgraded a little at a time. I have some pics of mine in this thread...

When I had a leak It came from a bad seal at the pivot arm on my bravo1. not sure if the B3 has the same problem or not but the bravo1's all seam to leak there eventually. Not only was the pivot arm seal leaking, my transom assembly was rotted threw underneath causing a leak. It was very hard to...

Re: Considering a repower next winter...or a bigger SR...I think I need an interventi The 383 stroker is also an engine package I thought about before getting the 496 MAG. The lighter engine may have even performed better but i think I didnt go that route because I dont think it comes with...

I've been curious to know how many bullet holes are in that boat? "We always try to take them alive" - Police Chief :thumbsup:

If you can get a bite on the screw head with vise grips, you should be able to pull while turning to get them out.

Are talking about the black plastic knob? Mine is cracked and loose and moves around on me which can be a real PITA when docking. How are they even attached? Thought there may be a set screw but didnt notice any. Mine is a single with the trim button on top.

Have thought about changing mine to SS hand rails (instead of flat) on my AJ. just posting to subscibe to hopefully get some ideas.

Here is a better version of manual 11 if you need it. Couldnt find anything on the site you posted. I see what you were talking about now. torquing down to 150# is for bravo1's with shims. read pages 3B-37 thru 39 and you see that bravo1's with a load ring (crushable washer) instead of shims...
