That’s a good cockpit heater idea, could of used that this past month.

Dang, those are pretty cheap. Hard to beat that. The one I took out had a front heat exchanger hook up. I read that you can’t use it with a raw water cooled engine but seems to be from the factory that way.

Hello All, The boat is now in storage time to get to some offseason items, one being the water heater. I have a 1995 250 DA. it had an Atwood, 6 gallon, 120 volt with a heat exchanger. It was bypassed when I purchased the boat and I removed it. Now realizing how much it sucks not having hot...

That’s bizarre, my GL windows are 5 years old and still clear. Just scratches and swirls I put there. I use plexus on mine and a microfiber cloth. Same thing we use on an airplane.

New to this boat but this boat is not new to the marina I’m in, had the full maintenance history pulled from 2011 on. PO was pretty good about preventative maintenance. Been keeping with his schedule, alignment was last off season. Bellows were inspected and looked good, gimbal Checked our. I...

There is a fair amount of original paint, looks like someone may have sanded it before, some smooth bare aluminum when you flake the paint away and also hints of primer. Any idea what’s going on there Above the prop in the anti ventilation plate? It almost looks like some sort of add on

First off this is my first Bravo 3 and slipped boat. so I have no idea what it’s “supposed” to look like. Fresh water boat, I’ll work on cleaning it up. I’m seeing pits with flecks of copper in them that lead me to believe that it has been coated with a copper based bottom paint in its life...

I did purchase Trilux and that Primcoat that they recommend. So just clean it up good and paint it back up. I was just worried about the bright copper flecks in little pits, So my mind instantly went there.

So year two of owning a 1995 250 DA 5.7 with a Bravo 3... and there’s the problem. At further inspections it’s come to my attention that someone painted the outdrive with copper paint and doesn’t have the correct amount of anodes. I assumed this was a pre 2003 bravo3 but after further inspection...
