Helpful to know. My boat is completely out of the water when on the lift. I have even done hull patching while “in the water” but on the lift. I am still working on securing a trailer to pull out though. Thanks so much!!

Thank you. Can you explain why it needs to be out? Just the location of the work? So appreciate the input.

@DWABoat that’s awesome!!!! Thank you so much!!!! So so helpful.

@Korkie That would be fantastic!!! Looks like I am going to be doing some maintenance. I will figure out how to get in touch. THANK YOU!!!

DWABoat. Thanks for helping. The actual out drive gets stuck. Mostly in the up position, but it may only be up a few degrees. It has gotten stuck all the way up previously and the mechanic then thought is was stuck in trailer mode (doesn’t have a separate switch and I have never trailered...

I have a 2004 Sundeck with a Mercruiser 350 Bravo3. My trim gauge has been not accurate for some time now. It would eventually “catch up” when the trim changed to up or down. However. Now the trim isn’t working! It’s gotten stuck “up” a couple of times and with a lot of murmurs under the...
