im in Wyandotte but I usually trailer but I need to have it repaired and don't have time so ive never had to do the haul out and storage. was hoping to see if anyone knew some of the rates. but I do know keans is great but I imagine they are expensive as I would think Gregory would be as well

thanks, have you dealt with them before?

just wondering if anybody has any recommendations on places on the Detroit river for haul outs and winter storage?

I ran the motor and revved it up 2 to 3 times until it stopped sprayin water out the exhaust the shut it off. I then removed the hose from the water strainer and put it in a bucket with two gallons of antifreeze-50 or maybe higher, cant remember, and ran the engine until it sucked it all up and...

buy the way my uncle used to have a similar sized carver with a single 350 and it had a flybridge. took it to Put-In-Bay in lake erie on a trip and it performed well- didn't seem underpowered at all and not too much roll either.

I got a 10 ft beam so its a liitle wide but it does roll a little bit but it depends on how rough the water is but overall I'm happy with it. on the Detroit river going through downtown can be messy, its the narrowest part of the river and both sides are seawalls so any wake just bounces back...

sorry posted this in the wrong forum

Hello, yesterday I noticed a small crack about maybe an inch long on the outdrive just above the lower unit. I then removed the plug on the bottom and about 2 to 4 drops of water came out. that is not a good sign but was wondering if I could possibly get away with welding the crack?

Not to totally hijack this but today I was looking over my boat to go over what work im going to do to get it ready for launch in a month or so and I noticed a small crack on the outdrive. I decided to pull the plug on the bottom of the drive and a little bit of water dripped out. Just wondering...

Hello, just wondering if anyone has ever replaced a gimbal bearing on a trs outdrive. I know it is a little different because the bearing is in the trans tailstock. Need to get it done in a couple weeks and was looking for any tips. I have an 83 srv270 with a single 454, trs outdrive and a...
