So, what kind of ($amount) deposit money should I ask for on a $50K boat purchase? I may receive an offer on my boat soon pending sea trial and survey when warmer weather arrives. Just asking. Thanks

To anyone else that needs a spring for the Lofrans Progress 1 windlass, I can get them thru a local source here in Michigan. Email me at wellswa@yahoo.com

They are made from stainless steel mesh and are cleanable and reusable. Easy job to do yourself.

I manufacture and sell stainless steel replacement plugs for the plastic Mercruiser ones. Send me an email and I'll send you pics and pricing if you're interested. Warren at wellswa@yahoo.com

Are they at the point where they are no longer functional? Mine were sun beaten and faded badly. I took them apart, wet sanded them and applied a good quality spray enamel. They still look like new 3 years later.

Not sure how to access the horns on your boat but I have a set in great condition I'll sell for $75 if you're interested. They are chrome plated with a silver base. They work great.

I just made another big purchase from WM and all went well again. I ordered a water heater on Sunday night and it arrived at my house Thursday of the same week. Online price was within $15 of the cheapest price I could find on the internet. I'm Ok with WM service.

I have a 97' 330 with no power steering as well. Do you have the boat properly trimmed after it is on plane? That will make a big difference in the required steering effort. Once my boat is on plane I move the trim tabs to the full up position then adjust them for any list that is encountered...

No modifications are needed to the boat just buy the trim kit that is offered with it because the mounting flange on the new one is a little smaller than the opening. Simple...

Does the boat have a separate battery switch somewhere near the battery or engine compartment with a plastic on/off key? I had a 97' 210 Signature and the plastic main battery switch went bad on mine resulting in the same problems your having. Mine went bad while I was out on the water with my...

I had the same problem the first season that I owned my 330. It was indeed the red pop antifreeze causing the problem. I had to clean my filter/strainer 4 times the first season because of it clogging up. Since then, no more red pop for winterizing. I now blow out my plumbing system with air...

Check your power source for sure. I had the same thing happen to my Simrad NSS unit after I installed it. I connected it to a circuit breaker on the helm and thought it would be fine. It turned out to a bad source for 12v power (at least for the Simrad unit). I then connected it directly (with...

Will do. Thanks
