While floating yesterday due to our engine knocking issue, I decided to try out my new 1156 base LED's I purchased from superbrightleds.com. They're supposed to be drop in replacements for the old style 1141 filament bulbs. I tried each one and nothing. Put the old bulbs back in and they lit up...

We went out yesterday to drop the crab pot and after leaving the no wake zone, I throttled up and right at 2000 RPM's, the engine started knocking pretty bad. I pulled over to a safe spot and checked under the 'hood' and found nothing abnormal. My first thought was low oil so checked the stick...

We were on Lake Washington for a few days last week for the hydros and Blue Angels airshow. On Saturday, we were anchored on the east side of the Bailey Peninsula between Mercer Island and Seward Park along with anywhere from 100 to 300 other boats ranging in size from 14 to 60 feet. Tight...

Does anyone know what the little knob in the center of the dash does? I assume it's the original trim tab adjuster and was disconnected when the rocker switches were installed but was just curious. It doesn't seem to do anything when rotated. Update on my vibration and idle problem: I installed...

Today, we hit some big rollers going about 25 mph and 3500 RPM and aside from things falling down inside the cabin, nothing seemed amiss. Then a few minutes later as we idled down into the harbor, there was some abnormal vibration in the boat and the engine now doesn't want to idle down nicely...

Well, finally found a summer moorage. We've always kept the boat on the trailer in between trips so this is a first for us. Besides things like bottom paint and zincs, what else should I be doing in preparation for the 3 or 4 months it will be in the salt water? Should I leave the outdrive up...

I think my boat may be underpropped. The previous owner did a lot of Columbia River bar fishing and I'm wondering if maybe he put a non standard prop on so he could slow troll. The numbers I get off the current prop are: 25041 and 19324. I'm not entirely sure of the 4 in the first set of...

Seacock? We've had our '94 express cruiser for a couple of years now and in investigating a wet carpet in the galley, I discovered a removable hatch under the step-up to the helm. Inside there is access to a small bilge area with a pump and float switch. There is also a sea cock which was in...

Hi everyone! Just joined the board and am looking forward to learning all your intimate SR knowledge. My family is in the Puget Sound area and we are proud owners of a '94 Express Cruiser 250. We purchased back in '07 and have enjoyed a couple years of short cruises and jump-ups. Admittedly, I...
