Unfortunately I had to replace the lower unit this winter I hit an underwater log last summer. Last week I launched and noticed the trim gauge doesn't go down all the way on port engine that the lower unit was replaced. To me it seems the gauge needs to be adjusted but the service department...

Every time the head is flushed an unpleasant smell is coming out the vent. I am assuming the charcoal or whatever is in the filter is used up and needs to be replaced so I went to West Marine and they wanted $100.00 for one filter. I’m hoping there is a better place to go and seeing if...

I lost my anchor last year the screw that holds the anchor in place worked itself out and I floated away during a nap almost hit a 60' yacht before I woke up :wow: Anyway, the anchor line/rode looks very worn out so I'm thinking of replacing it. It looks like most people on the river have...

Boat is a 2000 and the fridge was making a very quite pumping noise last weekend. So before leaving I cleaned it out and defrosted it. The girlfriend went out there tonight and turned it on and it's not making any noise what so ever. She said the rags we put in there to soak up the water...

First boat we purchased was a 23' Maxum cuddy purchased last July nice boat but we needed something bigger so I sold it in April and made $1,000 and sold in a week. The current boat is a 2000 27' Sundancer with twins (9'2" beam) which I really do like the boat but I think we need something...
