    86 250 da

    I was putting around @ 1500 rpm and throttled up to 4ooo and the boat kinda lumbered around a little. Once on plane I was able to back off to 3500 to keep on plane. I did adjust the tabs to trim out a bit. The prop is 15-1/4 x 15p and I have a spare 14-1/2 x 17p. I have 60 gallons of fresh...

    86 250 da

    Took the old girl for a test run yesterday. I'm a little confused. Came out of the channel and started to power up the throttle and eventually got up on plane and ran around 24 mph on gps. I'm not used to a boat this size and this heavy. When I powered up I brought the rpm's to 4k and to me...

    Alpha One Transom Plate

    What type of paint should be used on the outdrive and all the brackets? Mine looks like somebody sprayed an ablative outdrive paint. I'm going to give the plate a try if it doesn't work then at least I tried.

    Alpha One Transom Plate

    We told by mechanic today that the motor has to removed to replace a deteriorated transom plate. My 250 DA has a Alpha One drive. I was poking around CSR looking for similar posts. It seems my transom plate has corroded just below the grease fitting. My question is... Can I carefully...

    Thats what I thought, the previous owner had that work performed last spring, I have the reciepts. He never did the bellows?? Just doesn't make sense. I just purchased the transom service kit which includes everything you mentioned except the cable. I want to do the job myself but I'm still...

    New Countertop & Table

    The corian is a little heavier, but not by much. I think the whole top is around 50 lbs. I did leave out the stove. I have a water tank on the starboard side that I don't use. if needed I can always add a little ballast. I won't know till I get hauled, hopefully soon.
