    Boat Lift Trouble

    Here is my boat lift and an example of a boat lift company that doesn't know the difference between a cable's breaking strength and Safe Working Load (20% of Breaking Strength). Take my advice when you buy a boat lift, insist on SWL cable strength.

    Air conditioner not pumping water

    Brand New 2007 240DA (20 hrs) and the air conditioner isn't pumping water so it shuts off after a minute.
