I looked for months and tried every resource I could find. Regarding the actual replacement it was near impossible and very painful. I do not want to have to do it again - good luck.
Boat is a 2001 and has several original Perko drains, one of which had corroded so badly in the center screen area it had cracked. After replacing, not an easy task, the new one started to tarnish. Just a few cleanings later the chrome plating on the brass screen only started to deteriorate and...
Has anyone experience a change in the “clicking” noise when sliding the salon door? Mine seems to louder, I lubed to no avail, anyone have experience with the slider and know how the assembly works? Thanks`

I think I have the same problem, I realized I am getting soot on the aft top end of the port motor. What am I in for?! Did you pull your floor? That’s something I do not want to do. It appears it’s leaking towards the rear at the exhaust manifold/cylinder junction. First problem is finding a...
Bingo! Thank you!! Couldn’t see them and didn’t even think of it - how simple. I knew it couldn’t possibly be that complicated! Thanks so much for your help- took about 10 minutes or so and it’s in.
