i have 8.1 mercruisers. the stbd engine has been running increasingly rough lately and has only gotten about 3200 rpm for a while so i had the plugs replaced because the mechanic had stated before they were the wrong ones anyway. he came back and said 3 and 5 were water fouled. i dont know...
was wondering if anyone out there had any android apps that they find useful. I used to have a tide chart app on the iphone but i've made the switch over and that's the first thing i'm searching for.
so the weather is not really cooperating this weekend - winds 14 - 19 knots and seas 3 - 5 feet...
I'm curious what everyone considers 'acceptable' to go out in?
I haven't really built up my frame of reference yet ...
I had an issue with my steaming light recently and someone told me to just wire it up so that it burned both forward and aft as if it were an anchor light and not burn the existing stern light.
It kind of makes sense because you'd have red, green and white running lights forward and only white...
ok – I could use some experienced opinions here…
so i took possession of my boat (360) a little over a month ago.
on the sea trial everything was fine - we noted a sound around the stbd engine so we did oil samples from the transmission that came back clean. The day I was moving it, the stbd...
So my 360 closed today and, as luck would have it, i find out today we're probably going to have a hurricane later this week! and it's my first boat!
So it's a crash course in preparedness...

any other thoughts on how to (literally)...
Kind of a localized question for the Ft Lauderdale area...
So what are some of the anchorage areas within a reasonable distance (for a day trip) of Ft Lauderdale/Lighthouse point areas? I know about lake Boca but just wondering what else is out there?
Also, for an overnight trip... Are...
well, based on the great feedback here, we are now under contract for a 360!
Was wondering if anyone has ever documented a boat online themselves or if this is not a recommended practice. I heard a doc agent will cost around $400 and doing it online might be $75...
Anyone have any thoughts...
anyone ever have an issue with the smartcraft display going bad? Just did a survey on a 360 and half of the display is unreadable. Just wondering if it's an item that's easy (read cheap) to fix or should i put it on the punch list - which is pretty short anyway.
Thanks as always
Hello, all!
First, thanks to all the experienced guys out there willing to take the time to share your thoughts on just about any subject you can think of! :thumbsup:
Looking to get our first boat and had settled on a 2003 340 when we found a 2003 360 for almost the same $$ (looked at it -...
