How about the anode that clamps onto the trim rod? We did it on a friends boat last year and it worked fine.

I just received this months Boating magazine and the boats have phone numbers for price tags. The boat manufacturers have lost touch with the buyers. It's become a rich mans market and their attitude is take it or leave it. It is nuts that day boats are 200K and up! If you want to sleep on a...

You can prep all the metal then have it anodized before powder coating. I used to have a paint shop and that's how we did aluminum. The only other way would be to sand or sandblast then prime & spray paint. In a fresh water environment you should have long lasting results but nothing last as...

You definitely will get better performance. What pitch are you running and what is your WOT? I have a heavy boat with twin 5.0 Bravo III's. I was running 22 inch three blade and cruising at 3600 rpm but it was a struggle to get on plane. My WOT was 4560 which is too low. I switched to 20 inch...

You have this one? I have the same problem with finding on vs. off/hot/cold so we never use it. POS IMO

Stray have you tried: www.Qualityoutdrives.com They're in Cape Coral FL 239-645-4173 I have no experience but when I had an issue with one of my drives I was going to call them but my mechanic saved my wallet with rebuilding mine for a reasonable price.

I've boated all my life on salt water and don't do more than normal maintenance. I will say go with outboards as they are the easiest to maintain. I have stern drives but always make sure they're closed cooling(FWC). The boat is used regularly and hosed down afterwards but a real scrub down a...

I opened a self managed brokerage account with Vanguard so it has no fees. It's averaging 16.2 percent this year.

I've been using a CPAP for almost 20 years so I've tried many different masks, the nose pillows are the best for me. I also didn't realize I wasn't getting a good nights sleep until I actually got one. My wife used to complain about my snoring so I got tested and yup sleep apnea. I will say it...

There is a breaker located by the battery switches. I know that if you pull the pin you can lift the hatch with that tiny little handle bit it's not easy. The actuator motor may have died but it should have given you some indication it was going bad? Mine is slooooooow to raise but ok on the...

dead batteries? Door has to be open position.

My wife & I were there nine years ago and we absolutely loved it!! The only reason we haven't been back is because it's eleven hours of flight time. I have read the BS stories that the Governor says it was due to climate change and glad to hear almost everyone isn't buying it.

First guess is carburetor or clogged fuel filter. I have found the secret to a happy genny is to run it often with a load.

Try OBD Diagnostics in California. www.obd2allinone.com they had mine when no one else did.

I bought this one at Harbor Freight and it's GREAT! It is rechargeable and has hooks that hook onto the bimini frame.

I replaced one of my seawater pumps with a Hardin pump last year and I'm very pleased with it. The pump is better quality and performance but also a couple of boat bucks cheaper.

If they're closed cooling what's with the rusty brown water in the cooling passages? IMO I'd be tossing those manifolds, risers and all associated parts in the garbage! If you're not having engine trouble yet you dodged a big one!

I'm not sure SEI make Bravo III's, I had the same problem but it was due to the carrier seat being out of round and the new seal wouldn't seat correctly. Luckily for me my mechanic had and older gear case and he used that instead of making me buy a new case.

I upgraded to the four blades last year. I went from 22 inch to 20's on Hill's recommendation and it was money well spent. The boat will now get on plane loaded without tabs. The cruise speed dropped 2 mph and cruise rpms went up 200 but the fuel economy also went up. I'm also able to hit 5K WOT...

Do you paint your props? I started painting mine years ago because of growth but it also cuts down on corrosion. I used Pettit Prop Coat.
