    Thoughts needed - knocking when in gear?

    It does sound like a knocking sound - but it only does is while the engine is in gear. At idle its fine

    Thoughts needed - knocking when in gear?

    The plugs have never been replaced, we put about 100 hours on a year. OK, thanks for the idea I will check it out. So if that is the issue then using it today won't be a problem right.

    Thoughts needed - knocking when in gear?

    Today when I put the boat in gear while at idle (Starboard side) started knocking or kinda clanking along with a vibration strong enough I could feel it on the bridge. But, when the RPM was increased the noise and vibration when away. Also in reverse the sound is there but not as strong. Is...

    Engine idles higher when warm - 8.1 Merc

    I was wondering if someone else has seen this problem and has a solution. I have a pair of 8.1's on my 2004 390 MY. When I first start up the engines they idle about 650 RPM on both engines. However, after I have been on the lake and running about 3500 RPM and return to the marina, the Port...

On the list of should haves are: - aft seating (see pic) with table and chair, 6 people be enough, the pic I have attached is an Azimut 70 Jet, but that idea for...

    Thanks very much Dennis. I contacted AM Equipment with a short email and the pictures of the part. In only a few hours they got back to me. The part is a tapered knurl, part# 407-1097. I searched their site (http://store.amequipment.com/) with the part number and then ordered it. It was...

    wiper motor sleeve - where can I get one?

    I was replacing the wiper arm yesterday and lost a 'sleeve' that goes over the motor bolt. I don't know what this part is called or where to get a new one. Does anyone know what it's called or who sells them?

    Lateset in personal defense

    Well I would not feel very comfortable - but I have yet to hear of an incident where it was actually necessary. Being prepared seems like fear. Maybe that is where society is at, we live in fear of the possibility. I wonder how many people get broken into in the middle of the night where a...

    Lateset in personal defense

    Give me a sense of what this cost. So I don't have a handgun or ammo. Let's say I walk into gun shop and want a Glock, ammo and likely a holster and other accessories, maybe join a place practice so I can hit the target. What does that cost me?

    Lateset in personal defense

    So it's a fear thing . No first hand account of actually being attacked? BTW - I have to agree that the weapon pictured here is very well done. I just don't see the need,

    Lateset in personal defense

    This is a crazy thread. What has happened in the past that you need that kind of weapon? There must have been some serious attacks of a great fear of being attacked, which is it?

    Yacht World Access at a low flat fee?

    Dinghy weight for Hurley or other davits ??

    I totally agree with that kind of weight it would be impossible to get it out of the water without some mechanical advantage. So it looks like one person could however lift about 150lbs on a Hurley Davit by themselves? After that they need some help either another person or a mechanical...

    Dinghy weight for Hurley or other davits ??

    We have a 2006 Seadoo Wake and tow sometimes. Normally my son drives the jetski and we take the boat, it would be nice to have it on the platform for two reasons, one it would keep the bottom clean and two we could take it out even if our son does not come with us . But yes the Spark looks...

    Dinghy weight for Hurley or other davits ??

    I hear you on that - but what does your dinghy and motor weight and how far off the water is you swim platform?

    Dinghy weight for Hurley or other davits ??

    The ramps are a good idea. Let's say the swim platform is 1 foot off the water and the Spark (jetski) is 450lbs. Seems like a beast to get up on the swim platform. I read on the Hurley site that their davits are good for 650lbs. How can anyone pick up that kind of weight???
