This past weekend 5 people, 1-2 foot waves, 64mph. Albeit on a SeaRay speedo ... I need to download a GPS Speedo and try again. Either way, we weren't the last ones to the island!

please let us know the outcome. I'm interested to see what the problem is in this case. It helps us all learn.

I am by no means a mechanical expert, however, I had a similar problem on an Alpha drive of similar age. It required an adjustment in the shift cable, and the mechanic let me know that this was the last adjustment that could be done with the original cable - that it would need to be replaced...

2: 1. Checkmate Starfire 2. (Current) '89 Pachanga 27 - LOOOOVE this boat.

Well, I had a slip all weekend. Powered it up, no issues whatsoever. EVERYTHING worked the way that it should - even the converter. We had an amazing time and I'm glad that the boat's electrical systems were all working properly.

Update: All of those suggestions worked. Had her out all weekend - everything works great again. Thank you all for the quick fix explanations!!

Thank you - see you out there in the bay sometime!

@ Avenger Is the McClain's you're talking about in South Boardman?

This is great info as well. The only time I walk on the deck is dropping or retrieving my anchor. I don't go that close to the beach where I can do it once I'm in shallow water. I usually stay in at least 10ft of water to anchor. And yes, the entire deck is white. Blue trim is on the sides...

Ok, all steps have been done now. So, I'm going to run it tomorrow after work in the evening. I'll let you know how it goes. This is great - what a useful forum. Thanks to everyone. Brian

I absolutely will. And thank you again.

I took the hose off of that nipple and blew compressed air down through that and out the hole in the bottom. Nothing but water. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

LOL @ Bucit

Thank you so much for the guidance. I'm going to try that after work this afternoon. I'll let you know how it works. Brian

Good afternoon, I have an '89 Pachanga 27 with a Bravo One Drive. Last night, we were leaving our "spot" anchored near the beach (in deep water), and I noticed that the speedometer was slow to react, and then wouldn't go above 25mph even though we were doing our normal 55-60. I read that the...

More good information. I will keep you all posted as to the progress. It's not oxidized or dull, but there are some rashes, dings, and even a hole that I found on the side that I want patched up. I don't have the knowledge to try and do any of this myself (or the space, i.e. a pole barn). I...

I'm almost sold on the Imron. Durability is key with me. I want the boat to look sharp, but I need to be able to walk on it, lean on it, etc. This forum is great - thanks for all of the input.

I want to be able to walk on the deck without scratching it to pieces. Can you achieve that kind of durability with paint?

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on this. I really do appreciate it.

I don't know much about this, but the reason I'm asking and the reason I said gelcoat, is because my last boat was a BEAUTIFUL restored Checkmate. HOWEVER, it seemed like it was painted with automotive paint or something. If you looked at it wrong, it would scratch. You couldn't walk on the...
