So I went out with a buddy last weekend on his 26' Maxum cruiser for the day. As we were packing up and about to pull anchor, he stated that he needed to access the ER to change his battery switch position for starting. I stated "you're kidding right?"......"they wouldn't really put the battery...
I've carried an IAC valve in my spares kit for a few years now due to the known issues but was starting to think that maybe I would never use it. Well, not to be. After a 17 day cruise, going 700 miles without so much as a hiccup, I go to start the boat in my slip and the port engine won't...

I use aluminum anodes on my BII sterndrives as recommended for saltwater and read somewhere not to mix anode materials. Does this mean to use aluminum anodes on my stainless trim tabs as well? :huh: Hmmmmm......I believe the last ones the shop...
The door to my head really makes me nervous. It does not quite open 90-degrees as the door hits the bottom cabin step. Just slightly pushing on the door causes the bottom hinge to flex and doesn't look good. I'm afraid one of my guests will pop the hinge even though I try to give them a...
