    Rough ride on a 185 Sport

    Sir,, Unfortunatly, with that size rig, you will have a rough ride in any kind of rough chop.. Smaller the boat,,, rougher handling.... My only advice would be keep the trim in and that will keep the bow lower and lets you cut more of the chop... You will not have a very efficient run but at...

    Your experiences with ethanol storage over the winter?

    I winter oct thru march.. I add the fuel cocktail to the cool fuel module (filter housing), per O&O book. I also give the fuel a strong dose of starton treatment and try to run in for a few minutes to be sure the strong dose makes it to the engine. I usually store with about 90% fuel... I...

    Corsa Exhaust

    Another explanation is with that option you will have a switch at the helm to divert the engine exhaust and sounds from the prop (under the water) to the port and starboard sides above the water line.. Gives your engine a mighty roar to wake up your neighbors when you come back into the boat...

    Small pin size hole in gelcoat.... (bottom of boat)

    Thanks for the quick reply,, Can I fill in the pin size hole with epoxy "perma tex epoxy"? I'm not concerned with the looks since its below the visible water line... Is this a decent way to repair since marine max quoted me about $500.00 to repair??
