    Backing into a slip against a wind

    we have a similar berth, and occasional sidewinds......you can get your boat to crab sideways, if you turn the drives to port, put the left drive into forward and the right drive into reverse, the left drive pushes the stern in and the right one pulls the bow to the right at the same...

    Official (1990-1993) 270/290 DA thread

    Hi Bugsy......you could try having one of the props worked, maybe make the blade area smaller or take some cupping out to reduce the torque need to spin it.......failing that a High 5 might give you easier planing with less power......

    Why are SR's so much higher priced than Bayliners?

    Maybe its the heavy cleats :-) I was going to mention the whole Labour hours thing but Gary Hill beat me to it a few posts back. (Glad I read the whole thread first). Production / Design labour costs as well as extra material and therefore weight are where the major differences are in my...

    Alpha 1 Gen 2 Sterndrives

    Hi all....I am replacing the Alpha 1 gen 2 sterndrives on my sundancer (2 x V6 Merc) I know the gear ratio is marked on the top unit, but is it the upper or lower unit that decides the prop rotation? I think the lower units are the same and the forward direction of rotation is created in the...
