    An old boat sinks twice in the same year!

    An old boat sinks twice in the same year!

    YES!!! please don't, we like it here . God bless Texas! Every marina Iv'e stayed has had more than a few vessels that are permanently placed in what I call boat purgatory .It seems there is nothing anyone can do to remove the hazard that they represent ! It's like trying to evict a bad tenant...

    Westerbeke Genny Does not like to start after a week?

    My 4.5 BCGTC is a child , when it starts it runs till doomsday ! The thing is going to be that way because the carburetor is basic and the fuel pump is a piece of junk facet pump as well as the distance from the fuel solenoid on mine and the merc type spin on fuel filter . Hell I can tell you...

    Is there an opposite to "Kudos"?

    That's the expletive I would have chosen as well ! I feel your pain! I have been on the receiving end of this type of indifference ( incompetence ) more times than I can count along with most of my boat owning friends .One of the many constants in the universe I guess. When you do find a good...

    nibral props for sale 17"x 20" 3 blade 1.1/2" shaft

    motoguy , what is your WOT on your 6.2's ? are you in Huron or St.Clair ? the reason I ask is the 6.2 has a wide range of WOT (4800 to 5200)and the drive /engine package you have specifies a 17"x19" wheel ,I think in your region up there the extra inch of pitch will be fine. When I operated on...
