Well, the overheat problem was caused by a bad impeller/water pump. Everything overheated, and melted all the rubbers, cable and hydraulic line. $3000 later, all is new and right with the world. I think I'm going to be putting her up for sale, as I just don't use it as much as I thought i...
I don't even have mine installed since I'm pretty much a fair weather boater and the spray doesn't bother me. Someone suggested www.directbus.com for heavy duty wipers. Or a trucking supply store. Also https://www.defender.com/category.jsp?id=2290234&path=-1%7C7504%7C2290232 looks like they...
I have a Bravo II. Maybe it is the impeller and water pump i'm not sure. All i know is I melted a lot of stuff up in the outdrive and also the throttle cable and hydraulic line. I'm sure most of the cost is labor but Im no mechanic lol. He also has to check the compression on the engine to...
So.....apparantly the water pump stopped working, overheated the engine and cooked lots of stuff in the outdrive, and also burned through the hydraulic line and the throttle cable. Lesson learned. Repairs are ongoing at the boat shop and will probably be around 2 grand. My boat guy...
Bad day on the river yesterday. Put in and got about a mile down river, overheat alarm started sounding and the boat died. After a cool down, motor ran fine in neutral, but i couldn't engage the drive, forward or reverse...smh...looks like I also blew a hydraulic line somewhere under the...
Yea it was mounted with bolts into nuts on the other side. I ended up having to cut small X's where the nuts where because they were just turning and I needed access to hold them. Not the best solution. I'll attempt to fix the cuts with some type of glue or fabric repair. Not what I had...
Howdy all! Hope you're all out enjoying the season. I'm replacing my old battery charger on my '94 270 and it appears its bolted thru to the aft cabin. Any idea on how to get the wall fabric in the aft cabin off without destroying it?

Thank you sir! I ended up going with the Pronautique 1220P since mine was already a 20amp charger. Thanks for the recommendation. The Pronautique didn't have any bad reviews at all. All the others, including the ProMariner cheaper models didn't sound good. Now to climb down and try and fit...
Howdy all! Went to open up the boat for the season and found the battery charger not working. Pro Mariner 20 (big black box) probably as old as the boat..How hard is this to replace and any recommendations?
