    Bimini pad eyes aka strap eyes

    I know this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find the thread. I am looking for the bimini pad eyes that the forward bimini straps clip onto. The center to center spacing of the bolt holes is 1 1/8" on my 2007 240 Sundeck. Various replacements I've found have a larger spacing...

    The only unbreakable Mercruiser part?

    It never fails.....every year when I remove the outdrive, I forget to remove the speedometer pitot. I'm pulling and tugging on the drive before I remember that its still attached. It's been bent and twisted every which way over the last few years but refuses to break! If only everything else...

Briefly shifting into reverse usually cleared anything blocking the pitot, and all would...
