Mark, David, Second Chance,
Thank you all for your feed back. I spoke to a tech at Henry Smith & Co. and was I advised to first perform the check that Second Chance advised. Most likely the key is stopping the prop from seating in the proper position. They also advised that the large nut go...
For the last 2 years at haul out the starboard prop nuts loosened back to the cotter pin. Can't believe that I can get the nuts much tighter, is it possible that I need a new key? Has anyone else run into this problem. Starboard side only, no problem with the port side.
John,
We love our 3116's they require minimal maintenance and are a work horse. We cruise at 2,300 RPM, 26 MPH, and our average fuel consumption is 21 to 22 gallon per hour.

My tanks are virgin, have never used any additives. Have seen alot of commercials for Startron, does any one have any experience with it. Should I be using an additive like Diesel Kleen or Startron, or should I stay virgin.
We installed the same set up that Peter has next to the sink. Purchased the post and base from our local SeaRay dealer. We installed an automotive DVD player and ran it through the sound system using the AUX mode on the Clarion CD-FM-AM. It is the best place to watch a movie. We purchased a 20"...
Last year I had my entire bimini and glass replaced by Ethel's Canvas. Donna Sampier did a great job and was quit a bit less than Dockside and Millers.
We winter store inside heated includes haul out and wash down and summer slip includes, water, electric, and cable TV. All at the same facility, cost is close to $6,500.00 for the year.
Just had to Chime in ! I have an acquaintance at our harbour that purchased a 380 gasser last March and by July was looking to move it. The handling, cruise speed, and fuel burn drove him nuts. I guess he should frequent Club SeaRay.
I use a liguid wax on the non skid, I apply the wax in small area's and wipe it off before it dries. If you have any area's that the wax dries for any reason, simply add more wax (wax is it's own solvent).
It is not a fun job, and depending on what kind of non skid you have some are harder to...

Goose Bay next to the Middle Channell is really nice and quiet and Anchor Bay off the North Channel by Munchies is good also. Both spots have a sandy bottom. Munchies like the Moot can get a little crazy as the day goes on though.

I replaced Clarion speakers last year and did not seem to make much difference. So this year replaced the power amp increasing it from 160 watt to 1,000 watt, and that made a huge difference. It seems that maybe I did not need to replace the speakers as much as upgrade the power source.
We have a 45' slip with water and electric, 2 parking spaces, heated pool, kiddie pool, jacuzzi, and inside heated storage for winder and it run's about $6,500.00 for the year.
It is not unreasonable to ask a dealer or any service company to leave the boat in the condition in which it was boarded for any work performed. I have had several run in's with this problem.
I think that many of the workers they employ are part time, meaning they are employed by the...
