    How does everyone wash the hull in their slips

    Learn from my oil filter mistake

    During my last oil change I had finally run through the Merc oil filters with the old part number and I installed the first set of new part number filters from my supply shelf (35-866340K01).

    For SeaRay Paul - RE: Trucks

    I decided after 8 years it was time to upgrade tow vehicles. I wanted Mr. Cummins again (in fact that is what I thought I would end up with). I spent 2 months test driving, reading, test driving, reading, crawing underneath, and talking with folks on the respective big 3 diesel msg boards...
