    Here is a question that I am interested in your opinions on. I am a member of a couple of boating sites like this one ( well duh! yeah, I know) :faint2: and the Bayliner owners club etc. But I am always struck by the fact that there are many many more questions being asked in relation to...

    Excessive exhaust smoke

    1999 Bayliner 2052ls Capri, 3.0l GM, Alpha one drive. I have noticed that the last few times that I have started my engine that I am getting a hell of a lot of exhaust smoke. It disappears after 3 or 4 minutes, but I have never had this before. I have not changed anything recently, oil and such...

    Collision band fixing/replacing

    Bayliner 2052ls Capri 3L GM. Well, the South of England is mostly under water due to the barrage of non stop Atlantic storms. Why oh why did I keep my boat in the sea for the winter! Anyway, after a force 12 the other night, my boat was battered by being lifted clear of the pontoon and dropped...

    Life expectancy of anodes

    Just a quickie, my anodes have been on for about 18months. I have a new set ready to go, but just how long do they last? My boat (Bayliner 2052ls Capri 1999), is kept in the sea in Southern England. Instead of taking the boat out of the water, I was just going to jump into my wet suit, lift the...

    Heavy snow and winter boating

    Hello there, I'm looking for some advice/information from the experienced boaters here. I have read a report saying that, in the south of England this winter, we are expecting the worse winter conditions and heavy snow fall for 100 years. (That's why heating bills have just been raised by 10%!)...

    UK winter, boat left in sea, what to look out for.

    Okay, this will be the first winter with my new boat. I'm leaving her in the sea as I want to do a bit of cod fishing. What do I need to look out for with regards to the winter conditions. Frost, snow etc. what precautions should I take? She is berthed in a well protected marina, so I have some...

    Solar trickle charger question

    Hello guys. I use a solar power trickle charger that plugs into my ciggy lighter socket by the dashboard. It's meant to put a steady 4volts into the battery to keep it topped up with power. My question is this. As I have an isolater switch that I turn off when I leave my boat, does this then...

    Raising the drive out of the water

    Okay, silly question time. I have a 1999 Bayliner 2052LS Capri with a Mercruiser Alpha 1 Gen 2 drive. The commander unit has a trailer switch on it. I want to raise the drive out of the sea whilst I'm moored at the jetty. Trim brings it up a bit then stops. Do I then have to press the trailer...

    A true story....that will make you grin

    Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert an hour east of Bakersfield, CA, some folks new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 foot boat going. It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much...
