    Hole-y cow

    I have a 19' cuddy cabin boat in which we're replacing the floor. We've gotten all the old foam and decking out (stringers and transom in surprisingly perfect shape, drilled to verify), but some idiot (me) buzzed a 2"x1/8" (slot shaped) hole through the hull near the beam with a cutting wheel...

    Confirmation / Quick question to verify

    Hi all! Well, the time has come. Replacing the deck in my 87 Citation. I read through the articles and really just want a verification before I start. My plan is to: Epoxy the heck out of all sides of my cutout replacement deck (I got a deal on marine ply, so I just went with that rather than...

    Universal/Semi-universal covers

    Hey all! Couldn't find a better subforum, so I'll just post this here. Long story short, my canvas is ripped to shreds. I parked my boat at a place to have new canvas made over the winter, but the guys flaked out on me and didn't make a cover. I shopped around and the soonest someone could...

    Serious newb

    Hey all! I wanted to give wakeboarding a try, but don't necessarily want to invest a whole lot. I'm no novice to boating or towing, but I am a novice to wakeboarding. I've waterskiid and tubed plenty of times. I was always put off by wakeboarding because someone told me when I was young that...

    May be a silly question...

    On the bow of my boat I have this wooden plank that has the bow light and (until recently) the anchor mounted on it. Throws the bow out a good foot or so. I really want to remove it. It looks crummy and it's falling apart. Taking it off would be easy, as would remounting the bow light...

    Boat insurance question

    Hi All! Well, I'm finally launching my boat after hours of blood, sweat and tears. I got insurance and Boat US coverage, so I'm all set in case of any sort of unforseen circumstance. I thought of something though... This is the first time this has been in the water since I purchased it. What...

    Exhaust Routing

    Hi All! Quick question... Just replaced the head gasket on my 3.0L 140HP which is connected to an Alpha One outdrive. It was *my* understanding that most of the exhaust gas and waste coolant water came out the prop. However, we cranked it over and it appears to be coming out of two small...

    Quasi-phantom water leak

    Hi All! Snagged a 1987 Citation from a buddy of mine this spring and she's *almost* ready to put in the water. She's running like a champ, but she has a small (steady drip, no stream) water leak from near the front of the engine. I've replaced all the hoses, t-stat, etc. I've replaced the...

    What carburetor do I have?

    Hi all! Just picked up a 19' 1987 Citation Cuddy from a buddy of mine for a steal. It needs a new manifold as the current one has a crack in the water jacket. When shopping I found the correct manifold, but there's two available. One made for a Mercury carb and another for a Rochester carb...
