Bowtruster.. Are they as nice to have as they look?
Going to go help a buddy go look at some boats..
My friend sunk his 36ft twin engine cabin cruiser.. All from losing a bellows clamp we assume.. You would think after dumping out tons of cash for repair and maintenance he wouldn't of had such issues.. BTW company who did the work is now outta business.. I wonder why:p
Also.. Paid someone to...
We are going to buy a new car:eek:..

Well after last time out the 4.3 in my boat started running weird.. Not a major drop in power but I noticed it.. Had a weird noise too..
Did a compression check.. The highest was 150 and the lowest was 130.. So I busted out the leak down just to see what is going on.. Took the valve cover and...
After having the old seloc manual and the online down-loadable one for a while.. I found a used OMC manual on E bay.. Made a offer and scored it:D..

You never run into these down here.. Just wondering if it would be a good addition to the fleet?

This winter I found used $50:eek: stainless 21 pitch prop to replace my 19 that had my engine running too fast at WOT.. When I went and picked it up from the fella I took one of my old ones with me to make sure they was the same.. Spline count, size and everything looked good.. It had been...
I was thinking of buying one of those jump boxes.. Just in case we run the battery down listening to the radio.. We are not running any power amps or any of that junk, but it's always in the back of my mind it could happen.. Then what a mess.. So I was wondering if anyone has bought one that was...
