This will be the first year I do a complete winterization on my 350mag cat. I don’t plan on unhooking the fuel line and hooking up a 2.5 gallon jug of mixed gas. That being said, is it better to take the cool fuel filter out and dump 2 stroke gas in module and filter housing then start and run...
Spilled some gear lube in my bilge the other day while swapping out old lube. I was unable to reach all the lube, and it mixed with some water after our last outing. What is the best product to put in the bilge with water and let it dissolve the oily crud?
Thanks
Going to swap out me gear lube on my b3 outdrive.
So I’m going to take off the cap on the reservoir on the engine, pull the vent(upper) plug, pull the lower plug and make sure the drive is down.
Once it all drains, I will start pumping 90w high performance gear lube from the bottom hole...
There doesn’t seem to be enough adjustment in my trim sender to accurately show how far up the drive is tilted. Meaning that when it’s in full trailer mode it shows 3/4 down on the gauge. I have adjusted the cap as far as I can with 2 screws. Is there a way to make more adjustments if I...
My dad has a set of B3 props that were damaged when someone back into his outdrive. He’s getting ready to put the boat back in the water and needs them repaired. Local prop guy that we have used over the years can have them fixed by Monday. Can anyone work on Hill Marine props, or is there...
An some people don’t have access to their boat every day. For instance, my boat is 90 miles away at the lake so I needed a smart charger to plug in and be confident that is wouldn’t melt the batteries down if I didn’t see the boat for a week or two.
Time to replace my 7 year old marathons and I’m looking at a set of Hartland 215/75/14 C that they sell at discount. My boat trailer aweigh maybe 6000, tires are rated at 1840 each times 4, plus whatever weight the truck Carrie’s. So I will be well under their load rating, and I tow less than...
Have a bravo 3 that has 1 or so inches side to side play when on the trailer. It seems like its probably the steering arm or the steering pin. Can either of those have occurred due to an impact with an underwater rock pile? Or is that just normal wear?
Drive was run during winterization but has sat for 3 months since. It has dropped a little while sitting. But it has been trailered some, so I though it might have helped work air through the lines. Plus I lowered the drive for storage, so that may have caused air to work up to the bottle...
Little back story.
Hit a rock pile last outing last year, had the lower unit replaced on bravo 3 at that time. Drive was pulled and the top gears were checked as well. The boat has been winterized since it was repaired the end of October. Went and checked on it today and the drive oil has...
So last trip out last year a hit an underwater obstruction and needed a lower unit replacement. Shop replaced my lower unit and props with a reman unit. I know when breaking in a new boat there’s a procedure, but what is the procedure when it’s just the lower unit? I plan to have the gear...
I recently had to replace my B3 lower unit due to a rock strike and the new lower is a dual water inlet. Is a dual inlet better than a single? Does it cause the water pump to work better since water is forced into the system when operating?
I’ve started doing a double round of AF. I pull the plugs and drain the engine on the way home from the lake. Pull the hoses and fill with -50 until AF runs out of thermostat housing, pull plugs and dump that antifreeze and refill a second time. Sure it’s probably a waste of 25 dollars of Af...
