    Bravo III Wiring

    Hi all, hopefully someone has a simple answer :) I have a (new to me) Formula 31 with twin 6.2l's and Bravo III's. The previous owner replaced the throttle/shifter controls with (no-name) controls with separate shift and throttle. For some reason, he installed them backwards. This meant that...

    Leaking Shore Power Cable

    Thanks for the responses, they are all generally helpful. However, I've checked the resistance, ohms, etc. Everything looks good. My question, specifically, is if I have a ground fault somewhere in the cable due to a break or broken down insulation, that does not show up on the meter, can I...

    Transmission question

    Hi! So I bought an 88 Cooper 10m this year with twin inboard Mercruiser 5.7l with Velvet drive 71C drives. Over the last few months, I've noticed that the port shifter was getting stiffer moving in and out of gear. Then yesterday, I was out for a short cruise and the drive all of a sudden...

    Compass Removal

    Hi all, I just bought a Cooper Prowler 10M and I'm doing a bit of cleaning and "personalization". I want to remove the large Aqua Meter Gemini compass but there are no visible screws anywhere (including underneath the shelf). Does anyone know how these are affixed? Thanks!

    A Canadian in US Moorage

    Hi, I've done some searching on this and I am more confused now then when I started. I really hope someone here has some insight to help me out. I live in close proximity to the US border (Greater Vancouver area) and I'm wanting to upgrade to a cruiser (28-35' range). I've done some checking...
