I'm sick and tired of the mold and mildew on my boat and jet skis that shows up during the off season. They're stored outdoors but always covered.
Would it help the situation if I were to build a carport large enough to put everything under? I'd love to hear from anyone who keeps your toys...
Hmmmmm...... MAYBE.
The only problem I see is that the tarp is going to have to be extra large because of the T-Top. I'm not sure if one large enough to cover the boat and T-Top would be able to be hoisted high enough to get of of the way while driving the boat in and out of the slip. Guess...
My son and I have a 21 ft. Skeeter Center Console to which we've added a T-Top. We keep the boat on a lift at my dock with a covered slip, and unfortunately it needs frequent cleanings due to bugs. (We used to also have bird poop issues but those were pretty much eliminated when I hung some...
I'm in a bit of a pickle with my boat trailer and could use input from those more experienced than myself.
First off, my boat is currently on a lift at my dock but it MUST be on the trailer in a few weeks time because the lake level will be coming down.
It's a Skeeter 21 Bay Pro, 21 ft. Center...
Are both the oil and temperature warning lights supposed to come on momentarily when the ignition switch is first put into the run position? Not sure if I have an issue or not, just looking for what's hopefully a quick and easy answer before I start troubleshooting.
Thanks
I've had this one for about a year and it just recently started taking on water - my daughter had it out for about 30 minutes and when she was done it had 4 or 5 inches in the bottom.
To help track down the problem I put several inches of water in the hull and raised the nose of the trailer -...
I just bought a boat with a 1998 Yamaha Saltwater Series 200 on it. I'm going to replace the gauges in the near future and have found that my choices are very limited because Yamaha changed trim sender resistance specs in 2001.
Will a trim sender from a newer engine physically fit my engine so...
I've got a Kawasaki 650 TS, when I tried starting it for the first time this year it fired right up for an instant then wouldn't crank. Upon investigation I found a bunch of oil in the #2 cylinder. I'm talking a LOT of oil, like maybe a 1/8" to 1/4" deep puddle in the cylinder. Got it all out...
What happens if the +12 V signal is removed from the purple wire going to the Rectifier/Regulator while the engine is running. Will it damage the Rectifier/Regulator?
(Mine just went bad, I want to eliminate any possible cause).
I need another project or I'm going to go crazy, so I'm thinking I'm going to build a boat to use on the lake/pond behind our house. I'm thinking along the lines of a small pontoon, but am totally open to other ideas. It can't have a gas engine, and it's going to have to be transported down to...
I've got a '96 Yamaha WaveRaider 1100 which runs great - for 10 or 15 minutes. Then out of nowhere it just shuts off as though I hit the stop button. It'll crank back up and barely stay running, than after a few minutes it'll run fine.
Compression is great (120 psi on all 3). I've checked...
Engine in question is an '84 Rude 140, and I'm using the factory manual. For some gaskets the manual specifically says to use gasket compound, for others it specifically says not to, and then there are some gaskets that it doesn't even mention. Specifically I'm wondering about the bypass cover...
From time to time there have been very emotional discussions on here about the virtues of mounting a fin on an outboard engine's AV plate, with all the usual 'experts' expressing their opinion. A fin is pretty simple in what it does, at low speed it provides a lifting force which helps get a...
Just bought this engine a little while ago for my most recent project. It ran well when I was inspecting it before the purchase, but I could tell that it wasn't coming up to temperature, therefore I'm going to replace the thermostats while I'm doing all the other maintenance getting it ready to...
