I have a Mercruiser 3.0L 135hp on a 2006 bayliner. I had a few issues last year. On a few occasions after hitting a large wave I would lose power, the engine would either stall out or only be able to run at a little more then idle speed. After a while it would resolve itself. I do remember...
I have a 2006 Bayliner 185 and I have noticed that when I trim all the way up on full throttle it starts to pull to the left. If I trim down just a little it stops pulling. I checked the stern drive and everything looks fine.
I have had my bayliner 185 in a slip since May 1st on Candlewood lake in CT. This is the 1st year I have rented a slip. In the last few weeks I have noticed some build up of algae and crap under the water line on the hull.

Just bought my 1st boat in July (18' Bayliner) and I have been pretty good so far not messing up too bad. So Labor day week-end we stayed in a camping cabin only accessable by boat on Candlewood Lake which is like 5400 acres. The boat launch is about a 3-5 minute boat ride from the cabin. So...
My trim and tilt started to not work correctly the last few times out. It works fine going down. It will move up(expecially trim) but much much slower then normal. When it gets to tilt it will move slightly then you will hear what sounds like the motor giving up. It seems like it does not have...
I just bought a 1988 Bayliner and I am new to boating. The ignition switch was rotating in the dash everytime you turn the key and in an attempt to tighten it, the plastic threaded column snapped. With a little electrical tape I am holding it in place. So I ordered a new ignition switch. My...
