    Alternator Question

    I have a 2002 5.7L GXI-C and was on the water Saturday. Everything has been running great, all gauges within spec, etc. Typically I always boat at a leisurely pace and other than hole shots the motor isn't run over 3400-3700rpm.

    Water in Transom?

    I own a 2002 Larson 274 Cabrio with DPS outdrive. My unit has the SX-MHP transom assembly. Just removed cover at top of transom ring. Long story short, I am afraid that the two bolt holes going through transom that hold this on have been taking on water for the season. I am pretty knowledgeable...
