My father picked up a 33' Formula (not sure the exact model). Powered by twin 7.4L MPI Mercruiser engines. It had Bravo II drives on it, but we no longer have the drives.
So - we need two new drives to slap on the back of this and ideally want to do it affordably so I'm looking at all the...
Yes, I have disc brakes.
I had Les Schwab tires repack my bearings in late 2022.
Sorry for the delay, all. I didn't get notifications that anyone replied.
I have Bearing Buddies on my trailer. 1 of them keeps blowing the dust cap (called a Bearing Buddy Bra) off.
This is only happening on 1 of my 4 trailer hubs. This first happened last year and it blew grease all over my wheel. I didn't have a replacement cap so I just cleaned things up and...
Thanks everyone for your input! Definitely helpful.
So, very much related - I want to test run my accessories on my batteries while at idle to understand what the drain is on the batteries.
What is the best way to do this?
I'm taking a shot in the dark with this logic, let me know if it...
You're right. 50 doesn't sound bad to most I'm sure. I have a disease (Reynaud's). When I get cold, I can't heat myself up any longer. If it's less than 70 degrees (and I have no sun) my body starts to get continually colder and it accelerates. I have to have outside heating sources (hand...
I'm planning on being part of an upcoming lighted boat parade, however temps are likely going to be 50 degrees or so, quite cold in my opinion.
We have full canvas (not sure of the proper term) where the cockpit area is fully enclosed, but what is the best way to stay warm?
We have an...
Sounds like you have had and are having a lot of fun in your life! Boats are expensive, but I don't have to tell you that. I'm only 14 years into my boat journey. I'm glad to hear you've had so many years of boating which I'm *sure* are filled with countless great experiences. Thanks for sharing.
Saturday: Sacramento -> Benicia (74mi). The Sac river was perfect, but the Rio Vista area and the area between Rio Vista and Benicia had some chop and some wind, but honestly all in all, not bad at all, but I certainly wouldn't have tried it with a boat that didn't have some height to it. There...
@Sprig, I'm really looking forward to this. I don't mind a rough ride, just want to make sure I'm not going to capsize my boat or anything LOL. I can deal with some ocean spray and choppiness ;)
I'll download the app you mentioned.
Thank you @Sprig! That is definitely good information.
Boat is a 24' Maxum cruiser
We are going to stay in the Benicia harbor (or further if it's safe?) overnight just to say "we did it" and returning the following day.
When you say the winds pick up in the afternoon, how late are you...
