    Starter issue...i believe?

    Just want to verify with you guys. I go to start the boat yesterday as i unload from trailer. Starts great, sounds good, no issues. I pull around to the dock load up and leave. All good. About 30 minutes later after sitting for a while we start it back up and it makes a terrible grinding noise...

    Weighting down a bayliner 175

    I know, wrong boat, wrong motor. I'm sorry. However, I love my bayliner 175 flight series with the 3.0. What is the best way to weigh it down for day for cheap. I'd like to add 1000lbs or so. I can buy 80lb cement bags for $5.50 a bag. A 350lbs balast bag with pump is $300(roughly)...

    Another prop question for a new guy...

    Good evening folks, I've picked up wake boarding this summer with my new to me bayliner 175 flight series boat. It has the 3.0 mercruiser I/O. Now before I begin, I know it's not a proper wakeboard boat. I know the 4.3 would have been better. I know bayliners are cheap boats. I truly...

    Anyone have experience with Tower Speakers???

    Good morning Folks, I found a used pair of Bazooka Tower Speakers that could be had for $100 or so. Does anyone know if the speakers can be replaced within the canister? I am kind of loyal to Kicker and would prefer to throw some Kicker 6.5's in there...

    Just bought a bayliner...

    A 2007 bayliner 175 flight series to be exact. I had a couple questions. The gel coat has started to fade a little bit, and the lower portion is stained from sitting in the water... Do I just buff that out? Also, any idea how to fit a Bimini on this series boat? It seems like they are all...

    Good afternoon folks, I am looking at purchasing two boats. Both are equipped with the 3.0 Mercruiser. The boat will be used for cruising for my wife and I. No kids, and we are kind of antisocial so we are not looking for anymore than the 3.0. The first is a 2003 Maxum 1750sr. This boat will...
