the...

Replacing 6" bunks with 8" bunks - I did it and boy am I glad that I didn't wait
I was contemplating replacing my trailer bunks and discussed it in this thread

Well after much contemplation...
I have a '99 Trail Rite trailer that carries my '99 Monterey 180M.
The bunks are in need of repair due to age and some de-lamination
of the existing 2x6" bunk boards.
I can't easily get southern yellow pine here in Colorado (I have checked and checked) and I am not interested in dealing with...
So I have a 1999 180M w/ Volvo 4.3GL that I purchased last fall......after an intensive but short research period.
Where I live (northern Colorado) there are not many Monterey's (I only have seen 1 other at
the local lake since then and never before) so I had literally zero experience or local...

I have a trailer that is in need of new bunks because one of them has
a crack lengthwise along it.
I have the wood and new carpet picked out but I was wondering
what people use for glue/cement.
Barge cement is a contact adhesive use mostly for shoes but my
rafting buddies swear by it for...
I have a '99 Volvo 4.3GL with an SX-M out drive that I purchased
last fall.....used it a couple of times then winterized it and put
it away for the winter.
This spring I pulled the out drive to replace the u-joint bellows, exhaust bellows,
lube the U-joints, check the alignment and inspect the...
I have a 99 Monterey 180M with a Volvo 4.3GL-PWTC/SX stern drive.
The trim up/down toggle switch on the throttle works but it will stick
in the up position sometimes because (it feels like) the spring that makes
it a momentary switch (i.e. returns it to off) is weak.
This means that you have...
I just bought a 99 Monterey 180M with the 4.3L Volvo 4.3GLPWTC engine.
Going through it the only thing I found wrong was
slightly old/corroded cap and rotor and needs plugs (because I broke one getting it out to check) so
I could just replace one.
I will be running it at 5000-7000' of altitude...
