    Purge Brave One Power Trim Fluid

    Ok, So I've already got a post out there for power trim fluid, but want I'd like to do is PURGE the power trim fluid. As explained in a previous thread, I have creamy brown fluid in my trim reservoir. No issues ever since I've purchased the boat in 2002 (it's a 97). So, I figured since I've...

    Power Trim Fluid Color??

    Ok, this may sound silly but that is why I am here. I noticed my Power Trim fluid is low on my 7.4L Mercruiser Mag. I noticed in the past that the color of the fluid was more of a creamy brown, but when I saw the actual color of the fluid made by Quicksilver, Mercury, etc is more like the color...

    Boat Bouncing on Trailer

Good news is I don't have to trailer it around much, it sits in the driveway at my cottage most of the time.......but, I'd like to get this resolved in case I want to take a trip.

    Hello, I'm sure this has been posted before, but I have a boat trailer loading question. I've had my boat for several years, and have no problems getting it loaded and straight on the bunks. My problem lies at the front, near the roller. When the trailer is dipped in the water, I just drive...

    Surge Brakes to Electric Brakes

    Hello, I have a 1997 Twin Axle Eagle Trailer for my 22ft Powerquest. The surge brakes have never worked since I bought the boat in 2002 (I know right?). I've decided to finally just get rid of the hydraulic and convert to electric. Redoing the surge brakes seems like too much work, I'd rather...

    Power Steering Cylinder Replacment

    I had a post earlier in the week regarding replacement of a power steering cylinder from Teleflex. I received the cylinder, filler kit, and the oil is on its way. One thing I am confused about is purging the system. It seems as if the directions are written for a "brand new" install, where...

    Water Pump Replacement

    Hi All, Going to be replacing the water pump on our 1992 Mercury 135 Black Max. What grease would be sufficient to lubricate the impeller and or other areas? I have some standard "Marine Grease" laying around, the blue stuff. Would that be ok?

    Surge Brakes - Should I replace?

    I have a 1997 22' Powerquest, with (I assume, since I bought it used in 2002) a 1997 Eagle Trailer. I dont believe the surge brakes (with 2 drum brakes) have ever worked, but I honestly dont really know. I have tried to refill the drum brake actuator twice with brake fluid, but I must have a...

    Boat Cleaning

    I think I might have some oxidation on my graphics area of my white boat. I take very good care of it, even wax/polish it 2-3 times during the season. I just cant seem to brighten up the colored graphics area (see attached pictures). Its very dull, and the wax/polish just doesnt seem to take...

    White Touch up Paint

    Does anyone have any idea what type of touch up paint I should get for my 1997 Powerquest 454 Mag? I had some work done below the driver side windshield (although it was poor work that was 1/2 way completed), and I need some touch up paint to finish the job. I have no idea where to get it, and...
