    When my boat is on the trailer, this happens.

    I would do a thorough flush clean and refill everything. If the inside looks anything like the outside, might be crudded up..

    In my area (lots if marinas and boat shops) small engine props are plentiful in house and on Ebay. Often see many at garage sales. Use your part number to get dia and pitch, then go shopping.

    I need help/advice to fix my 14.6 ft Alumicraft v-bottom boat from scratches/gouges and cracking sealer in the front bottom.. Thanks!

    I feel your pain on the failed keel roller damage. Mine split as well and the gouges look similar. I had no leaks so I just painted over the scratches and cussed at it a lot !! Did replace with one of the yellow poly rollers, no more rubber rollers on my trailers !!

    Mercruiser 3.0 Engine knocking noise

    Check for a cracked block if water is in the oil...did you check how flat the deck ( block) was before putting the head back on ?? 3.0 heads are known for warping under overheat conditions but the block deck can also be out. Usually shows low compression on #2-3 if a warped head or deck. Did...

    1965 3.9hp plug fouls

    Have you run a compression test ? I would stay with factory recommended parts, in my 60 years of boating, they always worked the best.

    Bunk Boards or Guide Poles?

    Over my 60 plus years of boating, I have had trailers with both, poles and side guides. Needless to say the longer side guides were by far the easier to load with when conditions were bad. Poles are OK, but when conditions get tough, side board guides are far better in my opinion.

Years back I worked for a marina, boats and motors were titled by the serial number, the date was date of sale. Many boats and motors were sold a year or two after they were...

    Remove seat from pedestal - 2007 Q4

    I do not have the same boat, so this may or may not help. I have a seat on a pedestal that doesn't come off ( easily) also. Mine swivels and has a lock to hold it in position. I need to remove the lock part, then there is a clamp that uses a hex wrench to loosen that allows the seat to come...
