    Was I really going too fast?

    In the Long Island Sound, in the Greenwich, CT waters, off Belle Haven and in between two small islands, every weekend there are 4,5 boats tied up all together, side by side. 2 bertram style 30 footers, and some smaller round abouts. In order to take a short cut to a nice little bay where...

    Frozen Drum Brakes and the star adjuster wont budge

    SO, I had no idea when you back in the boat on the dual-axle trailer into the driveway for winter storage, you need to go forward to disengage the brakes; I tried to move the trailer today, first time since October (CT winters) and the two wheels wouldnt spin freely. I took both tires off after...

    Jacked up Trailer and Outdrive of I/O Motor touched asphalt

    I jacked up my trailer, 2 wheels on each side, to take a wheel off. The skeg on my outdrive dug into the asphalt a little, I quickly realized what happened, so I jacked up the back and raised the unit fully. Did I seriously screw something up? Thx..

    2001 Sea Ray Sundeck Front Filler Cushion support

    All: I bought my Sundeck last year and although it came with the front filler (between the seats) cushion, it did not come with the filler plate that I think goes below the cushions. Have not been able to find one; does anyone have the measurements of this? I might make one out of marine...

    Fresh Water Pump Runs and does'nt spray

    Hi all, last fall, when I winterized the boat and fresh water system on my 2001 Sea Ray Sundeck (transom shower and mini sink shower) I ran the pink antifreeze through it and towards the end of the process, I noticed that the spray was more of a dribble. Well, I assumed it was nothing, but now...

    why does the water take so long to drain from my sink

    Hi all, I have a 2000 Sea Ray Sundeck, 210, with the small sink in the center console area, passenger side. When the sink fills up with water, it take a really long time for it to drain. It drains out the side of the boat, and a half sink full of water takes more than 30 minutes. Can I use a...

    Load Rite Trailer Rollers scratching the hull?

    We recently purchased a 2000 SunDeck with a LoadRite dual axle trailer with rollers. I "think" I have found some new deep scratches (I see the fiberglass) near the bow of the boat. There is a bowguard on the boat from the previous owner, and the scratches are near the boawguard. There is also...

    Fresh Water System water smells "chemically"

    2000 SeaRay Sundeck, has a small sink and a transom shower. the water has a pinkish hue to the color, has a bit of a froth, and smells like chemicals. Is this left over from the dealers (just bought it) winterizing? I think it has not been used in a season or 2. Like to know what I need to...

    Tell-Tale Nozzle is slowly shooting out and Engine smokes

    1984 Evinrude 115 HP Outboard. Top end rebuilt 5 years ago. De winterized it this past weekend, and when I used it, it smoked a bit and the tell-tale nozzle, which used to have a good stream, had a very weak stream, more like a dribble. The engine also was smoking a little, but I think that's...

    How do I move my heavy boat dock on wheels?

    I have a 20 foot long, 4 foot wide, heavy wooden dock on big steel wagon wheels, two, on one end- the end that goes into the water. I want to build a "wagon" or something so I can push this down to the water, which is very far away. I cannot drive my truck to the water's edge. Any ideas>?

    replacing the seat cover

    I purchased a new seat cover and wanted to see if anyone had any tips on how to install it. I know I need stainless steel staples, but when I look on the bottom of my current seat, the staples are half as wide as the stainless ones I've got. Are the ones I have OK? Also, will they go through...

    thinking of putting a car jack under the rear stern, right under the transom, with a piece of wood for cushioning and jacking it up slowly to paint under the two bunks. What do you think?

    Portable Jump Starter/Charger

    Hi all: I need to buy a jump start/charger for my boat, PWC, ATV, tractor, etc. Basically, any application where I might be out away from power and need a jump (out on the water being the main concern). I noticed that these chargers run the full range, from $50 to $300. For my application...
