    towing - engine in neutral?

    I was going to say the same thing. I always power load and have never even owned a bunk trailer. I do it myself, tilt the motor about halfway up, drive onto trailer until almost up to post, leave her in gear on low rpm to hold her in place while I jump over bow onto the trailer to hook on winch...

    towing - engine in neutral?

    Power loading isn't a concern where I go, nothing but solid rock below ramp.

    Vinyl Wrap

    Yeah, I was thinking that, and since the whole idea of the wrap was to avoid the sanding/buffing bit, its probably not a good idea in my situation.

    Vinyl Wrap

    If I was going to do it I would go to the pro's, not do it myself. However if itd too expensive, I'll just live with my less then ideal color!

    Vinyl Wrap

    Anybody ever use this? My gelcoat has an orange peel effect and I'm thinking about vinyl wrap rather then trying to sand and buff. Also would like a different color then the current gelcoat color.

    New guy, floor repair questions

    I think the putty you bought would do the trick. The container should tell you how long before you can get it wet.

    Maybe use the other engine block and head? You don't say how bad that one was?

    Take everyone's advise and ditch the boat. I'd also get aluminum if I had my time back as suggested above.

    Manual jack plate starting height

    What about going slow speed? I guess she sits lower and thus immerses the prop?

    Commonality with Auto Works

    My BIL has a new Nissan, that thing even tells you when are switching from paved road to dirt road. I love all the new tech. Wish my 2015 F150 had a backup camera every time I'm trying to back my truck up to the boat trailer hitch. I guess I'm getting lots of exercise hopping out of the truck...

    towing - engine in neutral?

    If the kicker was in neutral but the prop was in contact with the water, do you think that would do damage? I did that for a short time the other day before I realized the kicker wasn't raised enough to clear the water.
