    Boat Pedestal Question

    had to dig into the wayback archives. looking at them, doubt they would pass the ABYC requirements of today. so the product would not be on the shelf. plus the scissor action of the arms could trim off someones Phalanges the early reviews from 2006 to 2007 were not favorable.

    Ted, you thought your BMW had network issues. this will in about 5-6 years most of the builders are pushing high-end creature comforts and they wonder why the market share is dropping when the MSRP keeps climbing. the drink holder looks like the peltier junction cooled one from dometic.

    Please help mercruiser 260

    overheat has nothing to do with the valve cover on this new to you boat, did you do all the drive maintenance, cooling maintenance, fuel system maintenance, etc that the prior owners did not do?

    Mercury fuel injected

    as long as both motors are 1986 or later however depending on the year, the Volvo Penta may have the 168 toothed flywheel as well.

    Just how many boats did Ebbtide produce? Anybody have any idea?

    if there were records, they usually are not published, or passed on to the next owner.

    Mercury fuel injected

    no problem at all. if you know what you are doing. you would need to make sure the VP bell housing has room for the larger 168 tooth flywheel. the exhaust will need to stay VP (merc manifolds will not line up with VP stuff)

    if you have spark, compression, and fuel. the only thing missing is timing.

    Flotation foam

    Your plywood should match the transom shape and go corner to corner. You need it flat (no bevel) If you want to reuse the glass, you have to bevel both of the edges of the cut back. It's less work to just bevel the boat side and lay the fiberglass on the wood
