    1977 Baja on the cheap

    add $1500 to my estimate if you want to make the metal flake shiney. the plate on the transom means the transom is rotten

    Checking for rot

    youre going to find lots of moisture in the transom and the stringers supporting the motors. SeaRays of that vintage are notorious for it.

    Flushing port on 2012 VP 300 C-A

    No, it doesn't You must drain first. PERIOD You will never generate enough heat to open the thermostat and your block will still be filled with water even if you ran 250 gallons of AF thru the motor Pull the hoses, pull the plugs, drain the water

    1977 Baja on the cheap

    FIRST, Welcome aboard Second, the motor and trailer may be worth the $300. they may not however you must assume that you will need to invest $3000 into the boat hull to make it seaworthy unless by chance you find a boat never exposed to moisture. remember, under the shiny and glittery...

    Winterizing indoor stored boat.

    as long as you trained the block. the water not coming out of the one port is an issue. remove the adapter from the block and probe with a stiff wire.

    Yep, it's that time! :-(

    the big J hose and the hoses running to the coolers need to be drained yes, you need to use a good PG AF and leave in the engine. if you have a brand new engine, why did you not install a heat exchanger?
