    Wiring a RIB

    I have a Zodiac Pro II 470 RIB. It used to have a dual nav light on the front of the console. I got a new console and have to come up with new lights. I was thinking of putting a post light in the bow. This boat does not have a bow compartment built into the hull, so I'll have to come up with a...

    anchor for RIB

    I need a recommendation for an anchor for a Zodiac 470 RIB. I really don't intend to use it much, but probably should have one just in case. This anchor will probably be Danforth style so that it can lie fairly flat in a compartment. I just don't know how big (weight) it should be. I usually...

    finishing plywood

    I have a Zodiac RIB. There are two things I want to do with this boat. One is build a storage locker under the front seat. The seat has a open steel frame and the locker will attach to this. I'll likely use ~1/4" ply to build some sort of box shape. Since the seat doesn't lift up, I'll put a...

    Zodiac Pro II 470 w/40hp 4-stroke

    I found a Zodiac Pro II 470 for a reasonable price. It comes with a 40hp Yamaha 4-stroke. The hull is a '98, the motor is a '06 and the tubes are (will be) new (PVC). This boat is also having the console and seat replaced. Since it is all being replaced, I would have the option of changing the...

    Cold weather and merc outboard

    I have a question about using my boat in the fall. I have a boat with a Merc outboard that is stored outside on a trailer. Around here in the fall there can be overnight freezes but with reasonable days. If I want to keep using the boat on the nice days, what do I need to do to the engine to...

    Zodiac tube manufacture date

    Regarding Zodiac RIB boats. It is possible to change the tubes on the hull. While the hull has a number on it that tells the date of manufacture, is there a similar number (or code) on the tubes that tells you when the tubes themselves were manufactured? You could have a boat where the tubes...

    92 Force 70

    I'm considering (maybe) a boat with a Force 70 (haven't looked at it yet). Just a simple question, is a 92 Force 70Hp likely to be a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke? If a 2 stroke is it oil injected or gas/oil mix? Thanks.

    92 Bayliner 1700 capri Force 70

    I found a 92 Bayliner 1700 capri with a Force 70 and a trailer. The guy wants $1800 for it. He admits that he has had some trouble getting the engine to run this year. Said it worked fine last year. He seems to think that if it can be run for awhile it will sort itself out (get rid of the gum)...
