    Need Suggestions on Swim Step Support

    The "transom tiendown" is just under the swim step ( just out of view). That corner of the swim step needs a tad more support.

    Need Suggestions on Swim Step Support

    I should also note that I can not access the inside of the hull in this area. I also don't want to use a lag bolt to attach the brace. Hoping to use the eye as a mount.

    Need Suggestions on Swim Step Support

    I want to add a support to my extended swim step. I have the perfect 7/8 stainless support poles, but I want to mount them to my ski tow eye. Is there a mount designed to securely attach a 7/8 support to a normal ski tow eye? Dan

    Anchor Upgrade...need Real World Reviews

    The Fluke in all the tests say they aren't recommended for grassy bottoms, so I'm afraid that bigger will not be much better. Considering the Delta. I'm also looking at the Rocna Vulcan...supposed to be even better, but pricey.

    Exhaust Manifold Replacement

    Because they are heavy, I'm old, and tight space... I know how to do it... I just want to slide them on studs rather than try to hold them while trying to start a bolt. Why not?
