    Bilge pump runs does not pump

    What does your wiring look like? Try this as I remember having a pump a looooong time ago that had the wires switched bass ackwrds and instead of it not working,it worked but spun backwards.its a longshot but worth a look.Another possibility is hair or string/debris wrapped around the impeller...

    Oxidation issues

    DO NOT TAKE THAT ADVICE!! !! I owned a blue hulled Regal.Oxidation was much worse than yours. It all depends on what has already been done to try to get rid of it.If there have only been "miracle cures" like wiping on different products then this will be a big advantage to you.If the gelcoat has...

    Palm Beach center console

    I have been on one owned by a friend.If I remember correctly it looked very nice from the outside however once aboard all seemed extremely cheaply made.The hull looked very thin and single wall basic .I did not like it once aboard at all.Sorry I dont remember much else.Hope this helps.Charlie

    Small used cc

    Nope,perfect fit bunk/roller tilt trailer.Last roller is within 2" of stern.I replaced it with an easy roller trailer when someone who also had a 17' Mako made me an offer for it that I would have been crazy to refuse.He wanted a tilt trailer really badly.Charlie

    Oil fired boiler....Is the block replaceable?

    Need to tweak shift cable for reverse

    Drive is mounted so only a few things i can reply on.Shifter is a dual Uline. Receiver looks good but I can inspect closer.I usually grease that too.

    Small used cc

    The best center console money can buy is a 17ft Mako.I have had one for over 20 years and it is tough as nails.I very highly recommend it.As with any older boat ,have it professionally checked out .it will be the best couple of hundred bucks you will ever spend.Charlie

    3 blade prop

    What you are asking for is a prop specifically for pulling skis or tubes.I dont think that is what you really want.A hi rpm prop is a speed prop which is easier on the motor and better fuel economy.Charlie

    Need to tweak shift cable for reverse

    Nice diagram,thanks.so mt position is adjusted uppr as far as it goes already.When i tried moving it down a bit i lost everything.do you think adjusting this down and then tweaking the lower barrel until i get fwd and rev is an option.Then i still have the upward adjustment that I can do??

    Adding second battery

    Yes parallel will work.You can put the 2nd battery anywhere you like.Just run battery cables as long as you need.Not a big deal.The jump pack is not a bad idea either.But you still have to keep it charged.Charlie
