    Non-Skid Gelcoat Wearing Off?

    That just looks like stains. Do as suggested just clean it first. I've done it with 409 and it's worked fine. Sprits a bit on and scrub with a medium brush. It will look darker till it dries, Oh and rinse with clear water.

    Adding hydronic cabin heat from a AQ140A engine

    A simple ball valve would do that nicely.

    Replacing Cleats

    Some cleats have no hardware on top. If the bottoms are inaccessible, you need to remove seat backs or whatever you need to in the area, then if still no access, drill a hole with a holesaw big enough to get your wrench/hand in there. Then cover the hole with a deckplate when done. Been there...

    Another Bravo 3 shift issue

    Replace every cable on one around 5 years ago. The owner insisted they were all bad as it shifted hard, dual drives. Wouldn't let us check out the controls. After doing what he wanted it was back. He said he should have listened and we replaced the controls and then it was fine. Just yet another...

    Advice for first-time inboard owner?

    I’ve found when reversing it helps to throw it in neutral once you are moving if its dog walking the wrong way. That removes the thrust from the prop and helps you go the way you want.

    Condensation/water in oil?

    Up here on Lake Superior, the thermostat required Is 140*. makes it harder to get the moisture out with those cooler temps.

    Condensation/water in oil?

    Same issue when I run on my 140-acre lake at the cabin. The only way to get the condensation out is to run it 1/2 hour wide open to clear it out. Silly to do on a small lake. I'll take it out on Lake Superior for a run to the apostle islands, about a dreaded "three-hour" tour or more. I run it...

    Let the first liar say they have never done this.

    Midship bilge does not drain

    Ok, you are talking about the deck itself. You could put some hoses on those drains and route them to a fitting above the water line. Just don't tie them into the bilge pump lines, you will have to install a new fitting on the hull. Unless someone removed the hoses before the fitting may be there.
