Re: Big Air Ice Tower - Any Input?? My Roswell Area 52 has holes drilled in the bottom and a wiring harnnes to pass through the hull. It also came pre wired for four speakers and a light bar. I don't think it would be to difficult drill a half inch hole and make up a harness. Fishing the wires...

Shifts into forward nicely, but it wants to stall going into reverse. I followed the instructions in the Merc manual, but I think it needs a further adjustment. Does that pivot point need to come up a bit (the one at the end of the lower shift cable.)? It stumbles going into gear. I thought it...

I have fresh 25w-40 in my 5.7 and its 3*C right now. Is it too cold for that oil?I want to here my new Corsa through hull exhaust.

We still have two feet of snow and the temps are still 0*C or less and I'm running out of things to maintane. One thing I have never put any grease to is the remote throtle/shifter. I'm wondering if I have to take it appart or is there a way to get grease in there? Once again, thanks.... Ken...

Turned my ignition on, no action from the fuel gauge. Earlier, before Christmas, I removed the tank, removed the gauge and had the tank steam cleaned and preasure tested. Put it all back together the same way it came apart (I think) and no gauge. I put about 5 gallons in a 40 gallon tank. Where...

Good morning people; Well, I finally dug my trailer out of the snow bank and in the shop to thaw out. Then I got my wheel bearings cleaned, repacked and back on, wheels back on, and the axles moved back 6". Next I put the boat back on the trailer so I could drag it out side to finish mounting...

Re: Wheel bearing greasing This is what I did last weekend. This weekend it looks pretty much the same. I think its going to be a while till we're on the Red River this year. They're forcasting moderate to severe flodding this year and I suspect they wont put the docks in till mid June.:blue...

Re: Wheel bearing greasing Finally! Here's a picture of the spindle and the sleeve. Ken

Hi again; When using the nut and washer to knock out rear seal, I noticed the sleeve where the rear seal rides was loose and came off with the seal. All the others were not loose. Also this was the only one that had any evidense of water. I bought this trailer new and it has not needed spidle...

Good morning; I just loosened the u-bolts that hold the axle frame to the trailer frame. Sorry I don't know the proper names. I moved the axles back 6 inches to try and get rid of the "mule kick". Would somebody know the torque values for the bolts. Trailer is a 2010 Shorelander tandem axle...

Re: Roswell Area 51 versus Area 52 Tower Here is a pic of the rear mounts, elec connection and the tower mounted in the collasped position. I can't install the front mounts untill I can get the boat outside as it's to tall to stand up in the shop. Today it is -20*C/1*F and there is about 2 feet...

Good morning people. I went to the United State of America, about an hour from my Canadian home to retrieve my Corsa exhaust system yesterday. After watching Frisco's step by step installation, I felt I was ready to attempt this install. I was trying to fit the elbo and diverter in-between...

Re: Storing trailer The stand I have it on, post 10, allows me to push it around in the shop for working on it and then when I am done I can push it back against the wall out of the way. It is impossible to move it in there on the trailer. Also I like to polish the entire hull and thats hard to...
