Drill holes? I have the muffs with the rod, Never had to drill holes to use them?

I usually use the muffs and it takes a bit to get water to come out. But last year I used the muffs out at my cabin, it seemed ok but when I dumped it in the lake it proceeded to overheat. You guessed it, the water pressure at the cabin is lower than the water pressure at home. Burned up the...

Yes, a badger. They will chew your arm off, then finish the rest of you in short order!.

Glad he is off the water myself! Apparently he thinks its my way or the highway! He chose the lower highway.

I've had good luck with using sea foam to help flush out the block. Add a half a can and run it for 10-15 minutes, Drain and do it a second time. I use the cheapest oil I can find for flushing. Then put in your normal oil.

Pictures of the area helps. We had a customer that wanted to do a similar thing. It would have required removing the sink, cabinets and attempting to re-locate those items. Space was limited and he had bought the fridge and microwave already. No way they were going to fit in in there!

I hate those type of pumps. When I first saw one I was moving a customer's boat and it quit right in the middle of the docks and almost drifted into other boats. The pump had froze up and the belt broke. We replaced the works but that belt works fairly hard running the seawater and fuel pump...

Some systems have a reservoir down in the engine room, it gets filled to a certian level and pumped up with air to keep the system full. I don't recall those having a filler at the helm stations though. If this system loses air or oil, you lose steering completely. If it does lose air or oil...

Steering. If it gets to low, you lose steering.

I've personally seen similar stuff like that. One big one is the water heater. The element goes bad but still works as it's leaking a small amount of current. Even with the breaker off it shows the same. Unhook the wires completely from the heater itself and see if it clears up. If it does you...

I used to throw mine on the roof of the car on a rack, But the trailer I aquired was a game changer! No more getting set up and retrieving.

Under low idle, there isn’t much, Torque, besides the gimbal moves with th drive.

Those generally attach to the bow rail on bigger boats. If you have a tall rail they will work fine.

This is true, can’t tell you how many I’ve snugged up when they came in for service. If it’s left to long it ruins the ginble ring and you end up with an expensive repair.

No, don’t do it in my opinion. It’s part of the strength of the hull. On another note, I’ve been wondering why they call a v-hull a John boat? Around here a John boat has a flat bottom and square bow.

Find a landmark, point straight at it, You will see it wander back and forth. Do not move the wheel. It will still go fairly straight, with small correction when needed. Drives me nuts to but its the nature of the beast.

Weird. Pull the drive and see if the noise goes away.

I've never pulled the plate. You remove the three screws that hold the housing on.

If you do use zip ties, get the ones made for round lines. https://www.cabletiesunlimited.com/7-87-50lb-uv-black-clamp-head-cable-ties-100-bag.html?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADwtFs2sR6uBMdiZ3DQ5A88dC2PgX

Yeah, that was a hell of a ride! Last time I had a view like that was on a tilt-a-whirl! And not at close to 200 mph!
