    1995 Crownline Cockpit Cover

    Back last May when i became a Crownie, there was an old cover that could've come with the boat during the purchase. It had a HUGE rip all the way across it so i chose not to take it home with me. My mistake. I could have used the old cover as a template to have a new cover made. Thus my...

    Prop advice please

    I have a 1995 Crownline 210 CCR with a 5.7L Alpha one and a gear ratio of 1.50. The boat came with 2 aluminum props, both have a couple of nicks in them. The dry weight is 3900 lbs. With 50 gallons of fuel, 3 people, gear, i'm guessing around 4800 fully loaded. With the 21p, the boat is a slug...

    Hi all. I bought a 1994 Astro Fish and ski from someone who was pretty unfamiliar with his own boat, (new boater, only had it 1 year) didn't fish, and had no idea how to operate all the goodies.

    I'm the proud new owner of a 1994 18' Astro fish and ski with a Mercury 115hp of the same year. The motor is oil injected.

    I've posted about this a couple of times and have read a few other posts about similar problems.

    1979 Merc 40 prop question???

    It had a 15P stainless prop that had been on it for apparently many year as i had to burn the rubber out of the hub to get it off. I'm replacing the prop with a 12P so the motor will get into the correct RPM range. The 12P prop i have came off of a 1988 60hp 3cyl. Merc. The splines are the same...
