I have a 2004 Tennessee tandem axle galvanized boat trailer with 3,500 pound axles and drum surge brakes on the rear axle. Under normal conditions there is about 6,000 pounds on the axles. Round trip from the house to the lake and back is 200 miles. I probably do that about 10 to 12 times a...
Okay, I guess there is a difference in an O ring and a washer. I never thought much about it. Anyway, it's whatever circular rubber piece comes with the plug. I am wondering if maybe one got stuck on the hole when I removed the plug and I'm trying to screw the new one in and have two.
Maybe this...
I have a 2004 Rinker 232 Captiva BR with a Mercrusier 350 Mag and B3 outdrive. It has the single point drain system with 2 blue plugs on the raw water pump, one on the thermostat housing, and one at the bottom right of the engine where all the drain hoses come together in one ball shaped...
A mini can be a 4,000 pound machine, a 10,000 pound machine, or larger. They are pretty easy to operate. They are great for digging ditches and holes. They are pretty useless for making or maintaining roads.
My 2004 trailer with drum brakes didn't have a lock-out solenoid. It's uphill into my garage and I could not back it in there. The drum brakes were very effective up hill in reverse. I had a solenoid installed at a local trailer shop and now it works just fine to back the trailer up a grade.

The front compartment is likely an anchor compartment. It could be a cooler, or you could use it for that I guess. I highly recommend you have an anchor sized for your boat and desugned for the type of terrain you boat around.
Thre is a bypass. The raw water pump is always running. The water has to go somewhere when the T-stat is closed. Further the presure from your water hose from your house will push water thru the system even if the pump is bad. So, running on the hose proves nothing except the engine runs.
You need to find out why the boat won't start correctly and fix that. My '97 Larson was hard to start for years. The right mechanic finally replaced the ignition module and it fired right up after that.
Running your impeller dry will destroy it almost instantly.
I found the leak in our tube, a very small slit. The tube came with a repair patch that is just a clear 2" x 2" patch that you're supposed to stick over the hole. It really doesn't stick well and looks like it will probably come off with the first use.
The tube bladder is supposedly PVC. I use...
Do you own a volt meter or more correctly a multi-meter that has a continuity function?
I'd much rather have a boat with breakers than one with fuses. If your breakers are rusty that's a bad sign. A new breaker or fuse block isn't that much money.
I didn't say anything about horsepower. I'm talking about the btu content of the fuel. There is simply more energy (btus) in a gallon of regular gas versus a gallon of E10. You probably can make more HP with E10 if the engine is set up right but you will use more fuel to do it. You can't just...
I've had some experience with an '89 Bayliner that looked almost exactly like that one back in 2002 and 2003. It was a project at that point: new floor, engine work, upholstery work, etc. I did get it fixed up and used it for a couple years. It belonged to my neighbor and she was paying for...
