    Wake Tower Install on 2002 Bayliner Rendezvous

    HI All, I installed a wake tower on my 2002 Bayliner Rendezvous and used 5200 to glue some plywood squares onto the gunwales where the tower mounts to the sides to reinforce things. However, I'm not really happy about this and only did it to get the kids out on the water. So, I'd like to re-do...

    Volvo 4.3GS Timing Odd Behavior

    On my 1996 vintage Volvo 4.3GS with Holley 4 barrel, I am trying to set the timing. I followed the procedures, started engine, installed timing plug, connected B+ (engine died so I had to start over and crank up the idle RPMs - idle RPM was 650 before I started). I got the timing set to the spec...

    Hello, I bought a 1996 Celebrity 190 a couple of years ago. It has a 4.3L Engine with a Volvo Penta Cobra SX Outdrive. I've been learning about boating and boat maintenance and repair through this boat, trying to have fun with the family on the weekends in between. It's a good enough boat, was...
