    Hey All, Just a quick question on Max RPM's.<br /><br />I bought a used 22 foot walkaround this past spring with a 150 Yami Ox66.

    Anchor roller

    My arm is too short! I have a 1999 22ft Century WA with a pulpit mounted anchor roller. Apparently the prior owner docked by touch instead of site, because the roller has come loose from the pulpit. I figure no problem, I'll just tighten that bad boy up...right? Not happening! The bolts are...

    Outboard in a Slip

    Hey all, <br /><br />I am used to flushing an outboard after each use when the boat comes out of the water. If I keep my boat in a slip, do you still flush the outboard or just keep it in the water?

    Repowered Merc 150 EFI

    Hi, I am looking at a 1999 WA with a freshly repowered Merc 150 EFI. Just wanted to know how much is a repowered head worth towards the value of the boat? The seller is asking about 2000 more than I think the boat is worth. If it didn't have the repowered head. For any of the mechanics out...

    1999 or 1997 Suzuki 150 EFI

    Hi all, I was looking at a 1999 Key West for sale today and the guy claimed the engine was a 1999 as well. I noticed on the mounting bracket the serial number was 9712144, Wouldn't that mean the engine is a 1997? <br /><br />Any ideas would be appreciated as the boat was in good condition otherwise.
