    Upgrade from small swim platform to large?

    I have a 2004 Bayliner 195 that has a small swim platform/ladder extending off the starboard side of the stern.

    Ran motor (in driveway) without oil in lower unit?

    Hi all, I'm very new to boating and just got a 2004 Bayliner 195 bowrider with the 3.0 Mercruiser 135hp that's carbureted and was well taken care of. After using it a few times I've decided to change out the impeller because it seems like it hasn't been done in a while and I saw the engine temp...
