    ESC module on an OMC

    So since iboats is censoring links I can't see what people are talking about when they say they replaced their ESC modules? I just spent months replacing the lower half of my drive ( blown clutch dog) and got it back on the water today... shifts perfectly into gear... is a bear to get out...

    Anyone have the webpage for the nicer version of the hastings shift adjustment guide?

    I came across a website that laid out what he said in a bit more easy to understand guide, has anyone else seen this one? Do you remember where you found it? Or - is there a "complete dummies guide to OMC shift cable" walk through? I'm kind of up a stream without a paddle. I've read the...

    Good thing I bought that worthless outdrive paint part 2 (with pics)

    I just LOVE wasting money, At this point I think it would have probably been better if I just didn't paint anything. WTF ::mad::facepalm: Water is Long Island Sound On a side note, I obviously seem to have bought the wrong bottom paint too?? Funny I didn't repaint this winter and last...

    Saltwater guys: Out Drive spray paint is worthless.....do NOT waste your money.

    This is the can of worthless spraypaint that I used - actually two of them. I scuffed up my outdrive, then painted my outdrive with this EXPENSIVE AS SH!* paint and just today I took a look. I actually have green grassy looking stuff GROWING from the out drive. Tomorrow I'm going to pull the...

    Vacation in NC (11hr drive) on a lake and I want a boat... should I just tow mine?

    Trying to figure out how to have a boat at my rental home on lake norman in North Carolina. Problem is it's something like 250 bucks per 8 hours for a toon. Can't pay anywhere NEAR that to have a boat for 7 days at the house's dock. I figure I have a great boat here - my only problem is the...

    This boat cruised by me yesterday with some family on the bridge... god...... it was like watching ART cruise by me on the water... I couldn't pay attention to anyone on my boat.

    What if my boat gets blown away? Will insurance cover it?

    Right now, my boat is tied to a mooring with line that is strong enough to hold a 75ft boat (mine is 20). Today was an awesome day until the wind changed to coming from the north, at a steady 15 with gusts to 30. I know the mooring will hold no problem, I'm worried about the line! What's funny...

    The Clueless boater thread (Post pics if Possible)!!!

    For a while I've thought of starting this thread. It's a place, for you, to post pictures of the most clueless boaters you can find. My first entry is this guy. This is at the end of a 15 min (NO WAKE) harbor ride. The green can on the right and then the red triangle on the left (but further...

    Need more sun protection on the boat... had a melanoma. 2003 Bayliner 195BR

    This Quickly turned into a HUGE deal last month. Now I'm sitting here typing this with full clothing and a big hat on. Right now the boat has this kind of bimini. What do you think would be the best way to get a bit more sun protection? Most of the time I'm out here alone so it really...

    Boat was clean on Wed. Took it out today (Friday) and there's dog hair ALL over!!

    If I ever catch someone chillin on my boat while at the dock I'm going to press charges so fast they wont know what hit them. On Wed I went down and checked out the boat around noon. It was nice and clean as usual. Today I go down after work and as I'm just hanging I notice there's dirt and...

    About a mile out! http://www.speedtest.net/result/1290264587.png Def going to be leaving the office more often this summer now that I can actually "do more work" on the boat thanks to the higher speeds.

    I need to safely heat up my boat and melt all the snow that's inside it.

    2004 Bayliner 19.5 ft bow rider. With all this white crap (and an inch of ice this morning) that has been falling on me and the boat.........the tarp that I had covering it ripped and the mooring cover that was a secondary line of defense ended up caving in. What happened next was I tried to...

    Boats were rocking and rolling at the dock just now!

    Apparently the wind hardly ever comes out of the south here in CT. However tonight it's coming in JUST the right direction to cause this! (watch it in 720p) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI8VhF6aa18

    Non-boaters, do we blame them??? Just left a girl at the dock!

    Invited this girl out with me today. She's been looking forward to it all week. As she shows up she mentions that she has to be back IN at 3:30pm. I apologized but told her there is no way I'm going to be back at the dock at 3:30. However I told her she's welcome to come out tomorrow if she...

    Forget "2 foot itis" I have "10 foot itis"

    Currently I have a 19 foot bow rider up here in CT. I'd really like something MUCH bigger. However of course I'm on a TIGHT budget! I've seen and heard of people getting great deals on bigger boats. But for some reason I'm having trouble finding one! I'm talking like 28 - 30 feet it can be...
