    Will this Laser II work on my Alpha One

    I found a good deal on a 14x19 pitch Laser 2 15 spline 48-16544a45 prop. I can’t figure out why it wouldn’t fit but most Laser 2 info I see is for outboards.

    2000 Rinker 232 5.7 weak engine?

    The boat starts and idles great. I have noticed some missing a little or rpm drops at WOT but nothing severe. The prop that came on it was a aluminum 3 blade 15 pitch and the boat would top out around 40mph at 4400 rpm. I chipped a chunk out of one of the blades on the last time out so I...

    Securing bow cushions to hull without full access

    I have a 94 Rinker 180 and the plywood in the bow cushions that mount to the hull has rotted out. I'm replacing the wood and would like to know how are people securing these when they don't have access to tighten them down from the backside. I've thought of some type of clip or possibly...

    Picking up a used Glastron tonight

    I found what I consider to be a steal on a 96' Glastron GS-249 in great shape for about 40% of NADA value. It has the 5.7L Volvo Penta and SX Drive. I currently have a 94' Rinker Captiva 180 for sale and a few suspecting buyers. I couldn't pass up the deal on this one since we've been wanting to...

    Merc 3.0LX starting issues

    Re: Merc 3.0LX starting issues This is a picture of the controller that I have. It's not my pic as I'm at work but the exact same controller. Mine does have the trim switch where the blank spot is on this one on the handle. I can get pictures of mine tonight if needed.

    Merc 3.0LX starting issues

    I've had these issues since I acquired the boat last year. Its a 94' 3.0LX motor with the mercarb. The engine will generally not start cold or hot without holding it WOT and will run great after started. The fact that my throttle only button is broke makes the problem worse as I have to have...

    94' 3.0LX Hard to Start Cold...

    Re: 94' 3.0LX Hard to Start Cold... Well, I checked it out and I believe I have the Quicksilver 3000 from the pictures I've seen and where the button should be is a hole where it's apparently been busted out. It looks like the one in this picture. They have the trailer switch circled but the...

    94' 3.0LX Hard to Start Cold...

    I have a 94' Rinker Captiva 180 with the 3.0LX. It is hard to start when cold. I pump it 3-4 times and crank it over. I can see the choke is kicking on and working as it should but it will crank and just fire enough to sound like it wants to start but not fire over enough to actually start. The...

    94' Rinker with Merc 3.0LX... first time out problems.

    I got a great deal on the boat from a friend by several thousands less than what's it selling for comparably everywhere else so I expected to do some maintenance and fixes. After digging into it, my friends "boat guy" apparently didn't know what he was doing to this boat and has taken my friend...

    Just bought a 94' Rinker Captiva 180.. pics included.

    Bought it off of a friend for a little over $2k which seems like a steal to me. I have personally been out in it and know it is (was) mechanically sound. The inside and out are in great shape and it has a wakeboard tower. It has the Merc 3.0LX (great for fuel) and Alpha One Gen II. Pic below is...
