    Transom on 98 Nitro 700lx bass boat

    I'll probably end up snapping the whole thing off, but that will be my next step. To fill and recover with a different plastic piece! Thanks

    Transom on 98 Nitro 700lx bass boat

    I noticed a day ago that the transom has a plastic "cover" over it as wide as the transom. It is held in by 2 screws and the outboard plate. One side has gotten brittle and broken off, leaving exposure to get between the fiberglass possibly down to the wood. Can I silicone this exposed area...

    Mercury alarm noise

    on a 98 nitro with 90hp Mercury. I have a constant alarm that will not go away. The alarm has a purple wire and a brown/blue wire. I found it back at engine going to a temperature sensor.

    What to use for winter stabilization

    I will have a nitro 700 with a 90hp merc on it in a storage facility this winter and was wondering what stabilizer to use on it. I have Sta-bil Storage. Will this be ok, or is seafoam or something else better?

This started to drip through the cover and saturate the decking. I always leave my drain out when not in use, so its been draining. However in the last day temps...

    Sunpad tie down

    My 1983 Ebbtide has a large sunpad and is only on a rear hing. The other day while trailoring the wind lifted the pad and stripped the screws out and blew it off. I had it recovered, but how can I keep it down and look nice also so it will not blow off again?

    1983 Ebbtide seats

    My Ebbtide Catalina boat seats that sit in the middle (I call them back to back seats or driver and passanger) are in bad shape and the wood is falling appart. I cannot find any that are similar in size. They are a strange design. The seat that is back to the front one is smaller. All the new...

    1983 305 898 questions

    I just bought a 1983 Ebbtide with a 305 898 Mercruiser. I have 2 questions. First off, when it is running it has a ticking noise that concerns me. Sounds like it's coming from the left side. Second, when at idle it will tend to want to die at times. Is this fixed just like a car by turning...
