    2002 Merc 90 2-Banger

    Looking to purchase a used Nitro bass boat with a 2002 Mercury 2-stroke 90 on the back. Owner stated he has just done a compression check and she has near 110 on all cylinders. Does any one know the stats on what the compression should be? The fact that all cylinders are equal is a good sign...

    Removing Duoprop Props

    ~~I own Volvo Duoprop SX and need to change the out drive oil. The owners manual states that a specialty tool P/N 3855516 is needed to remove the props. Does anyone know what this tool is?

    Winch Stand

    I actually have negative tongue weight. I have to sit on tongue to connect to my hitch. This is a reused trailer aluminum I-beam trailer from my previous 21' boat. New boat is 23.5' but fits within the trailer 6000# specks easily. Just needs to be rebalanced. I took it to a trailer shop and they...

    Volvo 5.0 Power Steering Pump

    I have a 2005 Volvo 5.0 Duoprop with a noisy PS pump. Fluid was low when I purchased her and adding fluid did not resolve a "growl" from the pump. It is still functioning, but at idle, I find the steering 'choppy'. Belt is tight, I am thinking the pump needs replacement. But where did the...

    Chaparral 236 SSi

    I just purchased a barely used (93 hrs) Chap 236 SSi and thus far I'm quite pleased with everything about the boat.

    Decking Materials

    I have heard of a newer decking material better than marine plywood. As I understand it, each layer is Wolmanized and then all the layers are epoxied together. Does anyone know what this is called and when did manufacturers start using it?

    Opinions Please

    I'm looking to replace my faithful 20 year old bowrider. I looked at an Azure 20' deck boat w/5.0 Volvo Penta. What is the build quality of Azure? I'm not familiar with them. Are they on par with Regal/SeaRay/Chaparrel/Four Winns?
