    Adding A Stern Mounted Trim Switch

    This looks to be the same as what WM has on their website, but unsure of the quality of this one.

    Adding A Stern Mounted Trim Switch

    Correct......mostly for operating while it's on the trailer for stowing, flushing, maintenance, etc. Being able to raise and lower while looking directly at the skeg to ground clearance.

    Adding A Stern Mounted Trim Switch

    I'm going to add a trim switch closer to the outdrive for convenience. My swim platform has two hinged compartments, one contains the ladder. The other one is where I think I'm going to mount it, as it is directly over the trim pump assembly in the engine compartment. My question is.....what...

    Alpha I Gen II Impeller Replacement

    Okay, thanks for the clarification.....I have that same kit. I was getting mixed up, thought that Dubs was referring to the shaft seal in the upper housing. But that one requires a lot of disassembly.

    Alpha I Gen II Impeller Replacement

    If loctite was going to be used as a thread sealant wouldn't blue be best? The kit did not come with a driveshaft seal, when I drained the lube there was no water in it that I could see. The tube and bushing don't look deformed, but the receiver hole in the upper did have corrosion on the...

    Alpha I Gen II Impeller Replacement

    Thanks for the advice, I will definitely back flush. She runs in saltwater so I am going to put something on the threads as they are all slightly corroded. I already have the QuickSilver impeller kit. The old impeller is in-tact with only minor wear marks on the blades, it feels just as soft as...

    Alpha I Gen II Impeller Replacement

    I have a couple of questions for the experts here. This is the first time I have replaced the impeller on this outdrive. While removing the lower unit, I found that the front mounting bolt had red loctite on it, not sure why. After removing the lower unit, I found that there was no water seal...

    Best Brand Of Storage Cover???

    This is my tented frame to support the cockpit area, the stern end piece actually rests against the bimini bows when folded flat to retain the shape, there is also a center post I use for the bow area.

    Best Brand Of Storage Cover???

    If I had gone 4 years before I had problems then it might not be as big of a deal, but 18 months in is when I first started having problems. Last summer I cleaned and retreated, which I never did with my original cover. That retreatment only lasted maybe 4-6 months, hard to say because I don't...

    Best Brand Of Storage Cover???

    That is what is so aggravating with this one. I have a really good support system, built an entire structure out of PVC tubing that keeps the cover tented, it does not allow water to pool anywhere. I do not trailer this thing with the cover on, even though the manufacturer says it can be done...

    Restoring 92 ranger 397v carpet and seats

    They have a lot of material options and will send you samples so you can match up colors on your boat. I had one piece that had a binding stitch starting to come undone.........customer service is great, they said just send it back at the end of the season and we'll fix it, which they did.

    Restoring 92 ranger 397v carpet and seats

    Try Matworks in Georgia. You pick the type of carpet/color and binding, send them your patterns. I had them make up a new set of carpets for mine, spot on....quality stuff.

    Best Brand Of Storage Cover???

    Several years ago I had a Taylor Made storage cover for my first boat, used it for six or seven seasons, never had any issues with it. For my current boat I bought Westland with the Sharkskin material, but it does not do a good job of keeping rain water out. I have a support system that keeps...
