When you're standing on the bank of a river at the end of the summer and you can see the mud that's dried out and scaly that's what the gelcoat looks like on top of the cabin of my boat and its of course chalky so clearly very dry can it be rehydrated and saved with a product or does it need a...
I need to relocate my new to me boat and it doesn't have the front eyelet that boats have for the trailer winch to connect to is there a tried and true way to trailer it without that? I think I'm going to wrap 10k straps around the stern and have them meet at the bow then hook the winch to it...
I keep searching Google for specs and other info and it seems I'll never find wiring diagrams or anything informational on my boat it's a 1972 Trojan F-25 according to decoding the working HIN but there's nothing coming up when I search for it. Any ideas?
I can't find a straight answer to the apparently agree old question is the 485 a good engine or not. Some people swear their great others hate them with a passion all I've found is with new risers and an alternator added their fine but that doesn't account for the aluminum block with iron heads...

Alright I'm trying to sell this boat and I don't think it wants to be sold it started getting hot on the first sea trial so I changed both water pumps upper and lower to guarantee it wouldn't be an issue (spending 80 to get 3400 is worth it) it still heats up at low rpm in the water but holds...
My boat has gen 1 alpha drives on it and the port drive needs a rebuild, a buddy of mine has an old pre-alpha that came off his old boat with the same size engine my question is can I use his drive next to my good alpha without completely messing things up until I can get mine rebuilt? If not...
