    1996 Evinrude 60 hp lower unit water leak

    After a recent trip, I decided to flush the cooling circuit after being in some sandy silt water. I have never noticed this before on the muffs but I had a small stream of water coming from the mating surface between the lower unit and the mid-section, on the starboard side. I proceeded to...

    1998 Mercury 9.9 prop parts

    Hello iboat folks. I recently acquired this motor and I noticed the prop would slide back and forth on shaft so I looked online for the parts that are supposed to be there and I noticed it was missing (or so I think) a spacer. With the other parts, there is only 1 way I found that they would...

    Information on a 198? Sundown Daytona 12'

    Hey folks, I have friend that requested my help in selling his boat for him so I'm looking for information on these boats. I've seen a handful of them over the years but I know nothing about them. I think they may have been produced in California. I've searched the internet with little...

    Lake of the Ozarks rental

    Hey all. I am hoping to put together a 2 family (8 - 10 people) vacation at LOZ next year and ideally, I'd like to rent a waterfront house with 2 slips or a good dock. Any tips on finding such a thing and how much can we expect to pay? More than likely, we'd arrive on a Sunday and leave on...

    Bunks positioned wrong?

    While recently under my "new to me" boat, installing a keelsheild, I noticed there is some gelcoat scraping and wear on my lowest strakes. The previous owner had, within the last few years, replaced the bunks. I think he may have positioned the forward portion of the inner bunks incorrectly as...
