    Tach not working

    About mid summer my tach quit working, it is stuck on about 2500 rpms. I checked the connections on the back of the gauge and they appear good. Where should I start looking? 1999 chris craft 200 bowrider 5.0GiPWTR SN 4110190894 Volvo SX outdrive

    My boat is no way oxidixed, but I am wanting a quality wax to put on my boat to help keep the boat looking clean and really shine as long as possible. What do you guys use?

    Water line removal?

    My white boat has developed a yellowish stain where the water line is. I detailed it when I winterized it but the regular washing did not remove it. I saw on Shipshape that Flitz Calcium lime rust remover would remove it very easily. Has anyone used this or have any other product that works?

    Coast Guard Flotilla?

    I ran across a Coast Guard website describing a local volunteer flotilla. It looks like a great way to help promote boating safety and help people while enjoying the water. Does anyone have any experience with this, or are any of you a member?

    Mildew and Mold eliminator

    During the summer I take my boat out of the water every weekend and cover it with the factory covers as well as a tarp and leave it at the lake house. I wipe it down and try to let it air out before I cover it but sometimes the carpet is still a little moist. I am noticing small areas of black...

    Almost took a life Saturday

    Coming back from dinner late Saturday night on the boat, probably around 11pm or so. Our lakehouse is in a no wake slough. I'm probably doing 30-35 approaching the no wake markers. I shut it down about 100 yards before the markers and I faintly hear someone hollar "no wake!" I look around and...

    Wakeskate=Awesome

    My 2nd weekend on the wakeskate and I am liking it more and more. The slower speed makes it alot easier to fall which makes me more brave to try new things. I have never surfed before so I can only assume that this is really close to the feeling surfers get. I plan on landing a jump soon. Now...

    Wakeskate

    I tried the wakeskate for the first time saturday and now I have to have one. The one I rode did not have any fins on the bottom, obviously I cannot tell if it is easier or what the fins would actually do. I am looking at a used board on craigslist and it has fins on it front and back, as a...

    Vinyl Tear

    Over the weekend I developed a tear in my vinyl sunning pad that covers the engine. Its not on the seam but about 1/8" away. I dont want to take the whole cover off and repair it but I do want to fix it good. There was some type of sealer on the rip when I bought the boat but it got worse this...

    Forward/Reverse cable

    99 Chris Craft 200 bowrider 5.0GiPWTR SN 4110190894 with a SX outdrive. Is there a way to lubricate the gear cable to prevent seizing?

    First time to splash and it wont go into gear

    99 Chris Craft 200 bowrider 5.0GiPWTR SN 4110190894 with a SX outdrive. The throttle lever will rev the engine when I push in the button but it will not engage the gear to make the boat go forward or reverse. I pull up on the red button on the underneath side of the throttle but it will not move...
