Just moved to CO, now boating in freshwater only, vice salt. I tried to find any posts, but could not. Since now I am in freshwater, do I need to flush after every use?
The 2nd part is where? I keep the boat stored at a storage facility with no access to water. I don't the room where I live to...

Most definitely will be making the move from Fl to Colorado Springs. Been out there a few times to check things out and look how the boating will be, Not Fl ocean, but still some good choices. Looking in the Colorado Springs / Manitou Springs areas...
Currently in South Florida but most likely moving to Colorado Springs area next year. The question I am asking is how is the overall boating community? Down here it seams like 80% of the boaters don't care about other boaters, navigation rules ,and general boat safety. I would assume most don't...
2015 Stingray with F250 Yamaha, uflex manual steering (no hyd pump)
I noticed that the hose that connects to the right fitting ( if looking at it from the from) is crimped over alittle bit. Should I replace it? I do not have any issues steering,so I believe the integrity of the cable is good...
You can get some clamps from almost any marine store or do it yourself store.
something like this works just fine.
You need to predrill the holes, countersink the gel coat so it doesn't split and seal with silicone.
I just hooked up my Yamaha F250 to my N2k backbone to a Garmin. All engine data is correct, with the exception of the trim position. it is WAY OFF.
The analog gauge is working fine.
I did connect the 2 pink wires at the engine, before I did that, it was not displaying on the Garmin.
I did not...

Both leads coming from the VSR are going to only 1 battery. Shouldnt a lead go to each...
Currently have a 21' deck boat and will be getting a 26-28' cruiser.
I know there will be big differences in the 2, but for anyone that made the leap, what some things that you didn't anticipate?
I will be using the boat for overnight/ weekend trips, so generator is a must.

I am looking to get a simple 1 camera wireless camera system to watch the boat, mainly during storms and high winds.
I work with higher systems, but the monthly cost will eventually overcome the one time cost.
what is anyone using or seen out there?
thanks
I am looking to flush mount a chart plotter into my helm panel and looking for a helm panel "blank". Just the panel without the holes cut in for the gauges.
the finish is the gnarled wood grain, so would like to keep that theme going.
Are there any companies out there that does this?
I been...
VP 5.0 GXI-F w/SX-M 1.66 outdrive
I had to pull the engine to replace the inner transom plate, so after I put the engine back in, I checked the alignment. The tool would go in, but was very difficult. There was defently spline marks on the top, and very little on the bottom.
I adjusted the front...

Long story short was re-installing my steering cylinder after replacing an o-ring and the lower tab that hold the cylinder to the transom bracket broke. Don't know how, well I do, but never felt/had any warnings.
So I think my options are:

Seems right. This is a pic of the program that I use.
for the actual cable, I cut off the 3.5mm jack on the adapter and solder the lead that was to the center to pin 8 on the cmd mic plug(green) and the lead that was going to the sleeve(bottom) to pin 4 (blue) on the cmd mic plug.
the tip of the...
