    BG44K Fuel Treatment

    Anyone ever use this in their boat fuel tank? We used a can in our 2005 Durango SLT 169,000 miles on it and it fixed our gas gauge as well as it feels like it runs better/smoother. Our boat is a 1992 Celebrity 200 Cuddy w/a Mercruiser 5.7L I/O V8 350 Chevy engine with 235 hours on it. The...

    Fulton XLT 10.0 Inquiry

    Now have this installed on our 27' boat trailer that holds our 20' Celebrity Cuddy. When we watched the video on how to use, it was never shown how the winch strap snap is undone from the bow eye of the boat, when launching or retrieving it. In both launching and retrieving, the winch strap snap...

    What is the very least a boater can do to winterize their boat? Have a 1992 Celebrity 200 (20') Cuddy Cabin. Have had it 10 1/2 years and bought it in northeastern Florida. Most Boat/RV Storage places there have access to water for their space renters. We are now living back in Colorado, but...

    Things To Be Done Before Transporting A Boat/Trailer

    First, it's a 1992 Celebrity 200 Cuddy Cabin that will be on a 2004 EZ Load Dual Axil trailer. It will be going Interstate. Take the stern plug out, so any rainwater can drain out of bilge. Now, I was told this by a friend that has transported his boat a number of times from Michigan to...

    Freshwater Prop Anode Info Needed

    We have a 1992 20' Celebrity Cuddy Cabin. Have had this boat since April 2009. From what we know, it has never been in freshwater. Originally from Washington State and used on a Puget Sound there and then brought here to Jacksonville, FL. The water here is "brackish", combo of salt/fresh. The...

    What Are These For?

    One of these screws down to the floor on each side of our engine. One facing the batteries and the other facing a small open space. I'm figuring they have something to do with engine heat, but just not sure. Anyone know?

    Outdoor Boat Storage

    Anyone here rent an outdoor spot at a Boat/RV Storage place? NOT an "inside" type, aka "barn" type, but an outdoor spot? If so, is there an electronic gate? Do people live on the premises? Is water available for cleaning the boat? A week ago, we rented an outside spot, for our cuddy cabin on...

    Cuddy Cabin Boats

    Anyone here have a cuddy cabin boat? If you have one, how do you use the cuddy cabin? Ever slept in it? I also know that there are cuddy cabins that are more "self-contained" than our is. The larger ones have a very small stove and frig. Ours does not. I also know they aren't made anymore and...

    Boat Owners Are Rich?

    Apparently some folks think if you have a power boat, no matter what the year, you are rich or "very well off". Same goes for those that own a motorhome or other recreational stuff. We've had folks wonder about us, even though our boat is a 1992, not a 2018.

    How Old Is Your Boat?

    Ours is a 1992 Celebrity 200 Cuddy Cabin w/a 5.7L (350) I/O. From looking at the boats on the racks at our Dry Storage, I'd say we have the oldest boat there. Actually, we are lucky, our boat is the only boat, of it's age, that our marine service will work on. Thing is, the service doesn't get...

    Electric Boat Winch

    Since my wife's strength isn't what it was years ago, we have been seriously thinking about having an electric winch installed on our trailer. When we lived in Colorado, 28 miles south of Denver, the ramps of both lakes we would launch at, had floating docks. I'd back the boat down the ramp...

    Older And Newer Boats Concerning Brackish Water And Saltwater

    Probably have the oldest boat in our Dry Storage, it being a 1992 20' Celebrity Cuddy. Actually, our Dry Storage only has a roof and sides to it, with racks to sit boats on. Not a building that is fully covered. Anyway, what I'm wondering about is, does "brackish" (combined salt/fresh) water and...

    Interstate Boat Transporting

    If our 20' 1992 Celebrity 200 Cuddy w/5.7L I/O continues running good this summer, we want to have it taken to northern Colorado from Jacksonville, FL next May. We plan on moving to there then. Wife and I are too old and inexperience to haul the boat that far ourselves. Even if we were younger...

    Moving Boat From Brackish Water To Freshwater

    Making plans on moving, us and boat, from Jacksonville, FL to northern Colorado (Front Range) or southeastern Wyoming. Was told by our Mercruiser mechanic that we'd need to change the anodes and prop before using on freshwater lakes. Is this true and is there anything else we would need to do...

    Boat: 1992 Celebrity 200 Cuddy Cabin w/Mercruiser 5.7L I/O ​Has a regular gas pump, but giving some thought to installing an electric fuel pump next Spring. Actually, having our Mercruiser mechanic do it. An electric fuel pump does shoot the gas up to the carb faster than a regular fuel pump...
