    How to deal with snow on boat?

    Hey Guys, Looking for ideas how the rest of you deal with it snowing on your boat in the winter. This is my first winter with the boat so I've not faced this problem yet. I have a 1991 Bayliner with a form fitting cover. It's basically like a huge scoop that catches rain etc. I had to build...

    Ignition rotor frozen on solid

    So last week I pulled the distributor cap for inspection after seeing as how the spark plugs looked to be completely worn and shot (I'm the new owner of the boat). I see the cap and rotor are just as worn and terrible looking. I pick up replacements. Wow that rotor was on there solid. Could...

    Educate me on depth finders and GPS units

    So I'd really like a depth finder on the boat so I can tell how deep or not so deep the lake is in questionable spots. This was my original interest which got me thinking about them. I figured well if I'm installing a unit it might as well have GPS too so I don't always have to pull out my...

    Where can I find these gauges?

    anit seize on spark plug threads?

    I've been browsing the forums in general and found comments about automotive anti seize been commonly called "ever seize" on boats due to the moisture. Does this apply to spark plug threads too? I'm not sure if the 4.3 V6 motor has aluminum heads or not. I could grab a magnet and check but...

    Mercruiser 4.3 thermostat location?

    Hey Guys, I have a 91 Mercruiser 4.3 V6 and the issue I was having is the temp gauge shows cold all the time unless you idle for a period of time then the temp will come up. If you get on the gas it swings to cold in about 3 seconds flat. I pulled off this big water manifold of sorts with...

    5 blade prop on my bayliner

    Hey Guys, Just picked up a 91 bayliner capri 2050 with a 4.3 v6. Nice clean looking boat. It's my first boat so I have a lot of questions and figuring stuff out. One thing I'm confused about is it has a 5 blade prop on it. I don't see these on other boats, they all have 3 or 4 blades that I...
