    Out drive leaking.

    It was leaking around the transom plate. Put marine silicone around it and it stopped. Hoping it gets me by while on vacation what should I be looking at to get this fixed?

    Out drive leaking.

    If it sat with water in it other than the little maybe 1” under the motor that I couldn’t get to drain when I winterized it plug out. It was 7 years ago before I bought it. I would think if it was going to have issues it would have 5+ years ago. Maybe I’m wrong. Hope not.

    Out drive leaking.

    I’ve had the boat since 2014 and had it in the water less than 60 times, spread over 7 years. It has been in the water 3 different times for 14 days each time in 2014, 2016 and 2019. Boat has been stored in the garage since I owned it and interior when I got it looks like it was well maintained...

    Out drive leaking.

    How hard is it to pull the out drive? Can two of us do this pretty easily? I took it to a shop they didn’t have to fix it but did try and look for a hole and couldn’t find anything. I had another question. When I took this video the boat was on the trailer. I left the back straps on the boat...

    Out drive leaking.

    I’m guessing this leak is from bellows. We’ve looked at them and don’t see any damage they, actually look great. Maybe we are missing something. Could this leak be come from something else? Sorry for the bad video could barely reach back there. This is about 4” above drain plug in bilge. Tahoe...

    Cracked Hull

    My uncle hit something while out boating and took on a lot of water. Cracked the hull about 1 1/2’ to 2’. Luckly no no one was hurt. He won’t trust his GPS again. Is this something repairable or is it done??

    Single point drain system leaking need name of part

    Looks like I need to replace the bottom part of the single point drain system. Where the blue plug screws in is leaking. If I thigten it up the leak gets worse. So I'm guessing the bottom piece has a crack in it. What is the name of the bottom part where the blue plug is located?

    Depth finder flashing

    My depth finder (3800 Lowarnce, factory installed) flashes, when traveling 20+ MPH, and when the water depth is over 25'. If I slow down it reads fine, and if the depth gets below 25' even at 20+ MPH it "seems" to work just fine. I have a thru hull transducer and is located behind the engine...

    Lowrance LST-3800 Flashes when doing 20+ mph

    My depth finder Lowrance LST-3800 flashes, when traveling 20+ MPH, and when the water depth is over 25' (or at least that seems to be the 2 key factors). If I slow down it reads fine, and if the depth gets below 25' even at 20+ MPH it seems to work just fine. It is a through haul, and sits...

    Transducer location

    Does anyone know where I can find the Transducer location on the Tahoe? I'm guessing it is thru the hull since I do not have anything on the stern of the boat. I took a quick glance at the bottom of the boat and didn't see anything wondering if it could be under on of the boards on the trailer...
