    Power steering fluid in bilge?

    In my case, because it was SUCH a mess, I dumped in two gallons of SUPERCLEAN, about a half-bottle of Dawn, and then blasted in about 30 gallons of water. The chemicals emulsified the oil and essentially held it in suspension. Drained it, got a bunch of towels jammed in wherever I could...

    Power steering fluid in bilge?

    Well...don't get TOO comfortable...I had a similar experience a couple of years ago with my Mercruiser 454/Bravo One power steering cooler. I am meticulous about a hyper-clean bilge so you can imagine my horror when I saw a reddish stain in the bilge. Checked everything I could ran it more...

    Trailer tires.

    MANY very good tires made in China...in fact ALL of the OEMs have state-of-the-art tires being made in China. Yes, there are the cheap, "China Bombs" but they are immediately obvious by their price. I have had excellent results with Carlisle tires, the 'high end' version. Goodyear Endurance is...

    2007 Mercruiser Bravo One Service

    NOT that unusual, actually. I have known many owners who never had their Alpha One off. Now most/all DID change the oil in it regularly at least, lol! Definitely time to inspect the U-joints and lube well, along with the aforementioned bellows and miscellaneous O-rings/seals. Buy high QUALITY...

    I HATE AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS!

    most common annoyances with them IS the various issues that cause them to come on (when not needed) or STAY on when they don't need to. Usually caused in some part at least by faulty float switches. Most of the "leaf style" switches fail eventually...and most are in THE most inaccessible part...

    spark plug question

    lol...the plugs are not the cause of your 'dieseling'...you are trying to fix a symptom of a bigger problem! GO FIX THE PROBLEM instead of trying to band-aid it!

    Family of 5, 19ft or 21ft?

    It's not about cramming as many people as there are seat spaces! It has been my experience that coolers, towels, toys, etc will eat up at least two spots. Plus, many of the smaller boats will have ~1,200 pound capacity rating...if you worry about that stuff. Finally, a completely loaded (or...
