    Replacement cone clutch for 1997 Bravo 3

    A guy in another forum is asking about whether this is the part number for the subject part and drive above: cone clutch 807375A2 Other than being unavailable new as an individual part, is there any reason he cannot get a used part and install it with his gear set? For example, must it be...

    Forum messed up again...

    Looks to be fixed now, at least what I can see so far. Ooops, can post image but can't adjust the position or cut the text.

    What do you pull your boat with?

    Photo of this 70 Formula was taken long ago in Everglades City. Now to tow I use my 98 Trans Am which towed the sailboat to Key West twice (400mi each way). The prior 86 Trans Am towed it there once.

    Where did you all start?

    My first fish. I (in red cap) had some help from my little sister and my cousin, also in the photo..... Just kidding, it's a tarpon my dad caught the night before. My first boat was 5' one built from 1/2 of dad's old kayak frame. The canvas covering was long gone so he covered it with fiberglass...

    Private massages don't work

    Once again another flaw in the system? I get some notifications about private messages but I can't view them. Is this site falling apart?

    Use a 1/2" galvanized shackle for a boat lift?

    My boat lift has a galvanized shackle at each corner to attach the compounding pulley to the sling's D-ring. They came with the lift kit. I want to extend the space between the pulley and sling on the front two corners and looked for some galvanized 1/2" chain and 1/2" shackles. But most of...

    Any military veterans here on iBoats?

    First, have a nice Veteran's Day. Perhaps you could share your experiences here in this topic. I'll start if that's ok. I enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1969 and served 4 years of active duty and 2 years of inactive reserve. Worked mostly on Loran C and A transmitting stations with a little...

    Problem with my wimpy little Simrad MFD ;-)

    The small 5" Simrad GO5-XSE MFD that came with my used boat failed a few months after I got the boat so I bought a new one just like the old one. The chart was out of date, so several months ago I bought a new chart, C-Map Insight Pro which I installed to a new 32GB SD card. All worked fine...

    First Time Mercruiser Oil Change - My Experience

    Like the OP, I used the standard manual Quicksilver pump on my 5.7 and it went quickly, maybe 2-3 minutes. Now, the pump was very hot to handle after the heated oil came up so I had to use gloves to hold it.

    No email notifications

    I am not getting forum email notifications as described in the forum settings even though they are enabled with a valid email address. Is that normal because of the limited number of posts I have made, an ongoing issue, or something else? Thanks
