    Bow and Cockpit Tonneau Covers

    Hello all, I'm looking for a bow and cockpit cover similar to below to keep on my boat while it is in the slip. The problem is my 2009 Q5 SF does not have any snaps installed on the bow or cockpit windshield, etc. Seems the only covers i can find are snap covers. Does anyone know of another...

    Engine hour gauge

    Where would you hook up a scan tool? I’m pretty sure mine doesn’t have any brains to store any info.

    Engine hour gauge

    Yeah I get that and that’s a valid point. I was looking to use one for maintenance intervals as well. I tend to lose track when I write stuff down.

    Engine hour gauge

    Hey- my boat didn’t come with a engine hours counter gauge and is the carbed 4.3 Merc so no electronic method to get info. Does anyone know of a decent product that hooks up to tach? - that I could add on to at least capture the hours I put on the boat from now on ? Thanks for any suggestions.

    Tahoe boat

    My second boat is a 2k9 Tahoe q5i sf. With the 4.3 Merc. Nice boat and cared for well which is important. Only issue I had was it seemed the seats had more stich lines than necessary, probably for aesthetics but they started to rip apart. I had them re upholstered and had them use more of a one...

    Boat covers

    Hey all, I’m looking to get a new boat cover for a 2009 Tahoe Q5i SF. I am looking for somewhat of a custom cover that is tight enough that rain would roll off without the need of a support pole and , if possible that same cover could be used for trailering. Curious for suggestions on vendors...

    Lake test was successful, was able to achieve 4500 RPM WOT, engine sounded good, no water in bilge. Guess im all good, dodged a bullet with the core plug popping out ?

    4.3 L Mercruser

    yeah i know! - i must not have used the wire enough or forgot in that drain plug area. No water in oil or any other leaks are present. the shop had it out on lake for around 30 mins after they repaired it and said all seemed fine.

    4.3 L Mercruser

    Serial#- 1A340702 - I was told the shop checked alignment, i had them put on a new transom kit because i noticed my lower shift boot bellow had a tear in it. I retraced each spark plug cable on distributor cap to the correct cylinder ( firing order i found for that boat is, facing towards the...

    What is a preferred method for removal of the gimbal bearing (hummer vs puller)?

    For what it's worth, I used a gear puller and a couple heaves it popped right out. reinstall I used a thick PVC tube with diameter that fit around the solid part of the bearing and with a wood block, tapped it into place.

    4.3 L Mercruser

    Hello, Installed new spark plugs, dist cap & rotor , fuel/water filter. Might just be imagining , but thought the engine was vibrating a little more than I thought it did last season. read that possible cylinder misfires could contribute to this? Is the easiest way to check for misfire to...
