Thinking of upsizing to a 1987 44ft. Viking or a 1988 46ft Post...Both have Detroits with about 1800 hours per motor...692s in the Post and 671s in Viking...Any comments would be appreciated regarding the boat or motors...Thank you
I have a sliding door that allows access into the cuddy cabin of my regal. It is getting to be very hard to slide back and forth. How do you lubricate the rollers? When open, the door is behind the console and there is no access to it even from the inside. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I have looked through some old threads and have not seen anything related to this subject...How to you grease the rollers to make the cabin door slide back and forth easier? Short of removing the entire console, I cannot see how the door would be removed. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
