    Storage question

    Just wondering if anyone trims their engine all the way down when setting their boat up for storage for extended periods of time (4-6 weeks). I did read some where that it is better for the trim system to leave the outdrive down... Thanks for your input!

    simple question

    Hey guys, I have a 2006 Mercruiser 4.3 MPI and I am sure it has a fuel/water seperator but I don't know where it is. I have heard of these things but honestly have never seen them. Can someone point me in the right direction? How often do you replace it?

    Xterra trailer wiring

    Hey guys, I am towing my boat with a 2010 Nissan Xterra. It did not have a towing package from the dealer-I purchased a hitch and wiring kit and installed myself. My problem is that the running lights do not work. Turn signals and brake lights work just fine. The wiring harness that I got is...

    Leaf Springs vs Torsion

    oddly worn tire

    Hey guys, just bought a new to me 2006 Bayliner 195 with galvanized trailer-single axle. Anyhow, I purchased new wheels/tires for it and already the port side tire is showing a lot of wear but only on the side closest to the boat. When I look at the wheel from the back it is slightly tilted...

    can this prop be used on my boat?

    New guy here... I just recently bought a used High Five prop for my boat. I have a 2006 4.3L Mercruiser that has an aluminum prop on it. I got the High Five to my house, took the current prop off the outdrive and that's when I saw that the High Five was totally different where the prop...

    Self service or off to the shop?

    Hey guys, I recently purchased a 2006 Bayliner 195 with 4.3L Mercruiser and it's almost time to service it. I was just curious-do you guys do your servicing yourselves, or do you take it to the shop?

    Bowrider windshield

    I've got a 2006 Bayliner 195 and last weekend my buddy accidentally sat on the swing away/walk through windshield that leads to the bow (thankfully it was not the curved piece!!) Have any of you had to replace this? I emailed Bayliner and all they could tell me was the part number for the...

    VHF radio

    Hey guys, I was wondering how many of you have VHF radios on your boat. I have a bowrider and while I'll never be offshore was thinking it may come in handy if something happens to the old cell phone.

    tubing

    Hey guys I'm new to the boating scene-just purchased a Bayliner 195 and have a couple tubes that I want to take out. I was wondering if you guys inflate them after you are on the boat or load them up already inflated? They take up so much room once inflated and really get in the way. I know...

    No full throttle! Help!

    I recently put a new drive shaft in my Kawasaki 650 sx and when I took it out for a test run everything ran fine in min wake zone but when it came time to punch the throttle it wouldn't punch. It's normal from zero to mid throttle but mid to full throttle causes no increase in speed. The engine...

    Force Lower Unit

    I have a 1990 50hp Force outboard that needs a lower unit. I'm wondering what years and horse power models would be compatible for this lower unit. It seems that some horse power and years are cross compatible. Thanks for your help
