    My first time winterizing my boat (1st year of ownership). It is a '95 Wellcraft with a 5.7l Mercruiser with Alpha1 Gen 2 drive. I am curious as to what weight oil is recommended for Upstate New York. Also, can I go straight synthetic? Thanks.

    In the top center of the transom is a small, silver framed marker light. The light wasn't working so I removed the frame and it has rusted and is beyond repair. I cannot access if from the cabin side of the boat so I am curious as to how to replace this light. I assume it is part of the nav...

    Just a shout out to the marine store at IBOATS
