    Swap prop in the water?

    Anyone ever successfully swap out their prop while still in the water? Trying not to have to have the boat hauled. I have a Bravo II outdrive and it can be raised in "trailer" mode which raises it fairly high, but the prop is still under water. I know how to change a prop ashore and I think...

    How to pump out black water tank???

    1993 300. Can't seem to get the flow started and I'm wondering if I need to open a valve somewhere to reduce back-pressure. There is a macerator pump on the boat and it appears to to have a "y" valve but I don't know which position to move it to. I just don't know how the system is supposed...

    Be Prepared for Bad Weather at All Times!!!

    Was anchored in the Potomac off Leesylvania State Park when I saw the storm coming in. Should have been more attentive by 10 minutes and I would have had no problems. Spent several precious minutes getting the anchor up and the winds picked up fast but I got to the marina with one other boat...

    Leaving 4th of July fireworks on the Potomac at DC, thought I switched from anchoring to nav lights; not. Fortunately we were all going slow at that point and the curses from the boat that nearly hit me got my attention!!!!!!!!

    I have new 2004 5.0 motors with about 100hrs on them in a 1993 Rinker 300. One motor has started to die at idle and if I can keep it running it occasionally surges between 1-2000rpm. The problem started within an hour of taking on fuel, but it has not affected my other motor at all so I'm not...

    wiring diagram for blowers

    Just looking for a simple wiring diagram for two blowers on a switch. I could only locate one old blower in the boat and the wires were disconnnected and I could not get any voltage indicated. Rather than trying to salvage the existing wiring, I can run new wires. I installed two new blowers...

    93 Rinker 300 - Identify Toggle Switch

    I don't know what this two-position toggle switch does or if it's even original to the boat (see photo). I've switched it on and off and crawled in/near every cubbyhole when it's quiet and can't hear anything running. Anyone have any ideas?
