    My new trucklet!

    We love ours so far. On this current tank, we are averaging close to 60mpg since we do a lot of local driving.

    New main battery Q

    Yep...used in cars like my mom's Buick which sat under the rear seat. The vent went under the car through the floorboard.

    My new trucklet!

    We just bought our plug in hybrid Hyundai Santa Fe last week. Nice never having to put in gas if all we do is local trips.

    Volvo Penta 740B raw water cooling

    I had an oil cooler fail on my 7.4L Volvo Penta but was likely just metal fatigue rather than corrosion that caused it to fail.

    Trailer Brakes or Not

    The only reason they would bang is if there is air in the system and they need to be bled.

    Trailer Brakes or Not

    I never got around to it but I was considering putting in a wire from the rear of the trailer to the tongue and have a short cable that went to the boat battery to a plug back there. I have to have a breakaway battery for my EOH system.

    Water in 280 dp lower unit but pressure test is good?

    Do you replace the seals around your drain plugs every time? Also, I would also do a vacuum test.

    Trailer Brakes or Not

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

I had a chance to buy my neighbor's 28' Cobalt but 9'9" beam and twin engines were a big no for me. It was perfect condition and...

    Look at the Cobalts. Unfortunately, hard to get since they sell out their allotment early in the year. https://cobaltboats.com/outboards/sc-series/
