    My Stupid Human Trick

    Got a good one for you all....<br /><br />Bought a brand new boat last year - a Bayliner 175, 17 1/2 foot bowrider with inboard 135hp Mercruiser.

    I have the Mercruiser 3.0 engine (130hp) in my 2003 Bayliner 175. Since it is new, they painted the oil filter with the block and I can't read the Oil Filter. Anyone know what the FRAM P/N is for this oil filter?

    O/D or Not????

    I've seen several different references on whether or not you should tow in O/D. Most of the posts say not too, but several say do it. I own a 1985 16ft Bayliner Capri with an 85hp O/B motor. References I've found say that towing weight is approx. 2,000 lbs. (Is that about right?) The owners...
