    Guide on's on a road runner trailer

    Does anybody know if C.E Smith guide ons will be compatible with my roadrunner trailer? The issue I see is the steps that are welded on the back of my fenders. Sorry I don't have a better picture but It doesn't look like to me that I would be able to mount them on the frame. I will try to get...

    Is my lower unit trashed?

    Ok, so I was out on the lake today, taking it really, really easy, nothing over 30 mph. I kept thinking that I felt a "different" vibration when accelerating. When I pulled the boat out and thats when I looked at my outdrive and noticed a problem. I looked down and saw this, it is nearly a...

    Strength of boat structure

    Sorry I can't think of a better title for my question but here is what I want to know. Occasionally, usually when docking, or putting my anchor on the bow of the boat, I have to walk on top of the fiberglass in front of the cockpit and over the cuddy cabin I have. My question is, is this ok to...

    Engine temp at idle

    De-winterized the boat the other day, changed the oil. Took it out to the lake and boat runs like a champ, seems to be running a bit faster than when I stored it in November. Had a quick question about my engine temp while at idle. Boat runs a cool 150-155 while moving, I was at the dock...

    Baffles

    I was "told" (with an emphasis on told) that I had removable baffles on my 89 scarab. Aside from being loud is there a benefit/downside from removing these? Performance wise will it do anything?

    Question about some smoke.

    I have a 89 scarab with a 350 mag. It smokes sometimes when I punch it or sometimes at idle. I say smoke, I mean there is some white smoke out the exhausts. Is this normal? Other than the smoke the boat runs great, and by great I mean it will push 60 on gps all day long. Is a smoke like...

    Outboard pulling a skier

    Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section or is a repost, I searched but couldn't find what I was looking for. I know there are options on outboards to attach a ski pole through the back baseplate for a seat. I have a 17 ft. 84 astroglass with an evinrude 150. I really don't like the pole...
