The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
One of my friends works at the local salvage yard. He called me about an Excaliber aluminium I frame trailer (for a 23')they have there. I went and looked at it and they poked a hole the the frame with a forklift. The hole is 1' behind the hitch. I was wondering what the thoughts were on the...
Last night just before 11:00pm in Adams county PA a wildlife conservation officer was shot and killed in the line of duty. They haven't released the officers name or exactaly what he was doing at the time of the shooting. The only thing they are saying as of now is what truck they are looking...
I just got done rewiring a utility trailer lights with a 20' wiring harness. The kind that has a constant wire going to both lights and a yellow for left turn and green for right turn. I ran the wires to the lights and put the ground on a bolt on the frame. The frame rail was sanded down before...
Does anybody have a HUMMINBIRD 798c SI COMBO? i was looking at getting one for next year and wanted any info at all. If you have any side imaging model of any manufacture your input would be great on the usefullness of it.
Went to local Home depot this am and saw this motorcycle in the parking lot. Speedo went up to 275. shifter is on the floor between you legs. Some not to good pics. It's a 502 with 8200cc. looks like three people could sit on the bench seat on this thing.
I bought my first inboard boat it is a 1988 marathon with a 470 in it. i bought the boat with old gas in it and didn't see it started (for the price it was as is). I changed the gas. When i go to start it I pump the throttle and no gas comes out thru the jets in the carb. So my neighbor who is...
A newbie question. My boat is an 1988 so i guess it's an alpha 1 outdrive(can't read any numbers on it). I was wondering if my impeller and water pump were bad if any water would get up to the heat exchager and out exhaust? End of last year (boat new to me) i ran it on muffs and water came...
I got this boat last year but have not had it on the water and only ran it for 1-2 minutes on muffs last year. I was going to do a compression test to check for a head gasket leak as i saw a little white smoke in the exhaust. Decided before i did test to check out cooling system (manifold...
I am going to buy a fish finder/gps and a vhf radio for my boat. I was wondering if I have to hook them up directly to the battery or if can I hook them into the 2 empty spaces on this fuse board? It has an inline fuse on the power supply wire which is hooked directly to the battery.
My marathon has a "fish box" the whole width of the boat above the motor and almost all of the insulation is worn off on the outside. I was wondering what kind of spray on insulation would work the best and be able to handle to heat? Also what exaclty would this box be good for is 6' long 10"...
I have an 01 Expedition and a 2000 Durango and was wondering about the smaller wheelbase of the Durango for towing my boat. I have a 21.5' (loa is 24') Marathon boat that sits on an aluminum i beam trailer. Both have a tow capacity thats over the total weight of the boat and trailer. How does...
Hello, I have read alot of posts about bottom paint and gelcoats, but I am new to this and confused. The bottom of my boat had chips off something coming off. The chips are about 1/16th of an inch thick. I lightly scrapped off around them until the flaking stopped. Underneath there is a...
