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.
I am trying to figure out how to install the zincs on my Alpha 1 Gen 2 trim cylinders. I have done all the rest. The trim cylinders however do not have any threaded holes to attach the zincs to. There are pockets that line up with the anode mounting holes and the pockets are oversized for the...
I bought a gear lube monitor for my new Alpha One Gen 2 drive and I am in search of a install manual. I cannot find one on the net and am wondering if anyone in iBoat land might have one in a .pdf form. I am particularly interested in the hookup of the sending unit to the engine alarm.
I'm trying to remove my lower unit to service the impeller. I have removed all of the bolts and nuts and the sending unit as the manual says. I can wiggle the unit to see a small gap between the upper and lower unit at the front but I cannot get anything to move in the back. Are there any tips...
Wondering what all is entailed im a 500 hour maitenance. I'm at 470 hours right now and will surely hit 500 by the end of the season, perfect timing, so I will due my annual maitenance this winter and ask is there anything else besides a tune up and water pump replacement on the out drive?
I would like to install a windshield wiper system on my 93 classic cuddy 2252. Has anyone ever done this? If so, what wiper system did you use and how did you mount it? Is there room to mount a hand crank windshield wiper system in the top of the windshield frame?
Unfortunately we will not be able to build a new garage for our 1993 Bayliner Classic Cuddy 2252. I have been searching for a insulated indoor storage facility near where we live in Western Washington. Curently our barn is not insulated and the temps here in winter do get down into the teens at...
I live in the northern puget sound and I winterized my boat this year. It is a 23' Bayliner with a Mercrusier Alpha One powerplant. The engine is internally cooled and has antifreeze. It does get stored indoors when not in use.
This year has been colder than most with a few weeks of sub...
I just got a call from my marine shop who is performing a winterizing on my boat. The 8hp Honda engine is frozen solid and they can't explain it. I last ran the engine in my driveway with a flusher attached in September and everything was fine. The oil pressure light was on indicating good...
I'm going to convert over to disc brakes from drum on my trailer this winter. Which is better and why?
A. Kodiak
B. Tie Down
C. Titan
I'm particularly interested if anyone has had serious issues with replacement parts or manufacturer's service.

I need to replace my winch. I have been shopping and I am seeing a lot of strap winches. I use my 23' Bayliner exclusively in the Puget Sound (saltwater). So, which is better? A strap, which I think will corrode quite quickly. Or a cable, gavinized or not, which in my opinion seems to last quite...
We are strongly considering buying this boat. If anyine has any experience with this boat and would like to remark about their experience I would much appreciate it. The boat is powered by a 4.3l Mercruiser with a Alpha 1 outdrive and the engine is fresh water cooled. Have there been any really...
I just bought a 1975 Ranger Outboard hull and am looking to get specs and possibly a manual on it. If anyone knows where I can obtain more information on this boat it would be much appreciated.
