Well guys, I watched my beautiful boat drive away behind someone else's truck. Yep, it sold. I am very thankful it sold, but still sad it had to go.
As far as my crappy ad, it sold before I changed it. It was all God. I am thankful also that I have 4 months before my layoff to figure out what I...

I have been told my rough idle problems may be due to a water seperator that needs to be replaced. Well after looking for 30 minutes and then searching the web it seams I don't have one.
I have a few questions that ya'll might be able to help me with.
1. Is it comon for boat builders to not...
I have it pluged into the fuse panel on an empty spot but it stays on all the time. I want it off unless I turn the key on like my radio. My radio fuse is right next to the blank that I plugged the depth finder in. why is one on and the other off when the key is off??
How do I hook this thing up...
My city does a firework show every year off a bridge that is a mile from our boat ramp. I would like to go out ,anchor up and watch it from my stingray 185 with my wife and 2 kids. How do you navigate at night? Do you just use a spotlight or install some kind of head lights to the bow? What are...
The previous owner showed me how to flush the engine by hooking a hose up to the blue drain line coming off the block. The manual says to use muffs. I have done it both ways and when I use the muffs water is only coming out of 1 exaust port. Is this right? Should I do it the other way, or keep...

As the title says, I think I found the perfect boat for me but I am not sure about it due to the holes in the drywall behind the prop I saw. It is not a huge hole it is a few little ones. It looks like every time they brought the thing home they hit the wall with it. Does this cause major damage...
