    Brushed Aluminum Dash Panel Replacement

    I'm getting the boat ready for the upcoming season and am going to put some of those Gaffrig trim rings on my gauges to spruce it up a bit (getting new upholstery as well). I pulled off my dash panel to look at how the gauges come out and realized that the panel the gauges are mounted in has...

    Help choosing rotary polisher pads

    I'm going to hit my faded gelcoat with the rubbing/polishing/waxing routine and plan on investing in a nice rotary polisher to do the job (FYI - I've found some decent prices on "factory reconditioned" models of DeWalt, Makita, and Milwaukee that won't totally break the bank).<br /><br />I've...

    Where to start with faded gel coat?

    I have a 1993 24' Baja and the graphics are faded. The original decals on the side were replaced somewhere along the line (before I owned it) and I can see darker colors where the old decals were (the old/new surfaces still feel smooth to the touch, though). I've read a lot of the threads on...

    Losing bearing buddies

    The trailer on my boat required basically a (hydraulic) brake overhaul due to its age, but now the bearing buddies keep flying off the hubs while at highway speeds. Fortunately, they haven't hit another car yet but obviously this is a problem. I've put a couple of sets on, but I keep losing them...

    Batteries dead - running rough after jump start

    (1993 Baja 24' w/502 mag) The batteries (2) were run down to almost a complete discharge level over the holiday weekend. I had to jump it to start it. After gettting it running, it seemed to run very rough with a little black smoke coming from the exhaust (black smoke=ignition problems?). Now...

    Restoring faded color - Gel Coat Labs Products?

    I'm sure this is a common, much debated subject and I've read some of the posts but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the products from Gel Coat Labs. Their website seems pretty helpful in content on technique and they offer a package complete with pads, etc. that appears to be a...

    Rear Seat Hinges

    The rear seat hinges on my '93 Baja 24' Outlaw have recently pulled out of the holes in the bottom of the seat (thanks to the guys putting in my stereo). The current setup is two seperate hinges on the front of the seat so it rotates towards the bow.<br /><br />Effective enough, but my buddy has...

    Warming up rough - Holley carb problems?

    1993 24' Baja Outlaw w/502 mag Bravo I<br /><br />The boat starts fine, but runs rough once the choke starts to close during the warm up. When it's finally warmed up (choke fully closed) it runs and sounds great. It's just that "warming up" phase where it runs rough. I have to goose the throttle...

    Power Steering 101

    The power steering has gone out on my boat ('93 24' Baja Outlaw w/502 mag) and in doing a bit of searching on the net, I've come across a few things that seem to differ from the standard auto system and consequently have me thoroughly confused.<br /><br />My engine has a ps pump that looks very...

    Latest problem: water in cylinder

    This is my first boat (and probably my last at this rate) and have only had it for about three months. 1993 Baja 24' Outlaw with 502 mag - the motor was new two seasons ago and has less than 30 hours on it since then, but that hasn't seemed to matter (so much for the "sweetheart deal"). Btw -...
