I have all the new parts, but I'm curious, about the front part of the coupler, is the piece that latches the rear side of the ball attached to that front piece? I'm planning on disassembling completely and painting it...

    The floor under my front seats are sagging and my ski locker lid sank below the floor surface. I thought the lip was just separating from the underside of the floor, but its not, the whole bottom layer of the floor plywood is separating and coming down into the ski locker.

    1985 Cheyenne Day Cruiser, engine cover lid/hatch fell off, replace wood?

    Picked up my 1985 Cheyenne Day Cruiser last April, had a trouble-free season, aside from losing fuel system prime due to sludge in my right tank. On our last weekend trip out, somehow, one of the cup holders in my engine cover hatch went missing on one of the trips around the lake, and on a...

    Crossing passing boat wake/staying on plane on choppy/rough waters, will this boat-?

    Hey guys, I'll be blunt, I'm a total noob when it comes to boating. When I was a kid I piloted my fathers Bayliner Arriva (Force outboard), and then once I was 13 he let me drive his flat bottom (426 Wedge :joyous: ) and his 72 Kona (454 and Berkeley), but that was only 2 seasons on the water...

    Advice on boat purchase for use on the Colorado River and chop issues

    I go to Laughlin and Havasu every year, usually on a 20-22 foot I/O day cruiser, but this past August was my first time towing and launching my own boat, a borrowed Maxum 1800sr with a 4.3/Alpha combo. For the most part, it was an easy trip, but going up the river from Havasu back to Needles...
