    Glastron tandem axle boat trailer question

    Hi all. I have a Glastron trailer that came with my boat. It's a tandem axle and I need to replace the wheel hubs, bearings, etc. I'm uncertain on the exact replacement parts I need. Is there a website you would recommend to lookup this trailer and get the correct parts? Thank you.

    Exhaust manifold discovery?

    I don’t see any other issues on the block, and the motor runs well. However, I’m thinking this is not safe at all to use and must replace. Am I correct?

    Exhaust manifold discovery?

    Good morning. With all the things I have learned about this boat I purchased, GXL 235 Mercruiser 5.0, I think I just found a serious issue. Hopefully I’m attaching a picture as well. Is this my exhaust manifold cracked?

    Fluids for Glastron GXL 235 question

    Good afternoon. I’m still learning about my boat. There is a fluid reservoir I’m unfamiliar with. I see the oil and drive line lube locations fine. But, as I look into the engine bay, there is a reservoir in the far right that I don’t understand. Anyone know what other fluid I need to keep watch...

    ATV and moving boat around on stone

    How do I express the utility to my wife then? :) In case it matters, it’s only moving the trailered boat on the stone driveway into a garage or out again. Never launching, etc.

    ATV and moving boat around on stone

    Shoot. Not was I was hoping to hear. I’ve really been eyeing the Sportsman. I’m still researching, any idea if the 850 or 1000 would help here? Or am I just being overly ambitious?

    This is the propeller that just got damaged. I’m going to order that same prop but would love to hear thoughts on a better choice. I’m going to order a second one in stainless steel. Any specs or thoughts any of you have are appreciated.

    2008 Glastron GXL propeller recommendation

    I need to buy a new propeller for my GXL. It has the 5.0 Volvo V8. Does anyone have a prop they have purchased for this setup that worked great for you? I use the boat to pleasure drive on a lake or pull my kids on a tube. No water skiing or other sports. Thanks!
