    MEFI-1 and MEFI-2 interchanable?

    I have a 1996 7.4 Magnum MPI in my Cobalt. Whipple offers a reflash for MEFI-1 that claims 25hp on a stock engine. I don't want to send them my original ECU, so I'm looking for a cheap MEFI unit to send them as a core (they don't have any). I've found a few used ones at $500-600, but found a...

    Am I the only one considering back to back vs pedistal seats?

    The captains chairs in my '84 Webbcraft Riviera 21' are shot, and I want to convert to back to back seats to add seating for a couple more friends. I'm only finding 10" base seats that are too low, and searching around everyone seems to want to go the other way from B2B to pedestal. Why does...

    Boat in question is an '84 Webbcraft (in my sig). The windshield has pop out windows, but when I got the boat they were removed.

    Smart tabs and wakeboarding?

    I have a 21' Webbcraft that we use for wakeboarding mostly. Being an old heavy boat it throws a really nice wake as it sits, but to get that nice wake shape I need to move a couple people to the bow. This makes quick stops when the rider goes down difficult and has resulted in water coming in...

    What am i doing wrong on cut in?

    Both on my kneeboard and my wakeboard I cut away from the boat, then cut a progressive edge back in to jump the wake. Problem is at the point where im transitioning from cutting out to cutting in I get a slack rope and drift back towards the boat, losing a lot of speed. Couple things that may...

    Exterior hull delamination, easy fix?

    The hull had a small damage spot that was poorly repaired by the previous owner which is where the delamination started. I guess I hit a crosswake too hard and it popped a decent section of gelcoat off the hull. What is the best way to fix this? It's bone dry under the gelcoat and it didn't leak...

    Lower unit oil won't come out top vent?

    so I was winterizing my 84 Johnson 150hp, and I drained the gear oil (black as night). When I tried to refill it no fluid would come out the top vent plug, but the fluid flow would stop as if it was full? I didn't want to force it, but shouldn't the fluid come out fairly easy?
