Yes I read the adults only section. Those u joints are the internal C-clip and the GKN style are the external clip.
So does anyone have the precsion or other part number for this style of joint?
I searched and there are a couple of threads with GKN style joints in them but nothing about the...
OK I am looking at a newer Crownline and would like to have the chance to run thru hull exhaust but don't want to pay the price for captains call. I can weld and fab just about anything. So I was thinking of making my own Y-pipe and a valve. I don't mind having to turn the valves myself. I...
My wife and I are looking at a 1997 Crownline 202 BR with a 5.7L Alpha I in a couple of weeks. Comes with a trailer with newer tires and surge brakes.
Looks really nice in the pictures, blue interior and exterior with the rear bench and two swivel captains chairs.
A lot of things have been...
Well since everyone west or south has their threads about the great waters they have why not have a thread on Midwest?s lakes.
Post up about where you live and the lakes you frequent and a little about them.
I live 20 miles north of Cincinnati and I go to:
Lake Brookville - Busy on the...
Right now my wife and I are looking for a newer boat. Rinkers have really caught my eye and we are looking for a 20'+ bow rider so the 212 and the 232 and 226 have been made. We have a budget of about $10k and want the newest we can. So hopefully 1998 and up. Possibly not if we find a very...
Well I saw a deal on Craigslist and picked up an older Competition O'Brien ski. It says its 70" and is wood grain on the top but is composite/fiberglass.
Any thoguhts on this thing? I picked it up since its larger than my combos and I am a bigger guy 6'4" 230 lbs.
It doesn't looked liek it...
Well the search begins to please the old lady and myself. I know we want to be able to seat 8-10 adults legally on a bow rider. I have been looking and this seems to be only possible on 21' or so and up boat. We have a 10k ish budget for it. And more than liekly will be purchasing over winter/...
Well took the boat out this weekend to a local lake with a couple thats really good friends of ours. We did some tubing earlier in the day and then hit the shore to let to the dogs use the bathroom. Well I proposed the question, Do you want to try and ski? My buddy said sure let's try it.
Well...
I am heading down there next weekend to stay at a buddies floating house in the Whittman Hollow Marina area. So the problem is we have 4-5 guys and only a pontoon boat down there. Renting a "ski" boat from the marina is a cool $300 a day and thats crazy. So I was wondering how big the waves...
After fixing a leaky line on my PTT I took it out to the river 5 mins away and ran her for a couple of hours and successfully trimmed it out for the first time. Every since I got the boat it hasn't had a strong PTT system, barely lifting and lowering after bleeding.
So now my problem i have...
Well I bought a new fuel filter and install it the other day. I got my impeller installed and I threw the muffs on and tried to get her going. Well I was in the middle of replacing a trim cylinder fitting so the motor was vertical. I cranked forever and only a couple of sputters here and there...
I have an old '74 Mark Twain boat with a '75 115 HP Merc motor on the back and the trim and tilt cylinder has a stripped out connection.
I know the threads on the female end are 1/2-13 straight threads and the hose just has a flare on the end. So basically the clinder housing is aluminium and...
OK so I am going to change the impeller for the first since I have owned my boat and I was wondering if you guys always replace the housing as well as the impeller and wearplates/gaskets?
I see that there are two kits out there, housing and non-housing kits.
I was wondering if any of you guys have ever been up this way. Its an island in lake Huron and is the largest fresh water island in the world.
I never knew all this when I was a kid going there every summer for a couple weeks at a time. My family has some distant relatives up there and my...
Well on my '74 Mark Twain I have a 115 HP Merc and the back end sits quite low in the water. I hate trying to ski with the tow rope in the water and then finally coming out with some slack. So I want to make a ski-pylon over where my engine sits. Basically attach in to the fiberglass splash...
