    I think the insurance only covered them if my boat damaged something , very basic for their protection - if I remember right.

    Orkney boats

    Last time I checked hauling my Bayliner 185 Sport to Italy, I was quoted approx. $3500 from the Port of Savannah to Venice, Italy - one way - can't remember what Port they said for delivery. It was before the COVID , but did they say with it on a trailer and it would be tied down on deck on...

    Orkney boats

    Judge Yachts are very nice - a little out of my price range. The Chesapeake 36 outboard (my favorite) comes with a basic price of $435000 according to their web site. I'd opt to 700HP with twin 350 Suzuki's - out doing my current center console with a DF70 on on it.

    Flywheel not engaging?? Mercruiser

    I didn't mean pull on the crank bolt until it snaps off or strips the threads - "feel for it" pull a little then back off - pull a little more then back again - not full force in one direction all at once - :)

    Flywheel not engaging?? Mercruiser

    Looks like a Mercruiser 3.0 , we had one and replaced a bad starter with an automotive starter, the automotive starter would only freewheel like yours sounds, we had to go back an get a marine starter for it, both starters looked almost identical. If its for sure seized, you could spray some...
