    The right color?

    So the plan is to paint a 4" stripe on the lower part of the flybridge. The gelcoat is worn completely out and it makes the boat look tired. I haven't been able to find a pain that is the correct color...a burgundy of sorts. I see lots of black, white, red, and blue. Where can I get paint...

    Pressure washers?

    Something I noticed last season. The "walkaround' deck on our boat is really narrow on the sides under the flybridge. Cleaning the side of the boat that is against the dock is no problem however, the opposite side is a PITA. Since the area to stand is so limited it's almost impossible to get...

    Synchronizer gauge causing port engine to miss?

    Had this over in the electric section but I got no response. Been having trouble with the port engine "stumbling" after it warms up. Service department called this morning and said they disconnected the synchronizer gauge and the motors run good. Seems odd that the gauge could cause that kind...

    Replacing bulbs on my breaker panel

    Many of them don't light anymore. While I'm sure there is a standard bulb how difficult is it to replace them?

    Full shift and throttle cable replacement?

    We're giving the marina service department a pretty good workout so far this spring. We started the year with the same problem we finished last year; stbd engine dies when maneuvering at idle. We added oil and water mixing this spring. Here's what has been done so far. Tune ups on both...

    1989 5.7L water in #6 cylinder

    Marina currently has the top off the stbd motor. It's my contention that there was an error on the winterization last fall. The motor wasn't mixing oil and gas then although it was running poorly. When I asked for an update from the service department I get this response...Engine has been...

    My stbd engine's block is probably cracked...:/

    Slinging a nice chocolate shake, no power, the usual symptoms. My question is one for the service professionals. I'm confident this problem didn't exist last fall when I gave her to the marina to winterize and store. I've always had a theory that I would have the pros do the winterization so I...

    I woke up this morning and thought we were sinking!

    Crazy morning at the Erie Islands. Wind, waves, and rain started in the middle of the night. When I woke up this morning we were listing heavily to starboard. Wind was blowing 30-40 knots and it was raining hard. I was shocked to see the water level in the harbor had risen ~18 inches. My...

    Anxious about "stern in" marina

    We switched marinas this season. Everyone has their boats stern in. I've never done that. Anyone got any good tips for a rookie backwards driver?

    No drain plug

    The boat in my sigline has no drain plug. Since the rear deck is open to the elements and the engine covers are part of the deck heavy rainfall overflows the drains and ends up in the bilge. Not a problem...bilge pump removes most of it. But there is always some water remaining. Now she is...

    Touching up bottom paint

    I'm assuming it's best to use the same paint but I don't know what is on there already. Any way to tell?

    Sad day

    Today was the annual "say goodbye to summer fun" day here on Lake Erie. Been having problems with my starboard engine not wanting to idle...today was the same thing. So, along with it being 50 degrees and winds gusting we had to limp on one engine out of East Harbor up the coast to West Harbor...

    Shift Interupt 5.7L Alpha

    My starboard engine keeps dieing around the docks as I shift from F to R. I think it might have something to do with the interupter? How do I check?

    Dehumidifier?

    My boat is locked up tight all week and very humid when we arrive for the weekend. I don't want to leave the A/C running when I'm not there. Anyone using a dehumidifier?
