    Bone headed move - put the plug in with 3M 4200

    This spring I was in a scramble to get the boat ready by the launch date I had to be at the marina so not thinking I grabbed what I had in the garage to keep the plug in and ended up using 3M 4200 to put in the drain plug. I am now trying to figure out how I am going to remove it. Any ideas...

    Engine oil kit - first time

    I'm glad I posted here. I got down to the boat tonight and I checked it is the 10W30 not the other I had found. Ordered the kit mentioned to me above.

    Engine oil kit - first time

    This is what my engine looks like. It looks very close to the Verados. Maybe I made a mistake? I can find the serial number tomorrow if needed.

    Engine oil kit - first time

    I went looking online to see what I could get that is cheaper. I could not find much. At best I could do is save $5 on everything by driving 2 places and ordering 1 thing online.

    Engine oil kit - first time

    I have a 2019 Mercury 225XL 3.4L V6 that I am prepping to do winterization on. I am trying to find the right stuff to do a winterization and think a kit makes the most sense for the first attempt. I found this kit on Amazon.ca and am trying to ensure it is correct.

    Too much wind and rain in my face

    He ordered a couple parts that he needed that was not in stock and I guess one of them is out of stock at the warehouse. Estimated date of mod Oct for delivery which is past when I am winterized. Planning for spring.

    Too much wind and rain in my face

    Ah yeah need much colder than that to freeze salt water. I would love to boat salt water sometimes. The rivers and lakes get very repetitive

    Too much wind and rain in my face

    You must be a bit further south than I am. Around here most years the river and lakes freeze over by early January

    Too much wind and rain in my face

    A DC is something I might consider for my next boat. I found when I looked that few of them actually had made their way to the Canadian used market but I am seeing more now.

    Too much wind and rain in my face

    Finally got a design nailed down with a local shop. In the fall I am going to be taking it in. He is going to work with my existing front cover adding a zipper, making wings that can either attach to the front cover or smaller panels to go directly to the deck, wings will go 6 inches before the...

    Too much wind and rain in my face

    That would be perfect! I think that is even the same style in general as I have for piping and windshield. Guessing that is more than likely a custom job?

    Too much wind and rain in my face

    I do have a hard top and no pictures of it that show the windshield well. It has a windshield and a metal frame for the hard top.

    Too much wind and rain in my face

    I have a smaller CC (21ft - Blackfin 212CC) which has a tiny windshield. I think If I made it a bit bigger I could go out on more rain or windy days. I'm not sure what I could do to make it a bit bigger to deflect more wind/rain out of my face. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Upgrading the whole electronics package minus chart plotters

    Thanks on the reed switch type sender, I will look that up a bit more but a cursory look says that is it. Currently for fuel tracking all I get is the GPH to 1 decimal place. I unless I am actively looking at it I can't tell. I'd love some way to get that data into a more usable format for...

    Upgrading the whole electronics package minus chart plotters

    I have a 21.5ft center console that I am trying to outfit in a way to allow to be cruise longer distances with less work so I can make fishing a single day trip not a 2. Currently some trips are so long that I am tired by the time I get to fish. I boat/fish in the St Lawerence River and in...

    Lenco trim tabs flashing on right side

    Went down to the marina today and checked voltage. Ended up being voltage and the cause of it was a low battery. Low battery was caused due to how the new charging system I have in is configured/made. I have to remember to configure a setting on it each time I put the boat away OR let the engine...

    Lenco trim tabs flashing on right side

    Interesting, I am guessing it will be low voltage on from the break panel out rather than the battery if everything else is working right?
