    I have a 2006 loadmaster tandem axle trailer that is making a loud noise and vibrates when brakes are applied. The trailer brakes worked last fall when I towed the boat a short distance, however, the first time out this year they vibrate something fierce and make a horrific noise. One...

    Replacement cover for 95 omc cobra upper drive?

    Anyone know where I can get the housing cover on the upper drive that attaches with 3 bolts and covers the shift linkage. Buddy of mine got cute on a seadoo and knocked mine off into the lake. I still have the 3 bolts though :)

    Decking material and layout?

    Does anyone know any good ideas to get a template for the decking. I bought some 1/2 foam board that I could cut easily, move around easily, and be less costly if I mess up. For the decking I was planning to put back 1/2 sanded pine that has the outdoor glue. I did think about bumping up to 5/8...

    Is this drive a true OMC or does it share the same parts as a volvo SX?

    Attached are some pictures from what I believe is a 1995 Cobra drive on a 1995 5.8L. I understand that OMC is no longer in business and parts can be a little difficult to find. Should I cut loose of this boat and look for something else or is it just a little more difficult to find parts. I...

    I have a clogged speedo tube...I have read that I need to blow it out towards the gear case with air and that I should clean the hole with a 1/16 drill bit. It has not worked thus far and it has been clogged since I have owned the boat (8 years) but I want to get it working. What can I do...

    92 ProV 150 idles fine intermittently won't plane out

    Hello, I have a 91 Champion with a 92 Yamaha ProV 150 and the motor always starts and idles fine. However, there are times when I go to take off and it won't come out of the hole and just boggs (feels like it is trying to go but motor shakes and acts like it is missing real bad). I can...
