    I too require subjective advice on mounting a kicker to my boat.

    Hi again. So I have a Maxum 2300 SC and I’d really like to have some back-up propulsion and perhaps even the trolling option to this boat. But with it’s integrated swim platform, I’m concerned. Others here have been too I see and not all seem to have been resolved. I thought any issues I may...

    Learning the Ins and the Outs of an I/O

    Preamble: 2002 Maxum 2300 SC w/ Merc 305 Alpha I Gen II with less than 300 hrs. It's also equipped with that heat transfer thingy for salt water. Hi, Fellas! So here is my situation. Last year was my first season with the boat above (2nd owner). It has low hours and I also had the dealer in...

    Not done with you yet. A couple more bimini questions.

    Starting a new thread that is kinda an extension of the last. I have a 2003 Maxum 2300/2400 SC I took the dimensions of the boat last night and I also compared it to the tops for some of the pre-measured tops for boats of a different year (but that I think are the same design). When I was...

    The squeaky engine gets the...

    Hi, everyone. I have a 2002 5.0L on a Maxum with 190 hrs on it. I've only had the boat out three times since purchasing it, totalling about 18 hrs. The second and third trips, there was a squeaky noise that began at idle slowly after starting. It was not a steady sound but a quick repeating...

    Bimini top adaptability and ACCY toggle switch functionality on a Maxum 2300/2400 SC

    Hi, everyone. Finally got to take my new craft on a decent tour. I'm really impressed with the ride and handling. I've outfitted the boat with Piranha composite props if anyone is interested on a review. I have a couple of issues I need help with. I have three full canvas options with my boat...

    Piranha vs Solas and composites vs aluminum. what factors to consider?

    I posted this within a different thread previously and am reposting in hopes it gets addressed: I recently purchased a Maxum 2400 SC with a 5.0L Mercruiser. I have only had the boat out once for an hour. The dealer who sold it to me said he was a little disappointed with the hole shot and...

    Quick answer on iBoat props required. Long winded answers welcome as well.

    Hi, all. I have a quick question regarding the propellers here on iBoats: The Solas and TP props that require a hub adapter, are those hubs supplied? It would appear that they are included in the price but that is what I find difficult to understand. Most other suppliers tell you it's a separate...

    Mercruiser 5.0L salt water coolant level info required.

    Re: Mercruiser 5.0L salt water coolant level info required. These are the pics you requested. I must say, I'm a little more concerned than I was yesterday. I've received 3 different replies to the same question: one saying it should be full of coolant, another stating it needs to be only half...

    Mercruiser 5.0L salt water coolant level info required.

    I recently purchased a Maxum 2400 SC with a 5.0 L Mercruiser and Alpha 1 Gen II. The boat didn't come with a user's manual (although I did buy a shop manual which doesn't address this specific issue). I have not run the engine yet (it only has 107 hrs and was tested at dealers). The system is...

    I recently purchased a 2300 SC used from a dealer; it didn't come with an owner's manual. I have made a half a dozen calls an searched on the internet in vain. Does anyone have a suggestion?

    What is this? Windshield hardware.

    I recently purchased a 2002 Maxum 2300 SC. The walk through windshield rests on another part of the static windshield when it is opened. I am assuming this is because a piece hardware is missing. See picture. What is this and where can I find a replacement part? Thanks in advance.

    Wow-been a long time but I am back and looking for a new boat.

    Hi, everyone! I can't recall the last time I logged in here but I do recall how often I used to and how valuable a site this is. I used to live in S. Ont and have logged many hours on the great lakes with my 17' Sylvan and 90 Honda. I still own that boat, but after living three years close to...

    Fish Finder/Chartplotter Advice

    Technology is great but sometimes overwhelming. I used to pride myself on thoroughly researching something before buying and always feeling like I made an informed choice. I don't know if it's because I am getting too old or if these gadgets are just becoming too complicated, but I just don't...

    Vancouver and V. Island trip planned - advice sought.

    Hi, everyone! I've visited the area many a times and always wanted to take my boat there. Well, this month I will be. I only have a 17' DC with a 90hp, but I use it like a mobile tent and I am quite experienced in rough water (I'm a Fishery Officer). I know I am pushing the limit of open water...

    Steering cables, rack cables? I need help with this.

    I have a 2000 Sylvan aluminum with a 90hp Honda. Two years ago, I noticed the steering wheel seemed quite hard to turn at times. I annually grease all the nipples on the motor etc. Guy at a shop told me it's normal and that they would probably need replacing soon. I did an extra good job...

    Left but no right. Wait! Right but no left?!

    It's kinda hard to do a search for this type of issue so sorry if it's been covered previously. A few days ago - only hours after looking at my Minn Kota and thinking "Nine years and it's never given me a problem...", it gives me a problem. So, it's a 50 lb bow mount MK with and electrical...

    Stiff steering on HOnda 75/90.

    Hi All!! This is a hard one to do a search on and even my shop manual doesn?t cover it and I don?t want to proceed to take anything apart without at least a diagram. My Honda 90hp has been slowly been getting harder to steer ? nothing to do with the trim. Just out of the water, there is a lot of...

    Attn: Honda mechanic or 75/90hp owners - impellor worries

    Hi again. How's the boating season so far? I haven't gotten wet yet - was hoping to very soon. <br />I need advice with a recently changed water impellor - my first attemp. It was fairly straight forward and I followed the shop manual to the letter. I replaced all flat gaskets and O ring. Did...

    changing impellor on HOnda 90

    I've done plenty of self-maintenance on my old 18 horse 'rude but haven't a clue how to change the impellor on my 90. There aren't any dealers/mechanics in my area so I'm considering doing it myself. Anyone else done this? Instructions, pointers and other maintenance to consider during the job...
