    winter cover on top of morring covers?

    My mooring covers are moldy and falling apart. I'd like to take the winter to repair them and clean them up. I normally put the winter cover on top of the mooring covers for structural support. Any thoughts or advice? Also, if there a service that inexpensively refreshes mooring covers?

    I have a 2000 sea ray sun deck 210. Mercruiser i/o. I had engine work done in June 2016 and I filled it up with gas. When I winterized the boat in the fall, I also stabilized the gas.

    Tanaka 300 not getting fuel

    Rebuilt the carb. The petcock with the bowl is not available so I ran the line straight. I think the fact that the fuel line dips below the level where it connects to the carb might be the issue. Question- on a 2 stroke 3hp outboard will that little carb have the ability to suck the fuel into...
