    Volvo Penta 5.7 Temp Gauge Not Working

    Removed tape yesterday and used Permatex 59235 High Temperature Thread Sealant. Still no reading on gauge. Ran for 20+ minutes and engine was not warm to the touch. Purchased infrared thermometer today and will check actual temp after running for another 20+ min tomorrow.

    Leaving I/O in water all year round?

    Put new zincs, bellows, good drive paint and bottom paint before putting it in. We have a diver clean everything up once a month in the summer and every couple months in the winter and replace zincs as needed. I/Os are not the best for year round slips, but can work fine if you are careful...

    Spar Varnish or Urethane for Deck Rails and Trim?

    Thanks. I am good with a few hours a year, but from what I have heard it would be that much every few months. The door and surrounding trim would be Varnish also.

    Spar Varnish or Urethane for Deck Rails and Trim?

    I think I may just remove the wood from the deck rails. Not sure I am up to all the maintenance it will require. Bayliner did this a few years later. Here are the pics of my year and a 1990. 1986 1990 Mine looks the same under the wood, minus the walkthroughs. I would have to install...

    The wood is not teak and currently has a badly weathered varnish on it.

    Spar Varnish or Urethane for Deck Rails and Trim?

    I am going to refinish the deck rails and trim on my 1989 Bayliner 2560. I think I have decided against teak oil because of how often you must reapply it. I am looking at either Rustoleum Marine Spar Varnish or Spar Urethane. Which would be better for my application? The boat is kept in a...

    How to Remove Several Coats of Bottom Paint?

    Thanks for all the replies. It is looks like $1000 to blast it. I guess I will just bite the bullet.

    How to Remove Several Coats of Bottom Paint?

    Will products like Peel Away or Petit's Bio-Blast leave the gel coat in good enough shape to not need a barrier coat?

    How to Remove Several Coats of Bottom Paint?

    I bought a 1989 Bayliner Trophy 2560 and need to repaint the bottom (in addition to a long list of other things). However, there are what looks like many coats of bottom paint on there from the previous owner. To make matters worse, it looks like he just hosed it off prior to repainting...

    Does This Trailer Look Big Enough For The Boat?

    Here are a few more pics. I would be driving 400 miles each way to pick it up. The trailer is only a year old if that matters. I really like the boat and will be putting it in a slip. Just pulling it out for repairs and maintenance. I just want to make sure a 400 mile trip is safe on this...

    Does This Trailer Look Big Enough For The Boat?

    Thinking about buying this boat. Does the trailer look a little short for the boat? I have never had a boat/trailer combo where the bunks extend out behind the trailer.

    1977 Uniflite 28

    I sold my 29' cruiser and would now like to get something a little better for fishing. I found a 1977 Uniflite 28 that I really like. It has an 11' beam, twin 305 crusaders with about 600 hours on them, and direct drive. Am I crazy for looking at something that old? I would think a 1977 open bow...
