    2013 Bayliner 185

    The Bayliner isn't terribly different from my boat. Mine I inherited from my folks when they didn't want to run it any longer. So, the reason I have a Bayliner is it was free. BUT, that said - my Capri has been a good boat. It's efficient and runs quick enough for anything that I do. The ride...

    Navionics

    I'm a Garmin fan, but for the products I use most ... I don't pay for them. So, there's that. It's unfortunate that Navionics is going that direction. It was a good platform that was very reasonable. But I haven't used them for navigation in a while. I've been using the native maps in my...

    Boat Value Question

    I have to admit here in Tennessee: a 25 year old boat with a blown motor is a freebie. The trailer you can sell, and the stern drive could be sold on it's own. But all together, it's worth a couple hundred bucks to someone at the most. Sorry: I know that's hard.

    I should add that I think the shifter in your image is mechanical shift.

    76 OMC 175 starting

    It's not you, pictures are broke on the forum right now. If you look on the engine block, can you find an ID number? It should be something like 990229A11. That doesn't look like the remote I'm used to seeing on an electric shift. Does your stern drive look like this?

    76 OMC 175 starting

    Does your remote look like this: That's what I had with the electric shift. In which case, the start sequence for me, I would push the throttle forward and return it to neutral once or twice before starting. Then, the red lever on the back of the remote gets switched up (that's effectively...

    Need help

    Latch on to the north end of the island with a good hook. Full steam ahead for 25 feet or so ... then let the clutch out on the reactor.

    @Scott Danforth I musta' been really under a rock this past week - didn't even realize you guys just got run over by a storm. Was it hurricane status when it came ashore?

    F hole on that is just for decoration, right? I love the sound of a telecaster - play a fat strat type most of the time, myself.

    1975 225 OMC

    In a tank/barrel the Stringer won't draw water. The bulk of the drive has to be submerged, and then the impeller will move the water for you. The fitting in your photo with the hose is to run water into the system when you're on the hard. Barrel won't work. Mine used to look like a water...

    Please help identify this old sailboat

    Do some looking at sailboats offered by Montgomery Ward and Sears. But you can also chase down some of the Snark boats. They were in that vein, but I don't know that the hull style fits them. Coming through the 60s and 70s there were a BUNCH of manufactures making trailer boats - most of them...

    Anyone own a Helix 5 GPS Chirp3 Head. I have a question.

    That center one is a COM port: it's a way to hook up to certain GPS antennas and/or a computer to do updates and transfer data (you can also do this by using a SIM card). It's optional to use - so the cable doesn't come with it.

    GMAIL issue !

    Typically your ISP provides email addresses for you as a part of your service (mine gives us 10 accounts). Do you know if you have those through your provider?
