    Stingray 208 water in the engine room

    Umm not what I was asking. I see from your other posts that we're discussing a 2014 correct? So roughly 8 yr old boat? Are you the original owner - I'm wondering if there's a warranty possibility?

    1994 crestliner pro am fixer upper parts

    Probably manufactured by Taco Marine: https://tacomarine.com/ It's not going to be a "Crestliner" part as they simply installed what they bought from Taco or other 3rd party suppliers.

    Anti-Rattle solutions

    Curious if anyone has used either an anti-rattle locking hitch pin OR the U-bolts they tout for taking up the slack in the drawbar to hitch connection? If so, any experience/preference? Problem is the drawbar is loose in the Durango hitch and you do hear it on bumps. The factory hitch isn't...

    Automotive Ground Straps

    https://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchResultsPageCmd?q=ground+strap&storeId=10001&catalogId=10002&langId=-1 These work, I have them in my 78 Trans Am when I re-wired it. They're also more flexible than 2-4 gauge battery cable as mentioned above.

    3500# axle cap and water incursion

    That plug's only job is to keep debris off the grease nipple. Has no impact on the water intrusion into the bearings. You're going to get some water intrusion over a number of dunkings no matter what you use. I do and I have bearing buddies on my current and previous trailers. I have them...

    Resto info 1976 Fiberform bowrider Johnson 85 power tilt

    The water pump impeller is specific to the motor. You need year, and HP, (possibly model / s/n) to order correct part. More than likely iBoats has it so use your forum discount to order. You'll also want the shop manual for the motor to review the process to remove & install the impeller.

    Stingray 208 water in the engine room

    Could be any number of things from rotten mount to waterloggeed foam, to a hull breach to??? Is this boat currently in a slip? If so, given that you're having water issues, I'd be pulling it out for inspection/repair. What year Stingray are we talking about??

    Stingray 208 water in the engine room

    Depending on the intensity of the rain storm, how water tight your cover is, etc, it's entirely possible to get a few gallons of water in. I had to pull out my FourWinns during a severe storm where I lost sight of the boat and the dock due to the intensity. The birds had happily filled my...

    Stingray 208 water in the engine room

    If you're having issues with the battery discharging.... 1. Find the problem and fix it. 2. Install an onboard battery charger and keep it connected to shore power when you're not at the boat. Having an inoperable bilge pump while slipped is just asking for trouble.

    Resto info 1976 Fiberform bowrider Johnson 85 power tilt

    Before launching to see if it floats....fill those holes on the left side of the transom with some 4200 or equivalent sealent. Not sillycone! Might have been from some sort of ladder given the spacing. Letting water in through those holes is generally not a wise move.

    Advice on a 4 winns restoration

    PT, the last time I bought it, was soaking wet. No way resin is sticking to it let alone drying out in a week's time. Literally the PT solution was dripping out of it.

    Advice on a 4 winns restoration

    Lots of rebuilds are done with ACX exterior grade plywood. Stringers, transom, floors, etc. That's generally dry as a bone where I get mine.

    Buying a 210s limited

    If you were to go to a boat show and compare the Tahoe fit/finish to other boats there you'd find they're towards the bottom of the heap. Anything you generally can find at a big box sporting goods store (Tahoe, Suntracker, etc) is going to be bottom of the heap so to speak. I'd consider them...

    Does anyone have experience with “Race only” push to start system install,

    Hey those stickers are good for easily 10HP :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Bought a rotted boat

    I wouldn't trust it knowing the structural components are suspect - calm lake or not. One good wake could be all it needs to get the boat to say adios amigos. The stringers under your floor probably gave up the ghost long before the transom did. There are plenty of people here that, just like...

    Does anyone have experience with “Race only” push to start system install,

    I get the "cool" factor and all but boats have had ignition switches forever. Why are we looking to reinvent the wheel so to speak? Is there a problem you're trying to fix?? **I agree that panel looks incredibly cheap and I'd be very leery of the price its being sold at. Probably cheapest parts...

    Causes for concern?

    That chip under the drain plug could be from the boat hitting something - rock pile maybe?? Gelcoat repair kit probably fixes that BUT I'd be crawling underneath to make sure there aren't any other issues. Bellows is a MUST replace....unless you planned on buying a submarine.

    BRP reveals a new style of outboard, Rotax powered, horizontal crankshaft....

    I could see it in another market....repowering I/O's. Ditch that archaic stringer drive with Ford ahead of it for a new compact motor and gain all that engine bay space for whatever. IF, and it's a mighty big IF, it can stay around. Johnson/Evinrude/BRP has a nasty habit of disappearing. That's...

    Water in my bilge

    Static....sitting anchored on your trailer, not running. On my FourWinns, the bellows were loose and only leaked water when running. Pretty much what you described.....ran it for a few hours and upon retrieval the bilge pump would kick in and give a hell of a shower as I pulled the boat up the...
