    Tarps

    The darker the color in the sun the quicker it will wear.I run a line,/ rope,/cord thru all of my grommets on each side and do the tie downs on the line/rope/cord which puts less stress on the grommets making them last longer.You can also put the silver side out which for some reason nobody...

    2 flat & wavy washers along with plastic washer not under impeller cover ?

    The items missing will affect your water pump performance only.Get a manual and read how to be certain your lower is in neutral.You should be able to drop lower far enough without removing it to move shift shaft to where you can move prop until you achieve neutral.Clymer manual spells it out in...

    Ocean side has many beaches with mooring balls out quite a bit further than you are thinking.Lots of coral down there which could easily make your anchor a permanent resident of the ocean floor. Charlie

    Old Cobia?

    Looks like it could possibly be an oooooold Garvey which were used mostly for clamming and crabbing."Gutters" were possibly to get the crap back overboard instead of in the boat.Charlie

    200 hp Saltwaterseries lift motor engaging on its own.

    2000 200hp saltwater series OX66 .I have noticed a few times that my motor seemed to be trimmed up further than I had lifted it.Just thought I may have tapped the button by accident.Same happened a few more times and then without the motor running I heard the trim motor engage all by itself for...

    What oil should I use?

    WRONG!!! WRONG!!! DONT DO IT!! Switching from a conventional oil to a synthetic in an older motor will result in oil leaks.Everywhere that your engine seals have benefitted from the additives in conventional oil to keep your seals plumped up will result in an oil leak.Synthetic oil does not...

    Changed Gear Oil, Does this look right?

    Based on the aeration of the old lube I am assuming that you ran the boat just prior to changing the lube.That would be normal.I always remove the lower fill plug 1st and slowly remove the vent plug shortly after paying special attention to what immediately comes out of the lower fill plug.Water...

    1st Boat

    Personally I like the Hydrasports hull much better than the trophy.Some of the Hydrasports hulls are made of kevlar. However the motor on the trophy is far more valuable than the one on the Hydrasports.Charlie

    winterizing question

    Drain the manifolds and risers prior to draining the block.After draining the block fill risers and manifolds with AF and fill block with AF.This is more difficult, time consuming and more expensive than just draining but it is the best possible care you can provide to your engine.Charlie

    Yamaha 2-stroke 4hp overheat problem

    Start with what you may already have on hand like vinegar or CLR. Dont use the dollar store products as they are all watered down with the exception of Simply Awesome cleaner which works great.Charlie
