    Mounting bunks on angled cross member

    I've been thinking of replacing my rollers with bunks. 17.5 larson. But as I look at the rollers, I could take them off the brackets, and install bunks on the spots where the rollers were attached. The arms swivel so I think they would offer even support. Maby I'm wrong.....lol

    Larson Composite Transom Leaks?

    No, them were one bayliner, and a chapparal. Most transoms are built with the wood core.

    Stickies on Winterizing 3.0 cobra

    We put a pump on the hose for the muffs, after draining the block/manifolds/coolers. It pushes the anti freeze in instead of depending on the impeller to suck it up. Run till it comes out the exhaust and done. I know, water always comes out the exhaust bypassing the block, We run about 5 gallons...

    Water problem / trim tabs Q

    The water was in the aft bilge, when it was lifted the water ran forward to the cabin area. Bilge pumps don't get all the water out, just most of it. So the water could be from bad bellows, a leak from rainwater or most any place. You will have to search for the culprit. I don't care what type...

    Water problem / trim tabs Q

    You have a leak, either around the hatch, or cleats/stantion bases,or portlites. Those trim tabs look like self adjusting types, spring loaded. Also you want to clean them up.

    Drain the block, and exhaust/intake manifold. If you have power steering be sure to drain the heat exchanger. Before I forget, do you have closed cooling? If so you don't need to drain the block. If you want run non toxic anti freeze through the motor.

    Which wheeled Trailer jack, 8" single or 6" double wheel?

    The single wheel ones are easier to turn the wheel with your foot in gravel, But the double wheel gets you more area to not sink in soft ground. I myself always used the single wheel.

    Which gasket is better for impeller install, metal or fiber?

    I've used those yellow drainplugs. I personally don't like them. Twice I had a issue with water in the lower unit. Not much but enough to be concerned. I switched to the blue gaskets and the problem went away. I always pressure/vacume check the units when changing oil, and both times it was the...

    Which gasket is better for impeller install, metal or fiber?

    now apparently I have committed sacrilege by using aftermarket parts. I wasn't trying to shoot you down, I myself have used aftermarket parts. I learned just as you are about getting oem whenever possible so I don't have to do the job twice.

    Wow, If the floor was soft and layerd over, then got soft again, I'd say the boat is on it's last legs. The stringers and transom are next to fail.

    Trouble with a used bayliner discovery 192

    Are you trimming it while under way? Also check the trim manifold on the bottom of the gimble housing. I've seen them leak at the gasket.
