    Any trick in removing an SSV170 steering wheel?

    Guys, I received a new steering wheel (UFlex - white w/ silver spokes) for my 1994 Glastron SSV170 outboard. The original steering system was replaced by the previous owner with a SeaStar unit. It uses the original Glastron wheel. Before I rip into it, I thought I'd ask for advice. Does the...

    Fuel sending unit location in tank of '94 SSV170?

    Guys, Does anyone know the location of the fuel sending unit in a 1994 SSV170? Tank is 20 gal. capacity. Gauge is not the issue (Yamaha digital). I'd like to replace the fuel sending unit, as I don't have any confidence that it's reporting tank levels accurately. As near as I can tell the...

    Measuring water ski length?

    Guys, May sound like a weird question, but how is the length of a water ski (slalom) typically measured? Is it along the bottom of the ski, accounting for the curve of the ski, or is it along the top of the ski, in a straight line from tail to tip? TIA, Jeff

    Guys, When I winterized my 2000 OX66 150HP (VX150TLRY) I removed the airbox to inject fogging spray into each fuel injector.

    Boarding ladder for 1995 Glastron SSV175

    Guys, I picked up a pampered 1995 SSV175 outboard. I'm not enamored w/the boarding ladder, due to there only being one step. The ladder fastens to the hull on the bottom side. Is anyone aware of a replacement ladder that will retrofit, and provide at least one more step? TIA, Jeff

    Bow "bra" provides towing protection

    Guys, I've recall seeing this, but can't find it at my usual sources of supply. I can best define it as a bow bra. It covers the underside of the bow, so when you're towing any debris thrown up by the rear wheels of the towing vehicle will not damage the underside of the bow. Does anyone...
