  3. 8v53 staring issue

    Having problem starting starboard engine..replaced battery...checked wires..current good. Starts when using parallel selector, but without, the starter makes a clunk sound and won't turn. Is it possible it is the solenoid, as the starter works with parallel select.

  7. Krush was right

    Several years ago when Krush was looking for a boat and talking about how the prices were dropping I laughed. Turns out he was right. Looking at the 53 just listed says a lot about how the past time has changed. Marinas here that were booked 30 years ago are lucky to be half full. How times are...
