I am going to buy a big boat a Hatteras maybe but I saw some body say two stroke motors are old and schools don't teach how to work on them now. I hope this is where to ask this question. Thanks, Leon

I picked a cell antenna this past weekend and wanted feedback on the boosters that go with them. I have heard they will boost anywhere fron 20-50 miles offshore. Who has them and what do you think? Also, did you hook direct to the phone or did you go to a remote telephone?

Reading up on Shaft Spurs: http://www.spursmarine.com/index.html Has anyone installed, I see for some applications you need a "spacer" on the transmission? I remember cruising and having problems with a line in the water, having to throw down the hook and do some diving... Any thoughts? ...

I promised that I would post the results of our VC-17 trial in salt water. Our 36C, "Unity", has been in the water a full year. 6 months of that was in the Great Lakes and the last 6 months have been in salt water. The boat now lives in Miami. We pulled it Friday and were very surprised how nice...

Does anyone know where I should look to get my head working again? When the button is pushed the solenoid clicks but that is all. If I put 12 volt power direct to the motor it runs . If I jump the contacts on the back of the pushbutton switch the solenoid just clicks also. I've tried a new solenoid...

Does anyone know of a simpler way of testing the tachs on the bridge of my 41c? The tachs at the lower helm work but the ones on the bridge do not.I was thinking of switching one to see if the tach is the problem but then I thought that it could also be the cable. The boat is a 66 41c with 8V53's...

We have 6-71Ti on the 36', and stil have not solved the warming above 2000rpms (sounds like a reoccuring problem down south). What are the clear hoses that come off the fuel cooler and intercooler, that carry saltwater away from the engine to the shaft logs for. I cant figure for the life of me,...

Short and sweet-----Have a 43DC 1971 model and am looking to replace the side panels around the bridge area. Original? material looks like a masonite? is getting old and brittle in some areas. I would like to replace it, possibly changing access points and adding wing doors. If I go with original...

I have studied the previous posts on this subject but can't find anything about a steering system with no reservoir.The owners manual for my 41TC show the reservoir in the diagram...but..there isn't any..so how do we bleed the air out? I have tried turning the wheel in each direction with the...

I have no clue what a fair market value for my 454's would be if I sold them. Still heavily thinking about this as you can see in my other threads. They were totally redone and have less than 100hrs on them. All new accessories like starters, alternators, ignition coils, distributors ect and...
