2006 21v, need to replace drivers seat rails. Anybody have an idea where to find them? '06 was last year of straight no swivel rails. Need to find complete assembly. Have dealer checking on cost and...

Thanks as always for the help. I was guessing I would have to pull back the upholstery to fix it correctly. This always seems to happen. Simple repair turns into much more work. The brackets were...

Call the closest dealer you can find and have them ship you the correct one. I lost mine and tried to find something that would work. The cover I found lasted through one season but blew off at some...

2006 21v. Both sides of the boat rear vdrive lockers. I'm sure a very similar setup to most. There is a gas shock that holds the locker open. The shock is mounted using the standard bracket with ball...

Thanks for the help once again. I was leaning towards keeping the mounts attached to the motor and trans from lifting it on and off the pallet over the winter. Figured I would ask before wrestling it...

In the fall I posted about my oil pan rusting through and dropping all of my engine oil into bildge. Thanks to all for the many helpful tips on pulling the motor. I spent hrs cleaning and prepping...

If I was going to remove to replace them or due to leaking I would have cut them also. If you just need to get the muffler off and out of the way for repairs then WD 40 and a flat head work. I...

I work for a rental company so had access to a gantry crane. Worked very well for pulling the motor. Having it on wheels and being able to just roll the motor back was slick. Using a chain fall with...

Got the motor pulled over the weekend. Thanks to everyone for the advice. This site is awesome. Hopefully I can help someone else with a similar project

The motor mounts were easy. Just unbolted...

You shouldn't have to cut the hoses. If you loosen the hose clamps from the riser and the ones on the hose just under the muffler you should be able to work them free. Yeah they are on there. Almost...

So I started the process of pulling the motor over a couple nights this week. I was surprised to find that there really isn't much to disconnect to get to the point it's ready to pull. Decided to...

Luckily I have access to numerous pieces of equipment to pull the motor with. I'm going to yank it and go through and replace everything that is a normal wear item that is not easily accessible with...

Any suggestions or things to look for when pulling the motor. Have pulled many car motors but no experience with an inboard v-drive. It looks like I can leave the trans and drive mounted and just...

Update:
Thanks for all of the replies and suggestions. Well most of the suggestions. Finally had a chance to get back to the boat and figured out a way to see what was going on under the motor....

Great idea. Never even thought about sticking a camera or my phone under there and taking pics. So simple. I just spent all afternoon and evening cleaning all of the oil out of the bildge. Never want...

I can't tell. Trying to figure that out. It doesn't feel like it at all. Just the drain plug. I can't tell what is what by just feeling under the pan. Tried a mirror but its impossible to get it...

I have had a very slow oil leak from my drain plug/quick drain hose since purchasing boat in April this year. 2006 21v 340hp. Starting noticing a little bit of oil in bildge about 2 months after...

I have an '06 21v also. I was having all kinds of weird issues with bags filling and not filling. Filling on their own with the little black switch in the off position and the pump off. Bags leaking...

Mine does exactly the same thing. It sucks but it usually comes back on or clears up pretty quickly. Doesn't happen all the time. The perfect pass still works though. Can't see the display but it...

It takes about two seconds to unhook the lights before launching. You probably will never have a problem by not unhooking them but why not. The one time you end up with a short and your tow vehicle...

Taking the boat in to have dealer replace the strut. I have mentioned the same thing to them and the shaft will be checked. Very well could have a slight bend. Thanks again for all of the advice.

Thanks for all of the advice. I have been digging into the boat trying to find the source of the noise. Found water in the vdrive. Not the issue causing the noise but glad I caught it after only...

Haven't been back to my storage yet to look at prop more closely and inspect drive shaft underneath the hull. I did check the shaft coming out of the drive while at the lake. No play. Seemed solid...

Thanks for the reply. I checked the underside of the boat when I put it back on the trailer and nothing seemed out of place or loose. Fins where solid and all intakes and paddle wheel where good. It...
