Thanks Mike
It looks exactly like that.
I guess patience is a virtue I wasn't exactly blessed with.
Thanks again
John

I did not see the other post. I have a 96 composite comp and my pylon is snugged down very tight.
It definitely does NOT vibrate and never has. I can pick up some hull vibration at speed with very...

I need to replace the steering cable on my 96 Comp and decided to do a chores list while I have the gas tank out. New blower hoses, install a second bilge pump near the transom etc. I also want to...

This boat is used as a jack of all trades cottage boat. Skiers might be intermediate, boarders’ novice. The bulk of the towing is tubes. Lots of tubes. And for me going for a rip around the lakes.

OK. I feel better. That means I can wait until spring to take a look. My boat is all put away and a 3 hour drive from my house. I guess sealing the rub rails needs to go on my to do list for the...

Could you see what was in there? Filled with foam or just an empty void? A gallon of frozen water can exert a lot of pressure. I would sure think it is supposed to be sealed water tight.

Has anyone tried these stainless steel propellers from Australia?
Traditionally inboards have used bronze or bronze alloys like Nibral because they are very soft and the prop will generally...

Hi Fox
I went back and looked through the pictures of rickr's 1986 Ts6m Stringer and Floor replacement project.

I have never had my foot tray out although I couldn't help but notice the poor design of drain. Not a major concern unless I swamp it. The water coming in at the gunwhale seams is another story. I...

So the hole is vertical through the bottom of the bilge area? And the water is rising through it from the keel area below? It would have to be pressurized by some kind of reservoir of water elsewhere...

Hi Fox
What are we looking at? I don't get the picture.
My bilge pump is under the access hatch in the floor ahead of the hull drain. It is actually lower than the hull drain and always has some...

I guess it depends on where you live and what kind of winter you happen to have that year. My boat sits under a carport at the cottage near Parry Sound, Ontario. Protected from the snow (sort of) but...

One of the bi-products of combustion is acid; as in acid rain. And broken down oil does not bond as well to metal to protect it from condensation over the winter; when temperatures tend to fluctuate...

I was able to get a slim Johnson bar in enough to crack the seal and then vise grips on the knurled part of the plug to get it the rest of the way out. When I put them back in I just snugged them....

No. It is not on the opposite side. It is on the same side. The intake hose just goes from the pickup under the transmission and then loops around and over the transmission and back down to the...

Both boats are plumbed exactly the same. There must be a reason for it. I pull the hose from the transmission cooler and then use a short length of 1" clear plastic hose to feed the antifreeze in. I...

Just in case anyone is thinking about the Prestolite on Ebay. Note that the 351 mentioned is a Cleveland Big Block. It also states no way it fits a 302. As the marine 351's are small blocks. They are...

I have the same boat. Almost the same hours as well. Different graphics and colour and the plate the ECM is mounted on looks different as well; the rest should be the same.
I haven't pulled any...

I have a 96 Comp with the rounded windshield. Looks like the one in the picture. The bottom rail rests in molded groove in the fiberglass deck. No way you swap it for the old style straight ones. I...

I expect the FAE system is really quiet; it puts the exhaust down in I/O territory. An I/O would be like a 3 out of 10 and the Rex a 6 or 7. Still sounds like an inboard ski boat, just not as loud....

I finally got to try out the new silencers today.
What a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can now listen to the stereo or have a conversation.
It is still loud by comparison to an I/O or whatever,...

Well; I have my new Teak swim platform installed. Sort of.
It is the same width as the original and almost 4" deeper in the middle but without the grab rail it looks a little small.
I am thinking...

Which tower did you decide on?
I was hot on the Krypt Pro Swoop. I like the swoop back to a single bar. I figured I could have it welded solid and powdercoated black and it would be as stiff as a...

I bought them from Rex Marine
http://shopping.rexmar.com/
Their website is a little confusing and there was like zero feedback when I placed the order. However I ordered some stuff from SKIDIM the...

I was trying to change the fuel filter on my 1996 PCM Pro-Boss GT40 EFI today. I drained the canister and then tried to remove it with an oil filter wrench. The wrench bent but the canister didn't...
