Be very careful using grease with this type of bearing. The 'oil bath' style bearing relies on circulating oil to remain properly lubricated and cool. There is no spring or coil in these that would...

Great looking boat!! By the way... your contractor used a cheap grade pea gravel with an elevated iron count when he poured your walks and drive. thats why you have all the rust spots. They will...
We always like demonstrations of the latest technology & the flash and glam always impress. I get the feeling that most of the active members of the website are post purchase clients who exchange...
Sorry, thats PCV valve
Not sure about the explosion... I assume since you mentioned hoses and cleaning up 'the mess' you were speaking more of a burst cooling hose. If thats the case aggressivly trace cooling system, if...
I tend to agree with a few back. If your having multiple alarms and multiple system failures or alerts then the suspect should be in ground; relay or power supply. Isolation of ground loops becomes...
That is true, but even with the twist they still rub... found out the hard way. The nylon straps are just too abrasive when battered against the hull.
Any feedback from indmar on the failure? Are you going straight back to OEM that failed last time? Unless your pretty confident that you did have an overheat, sounds like your solution may have...
I do some big time red-neckin... The only problem with the factory towable cover is the nylon straps that batter the hull and leave rub marks. Once on a long tow, I actually used some 1" foam pipe...
BTW... I would research other installers besides your dealer. U-Haul has done a few installs for me and have done a good job. They should have a better selection and would probably be more...
Typically spec weights are given in 'Dry Weights' and do not include fuel, oil, ballast etc. Typically not a huge difference but somthing to consider, as well as the weight of the trailer. The fact...
Interesting, Seems like a questionable design, but I wonder if there isnt some design that increases cooling water flow through the manifolds. It looks as if you added some brass spacers, but you...
I meant back the trailer in all the way and then pull up to your desired loading position so everything was wet. I guess I misunderstood somthing, if your just using the strap then how is the pin of...
If your hitting with 4-5 feet to go, I dont think depth is the problem. It honestly sounds like you may be loading on a ramp that isnt steep enough. How are your water levels? I think the best...
If Ive said it once... ive said it a hundred times... Boys, take your perfect pass units out and see if you can trade them in on somthing that not only will you use.... but will actually work!!
Obviously pitch and loading angle will be affected by the overall pitch of the ramp and water levels etc... Sounds from your comments that you may be putting your trailer too far into the water. The...
I dont drive my boat into the boat buddy. I know that was the idea behind it but I think it puts too much strain on the bow eye. Remember that energy is absorbed and distributed throughout the...
additional thoughts.... i use a raw water strainer to keep weeds and debris out of the raw water system. Is Indmar still using a 160 degree thermostat on these motors? Maybe dropping to a 120 or 140...
Hey everbody.... hope everyone is settling in for the winter. I have a question for anyone who may be able to answer. My 04 susnsport has the chrome covered bow docking lights and one of them is not...
Just use a real fine (1500 ish) grit rubbing compound; Walmat automotive around five dollars. I use this to remove everything from oxidation to scuff marks in the gelcoat. Its fine enough to not...
Im in northern Indiana & there is a lot of talk about wet blocking (filling the motor with antifreeze) and dry blocking (draining). Most of the marinas wont wet block due to EPA restrictions as...
Most of the true 'vents' even on the older supras are a kind of forced air intake usually in front of the windshields and vented out the rear of the boat. I would warn against venting the doghouse as...
Is this problem specific to the ETX Cats? Post a pic while your digging around so we can see where your working. I think I read a follow up post about these plastic parts being a 'on purpose' fail...
That is very interesting; My transmission cooler is secondary to the water pump, thus not relying on 'scooped' water but pumped cooling.
Take your perfect pass out and throw it in the lake. Sorry but they seem to be more trouble than they are worth. I went with the dual speedos instead and thankful i did. Its really not that...
