    OX66 Winky Blinky Expertise Needed

    so I have a thought based on an experience I had. Did you try taking temp readings of all the cylinders of the problem engine? see if the uppermost cylinders are warmer. I found my cut out to limp mode ended up being because one of the screws holding down the impeller plate was stripped and...

    so I got some paint down. Very tuff to spray in confined spaces. Started the non skid surfaces and will tape off and finish cabin surfaces this week. Got the new battery trays built for the forward storage spaces(thanks for the idea someone) and am now looking forward to putting stuff back together

    ok built a couple of spray booths, things are getting serious now. If I only knew what I was doing. Got the boat all covered in plastic and drop clothes as well as the tents. I got to two 10 x 20 shelters and made a 30 footer out of them. Crash course on spraying, learning not to thin the paint...

    restoration pics.

    thank you, I recently tried to upload some pics but they were to large I think my new phone may be the culprit. just about done with the cabin primer coats. weather is my biggest enemy, cloudy and cool mostly but I'm getting there.

    Trolling for stripers

    I have stripers in my back yard, we troll at 2 to 3 mph. no more no less, plastics, rapalas, or herring(2 or less). from kayak, jon boat, pontoon boat doesn't matter. surface trolling or deeper speed doesn't change. in the evenings here they come up to chase bait, otherwise they stay suspended

    Any Suggestions - looking to replace fish box and anchor box covers on a 1995 208 Adventurer - any help finding would be great - Thank you

    I am working on mine now. Since I am painting, I have epoxy coated with the additive for moisture in it to seal all fairing. 2 coats of primer, 2nd one mixed with some of the finish paint. I then will apply a few top coats. mine were in pretty good shape but for sure the best bet here is to...

    at this juncture you are certainly best off replacing the transom, eating the cost and write it off in the name of safety. ;)

    Upgrade outboards

    yes Doc I agree. It obviously didn't seem smart for me to invest in my old hull but I really always liked the boat. After considering the sizable expenses of doing it over I figured as long as it was solid when I was done it would last along time and would always be enough boat. like you...

    Battery switch issue

    What model is this on? At the risk of sounding dumb, could there be another battery somewhere? it really doesn't make any sense, either hidden battery or hot wired to dash to circumvent an issue but you should see a wire to battery if so.
