The 6 cylinder verado's are too heavy. That's why you can find bargains on those. For me they are a little too complicated for an older fishing boat. The 200 4 cyl would perform well but for me it's just a little too fancy. My new 4 strokes have as much or more power than my old carbureted 2...

With the boat floating free from the lift sitting still. If there's any water on the deck I would pass on the deal. The why doesnt really matter. Good luck!

Here's a few things to check. If maintenance has been kept up these things may already be repaired. 1. The removable fiberglass deck plates over the fuel tanks are usually soft and in need of re-coring. 2. The plastic thru hulls were junk in 94. All need to be replaced. 3. The bulkhead at your...

I repowered with a pair of suzuki 200's this year. So far I'm very happy with them. I haven't needed service or warranty yet. I did my first oil change myself with no difficulties. The larger diameter prop seems to be an advantage. I'm satisfied with mine so far, there's nothing like new stuff...

That will leave the tilt and trim pistons extended and exposed to the elements. I would coat them with grease. Any minor corrosion that occurs over winter will damage the seals when you retract them to lower the motor. If at all possible I would leave it down.

Sorry about your loss. The good news is that there are only 4 bolts holding your old engine on. If you are happy with your hull it's a perfect time to get a new or nearly new outboard that you can get serviced locally. Don't let it get you down we've all been there. Good luck!

I think your gulfstream will tow great until an emergency situation arises. Then I think it will get pushed around and beat up. I wouldn't do it regularly. Just my $.02

Less, If those engines need shift rod service because of corrosion they're totaled. That's a pre seav2 hull. Unless it's a bargain I would look for a 92 or newer hull with 93 or newer Yamaha's. Just my $.02. good luck!

That 07 probably had 5 years of warranty and expires in 2012. Will you be trailering or bottom painting? Here's one with no hardtop and bottom paint. http://baltimore.craigslist.org/boa/1956680553.html a few more vannah.craigslist.org/boa/1955145209.html...

There is a huge difference with hydraulic steering on a 150 hp. Once it's installed you will never know how you did without it. Good luck with your project.

Seems like your off to a rough start callin out Bob P on a gravity issue. Let me see if I can add a little clarity to the situation. I recently repowered and my scuppers are underwater. Before my repower the stain around my boat was in about the same spot. What matters is that the deck needs to...

If your pump is adequate, all you need is a 3 way valve some hose and the washdown outlet. The million dollar question is what model pump do you have?

Sounds like the integral pressure switch in your pump is hanging up. you may be able to dismantle it clean it and reassemble. If its a shurflo blaster they're kind of notorious for failures. I now just replace mine when it's questionable. My trailer brakes last longer than my wash down pumps...

If it were mine I would do a decarb treatment. And add Ring Free 2oz per gallon then run it, if it's a carbon issue it will gradually run better. This is the cheapest and easiest thing to try first. Just my $.02, good luck with it.

I was able to dismantle mine and lubricate it, now its good as new. I wouldn't use a home depot brass valve. Yours is probably bronze. The threads may be different also. I'm just guessin' . Others here will know more but I think it's a good idea to stay out of the depot's plumbing isle. Good...

obviously you didn't see their post on "breathalyzer". I think this may be the "pledge your brakes guy"! :-|

Sounds like you're in for trouble in another year if you didn't pledge those new parts. :bang On your next service maybe try some Kodiaks. My actuator is a Titan and it has done well also. Just curious, Did he say pledge to your face or was that over the phone? Thats a good one! I checked...

I've got 1/4" starboard in white. I was happy to get rid of the simulated wood grain.

Do a load test on the battery to be sure its not weak then check connections and gauge of wire etc.

Do yourself a favor and google "prokat" Pretend you own one and contact the factory with a technical question. Next contact Grady White customer service with a question or concern. What year is the "prokat" are the people that built it still in business? Part of Grady's value is in their...
