What kind of compression drop would indicate a scored cylinder?

As for the bad cylinder he took it out and it ran well until it hit 4000 rpms then it lost power and stalled. He let it cool, restarted and it did the same thing when it hit 4000rpms. He said the piston is heating up and expanding in the cylinder. He said it runs good under 4000 but for how long...

Just got some bad news from my mechanic. My 225 Johnson has a bad cylinder and he is reccomending going with re-man powerhead. My boat is a 82 223 Tournament in decent condition. What should my maximum dollar amount be before it becomes not worth doing with a boat this age?Is a re-man power...

I am installing a stereo in our boat and I am using a weatherproof enclosure to put it in. I want to make it removable so I would need a plug type connector for the wiring at least a six pin ( power,ground, two speakers). Anyone know of a good source for this?

Thanks for your reply, going to order from them. They have the size I need.

Can anyone recomend a place to buy the brass transom drain tubes?

Thanks guys. Good advice.

We are going to slip the boat this year and I was wondering if there was a rule of thumb for figuring out how long to make the lines?

Thanks guys. Going to buy a separate ant.

Can I use my vhf ant. for am/fm reception? If so, what type of adaptor would I need? Thanks.

Thanks guys, I am going to order the wema unit and they are 30% off. Sure beats West Marine in price and quality.

I am going to replace my sending unit and I was looking for opinions on Moeller units which are locally available, or any recomendations.

Thanks again for the recomendations. I will look into the disc setup for the trailer.

How do you guys feel about electric brakes? Can I get disc in electric? I have been in contact with Float-On but not about the brake actuator, I will be calling them this week.

The trailer is aluminum I beam construction and where they come together in the front of the trailer they form the pocket that the coupler and actuator fit. The opening measures 3-3/4" wide by 5-1/2" tall so most of the actuator/couplers won't fit. The trailer being aluminum and galvanized...

My boat came with an old Float-On 6000# gvw trailer. The trailer itself is in good shape but I have to rebuild the brake system and I am having trouble finding a drum brake actuator to fit the trailer. Has anyone had to do this to an old Float-On? Has anyone fabricated an adapter of sorts to fit...

Mike, thanks again.

Thanks for your replies Mike. Just one more question, is there a minimum overlap on the plywood stagger?

Mike ,my soft spots are in the transom above the battery area on both sides one a little softer than the other. As soon as I register my trailer I plan on having it checked out. I was on that boatbuilder .com site and saw your project turned in to a how to tutorial. I wanted to ask you why they...

Vero wing, how long did you use your boat with a bad transom? My transom is good where the motor is mounted and all along the dropped area, can I get the season out of it?
