    CRAP !!!!!! VERY aggravated. Help please :-0

    Same thing happened to me a couple years ago w/ the gypsy moths. Black little spots ALL over the boat. Use Krazy Clean and let the boat sit in the sun. The spots won't disappear before your eyes but they will be gone in a day or so.

    BoatersWorld sinking fast

    Ouch. That's truely terrible news. As a long time former BW employee, I am saddened that the whole Ritz entity is dissolving. David Ritz loved Ritz camera which has been a family business since his grandfather opened his 1st store.

    BoatersWorld sinking fast

    The sad thing is is that BW was actually profitable. It is being sacrificed to salvage Ritz camera. Now you know why your CC statement sometimes said Ritz Camera on it. West is licking their overpriced chops.

    anybody ever install speakers in the cockpit?

    I mounted 3" mini box speakers on the dash tucked back by the windshield to compliment 6.5" rear speakers. They are far enough away to not cause interference w/ the compass and with your hard top and enclosure should produce ample sound. They are plenty loud for my 228 w/o a top, IMHO. Posted...

    Advice on pre-purchase used boat motor compression test

    I would pass, no question. 105-125 is too much of a PSI difference. there are too many boats in this market to take the financial risk. It would be one thing if the boat was filthy, you can look past that in your offer but the engines are the life of your boat.

    Adventurer vs Seafairer

    228 every day of the week and twice on Sunday. It is Sunday, right? so...go buy a boat! :wink: If you plan to do an overnight, the 228 has a "more spacious" cuddy. Not the Ritz by any stretch but you won't feel like you slept in a box. Also, with the enclosed transom and centerline livewell...

    CV2

    Basically on the seaV2 hull there are no flat spots making for a softer and dryer re-entry. As simple as I can put it.

    Where to put speakers on '89 24 OffShore

    I had the same concern about the gas fill/fuel neck. I was assured not to worry about it. I love the JBL's. Great sound-totally waterproof. Run a bead of silicon around the speaker b/4 mounting. Need a 6" hole saw to cut out for mounting (uses the same chuck and fits onto your standard drill)...

    changing fuel filter

    I, too, swap them out mid season. After spinning on I simply squeeze the bulb until hard.

    Engine cover on a mooring?

    sounds better than 'going to buff my cowling' or 'have someone buff my cowling for me' . That one may get you in trouble w/ the mrs's.

    208 Stereo install, I have couple of Qs

    Heat shrink butt connects, ring/spade terminals, tubing, where ever there is a crimp. Ancor 16/14 gauge (blue package) and a lighter. Where the wiring harness comes off the back of the deck, all those wires need to be wired to it's corrosponding speaker and to a power source. (it's really easy)...

    Electric toggle switch covers

    universal stickers & mini plackards are available at West & BW but I don't know if they match size, font, color, etc.. Good luck & post where you find them...I'm sure you're not alone!

    Stumped with a wet cabin

    check the seal on the running light. Mine went last year. Had to replace the light. Lens may also be cracked. My 1st bet would be the bedding or seal in the stanchon.
