    Lots of water in bilge area, wrong drain plug?

    Exactly what sparks of said. Thru hulls on the side of the boat still go below water when going slow and rocking in the bay.

    Kicker on a 228.

    My 226 had batteries to port. I moved them both to starboard side. Now rides level with two ppl. Slightly to starboard by myself. The prop torque leans boat to port. The batteries for some reason are on the port side making it worse. All this while on plane. If I was you I would put the kicker...

    Which way does the stuid fuel filter go?

    Russ, for as safe as you presume to be I can’t believe as an ex navy guy you toke the family out with them. They could have leaked gas right into the bilge for the bilge pump to catch on fire.

    Smoke and water from exhaust

    Yeah pretty common. Let us know how it holds. Feel like all of us 3.3L owners will be there some time. It seems to not matter what year or horsepower.

    Marlin transom cap

    I’m not sure glasses over is the answer. A lot of stress and small give movement at transom. I went with 5200 and filled in the gaps. Has some give and movement for the two pieces of hull to give and not be so rigid like a California sky scraper. Seems to be working great and caught my transom...

    Replacing Teak Trim with Aluminum or automotive trim

    Wow looks good. Makes the teal pop. If you were to take teak off I’d say 1/4” seafoam color starboard.

    Smoke and water from exhaust

    Is that behind the thermostat? Trying to get an idea where that is. What does a new power head cost? Grinding down and repairing will maybe get u a season.

    Try greasing your steering pivot tube. Work the motor back and forth.

    BAD Transom Rot

    Essentially all from the transom bang plate cap. My 05 had raw wood underneath of it. I see these big 37 and 36 models and think wow. Three motors gotta come off to fix that cap.
