    2007 306 Bimini - aft Bilge replacement

We removed the canvas boat cover for the hurricane, confirmed the pumps were working, and rode out the storm. when we went to put the cover back on 2 days ago (over a week post storm), I heard the bilge pump running, despite ZERO water in the aft bilge. The main Batt 1 & 2 were...

    Goodbye ETEC

    I have brand new twin 300 G2’s. They are absolute BEASTS. Spectacular motors, pushing my 306 well above 47mph fully loaded, at 1.2mpg. The power and torque is stunning. I have had the motors for about 4 months. I am deeply saddened by this short-sighted move by BRP. Supposedly the have enough...
