Re: Repair shop blew engine on sea trial after "fixing it" w I haven't paid for anything yet. I wasn't happy and they didn't really seem to care, with the exception of 15% off the repair. I know the 300 hpdi has a bad wrap but supposedly this failure wasn't characteristic of their normal...

Re: Repair shop blew engine on sea trial after "fixing it" w Its an 04 300 hpdi. I know this engine has a bad rap but it had all the updates done and it had never given me any trouble. I brought it for service because at 5k rpms the motor was bogging down. It would run fine all day long at...

Re: Repair shop blew engine on sea trial after "fixing it" w I wanted the fuel injectors cleaned. 2 of them were stuck in place so they had to take the head off to remove them. They put it all back together with new parts and it blew.

I am curious if anyone has bought an after market cover for their boat. I'm getting ready to put the boat away and thought about getting a cover instead of shrink wrapping year after year. I have a 257 advance. Anyone have any ideas, experiences?

I am looking to install a windlass on my 257. I will probably have it installed by the dealer, but just as a point of reference how much should the job cost. Can it be done by myself or should i just let the dealer do it. Also, just found the site. Looks like theres a lot of info on...
