    Just had a survey done on the 2005 33 express I'm purchasing and the surveyor told me one of the best things to coat metal below water components with to stop marine growth was slick50, the same stuff put in engines for improved performance. Anyone else heard this or tried it? Seems strange...

    Side Power Thruster Problems

    Anybody encounter losing power to their bow thruster? Mine simply stopped working on the windiest day last year as would be expected. I checked the fuse as well as the red mushroom kill switch and both are fine. Seems there is 12V to the terminals so my hunch is the solenoids. Won't power in...
