Berg,

You have Perfect Pass, right? It has a water temperature reading. Well, the paddle wheel version does, I guess the Stargazer doesn't.

Bummer. But where did the idea that boats are supposed to be cheap come from!?!?

I'll put my 2 cents in here. First, a dry bilge? What is that? If you have a dry bilge, you are playing hard enough!

As for which shaft seal to use, I think it depends on the boat. For a DD, a...

If you want to run it in gear to check it out, spray it with water while it spins. And don't rev it up too high.

Well, it looks like the like to the PDF is missing.

Here is a link to a post on Planet Nautique with the text of the letter.

Here is an old post where we talked about ethanol use.

As Mike mentioned, if you every watch a tandem trailer while turning, one of the axles is basically dragged sideways. It is pretty weird to see, but that may be part of the issue. Also, tires just...

Maybe it is just good luck, but the fix I did is easier than all of that. My boat vapor locked a couple of times, very aggravating, and I do change the filter every year. (I have the spin-on type.) I...

I think mine came with lock washers? A nylock nut could probably work as well.

I think the auto parts stores sell a sheet of gasket material so that you can make your own.

Wow, I didn't know that the torsion axles were an option. What are the pros and cons of both setups? With all the torsion axles failure that seem to happen, one would think mire folks would choose...

What I do is to stuff a few in the bow area up between the inner and outer hull in my Outback. They are not "easily accessible" but they do get out of the way. I think I can fit about 5 up there, and...

Wow, very thourough, and well done. Doesn't the seat sit more upright now though?

I'm with blackout, I use the Penzoil Marine 15W40 just like the manual says. I have to get it at the local Mastercraft dealer. I use the Penzoil PZ3 (or PZ52 or whatever it is now) oil filter as well.

The entire workshop is twice the size of my house, but half of it is a rec room with a kitchen, bathroom, pool table, etc. The door is only a 9x8, so I have to fold the tower to get it in there, and...

I'm sure some place like West Marine would have some as well, maybe not the exact one.

Spoke too soon. I had forgot to make the album public... sorry guys. The links should work now.

B-rinse, can you explain what you mean by "use the IMG tags"?

Dammit! How are you guys posting photos? I can't seem to get it to work.

Guys, I know you dig my garage, so I thought I would post some pics of the Ruby Roo all cleaned up for the season, hiding from the pollen. Also, there are pics of my board and ski storage rack.

There used to be one manufacturer that offered some add on steering wheel controls. I think they were designed to fit behind the wheel. It may have been Kenwood?

Yep, sure was.

I have never used the docking lights, but I do have tower lights. They mostly attract bugs. They add too much glare and mess up the human "night vision" when trying to run with them. Not much help at...

That is weird about the Gander Mountain price being less. Gander Mountain bought Overtons a few years ago, so they are the same company now.

The plugs are nice for disconnecting, but they can look kind of clunky. I went the cheap route and just drilled a hole next to the tower and one in the tower leg and then just jumped it arounf the...
