Another thing I didn't see mentioned is a MOB engine cut off device, like FELL. Not much equipment more critical than staying with the boat.

Use the tape, but if drilling a straight hole, I run the drill backwards through the gel coat, until I get to glass. Less flaking or chipping of the gel coat around the edges.

My inside corners, on the walkaround step, have shrunk and pulled away, leaving a gap behind, which traps anything washing off the bow. Any tips, like heat gun,etc., for doing corners?

Did you fit the windows to the existing top, or have to replace?

If you are re-drilling an existing hole, epoxy a square of 1/2" plywood to the underneath, and drill a new pilot hole in the plywood(May need a longer pilot bit). You will be happier trading that 15* for another zero*. Or, make the plywood large enough that you can screw it in from the bottom...

Couple of ways to do it, one with a Y valve, or with a tee and a cut-off valve. BUT, live well pumps are typically high volume, low pressure, which is not the best pump for wash down. Best option is to switch out to a dual outlet livewell pump(check to see if you already have one), and tee off...

Have you looked to make sure both trim tabs are fully retracted? I agree with Skunkboat, that it sounds like a running gear issue, however, that would not explain a noticeable list at rest. Only a weight shift would cause that, in my opinion.

It was listed on eBay, and I bought it last night. Just hope that it was not pre-sold.

Looks like “Aquashox” in the picture.

Yeah, these motors do shake, rattle and roll, when running on only 4 cylinders, but the movement is still there with the engine off. I'll know more tomorrow evening. Thanks.

Is it just my boomer skills, or does this site not host video? PM me a number, or an email, and I will send you a 10 second video of what it is doing.

Just sold my Tournament 22 after 10 years. Always wanted a better top, and ended up with an over sized bimini as a compromise. Nothing wrong with a rigid top, as long as you don't have low bridges, or garages, to contend with. Pros: Anything with a rigid frame, whether hard top or canvas, offers...

On the port side of the engine bracket, you see about an inch of exposed thread. On the end of that, behind the gray L bracket, is a large locking nut, on both sides of the engine. That connection to the threaded rod is not loose, in that there is no play in that connection, other than...

For those who have had them out, how far do they open before the hinge disengages?

The end of the gray elbow, which is attached to the stainless rod, is the vertical pivot point on both sides of the engine. To be clear, the aft end of the el, where it attaches to the engine mounting bracket. Propably a quarter to a half inch of vertical movement on the front end. The snapshot...

Another Seastar question, but I don’t want to sidetrack the other post, because my question is not about steering but rather the unit itself. This 2000 OX66 is the first motor I have ever had with power steering steering. How loose, or how tight, should the cylinder itself be mounted to the...

What happened to the 3D printer craze? Capt. Bill, thanks for the photo. The U looks assymetrical, and that long crack makes the hinge looks like a separate piece, welded on to the U.

I can't help, but it would be nice, if anyone removes one of these vent windows to replace the latch or something, if they would take a couple of good pictures of this infamous hinge, especially a profile from the end, so that others can see what everyone is dealing with. Posts like this one...
