RETREIVER

I have used Bayside Marine in Duxbury. They have an excellent fiberglass contractor they use. Baert Marine in Danvers is very good.

Ky Grady, My engines were the same as yours @ 1,200 hours and running perfect. In fact for the 12 years all we ever had to do was maintenance, not one mechanical repair. I did not want to sink 16K into repairing them but I probably could have got another 1,200+ hour out of them. My first quote...

Had this problem last winter and ended up replacing engines with new F250's. My brother in-law also the same issue last winter and his mechanic told him he could repair by using a high heat epoxy. He opted for it and had a flawless summer. I have heard of welding too but no first hand experience.

I had the corrosion issue in 2 2004 F225 this past winter and ended up replacing both engines with the F250 4.2L. One of the 04s had progressed to the head and their was no value or interest from the Yamaha dealer. The one with the head in good shape I got $800 for just the head from another of...

Thanks for the tip, I was checking the manufacturer web site (just in case) and they do have a model that has same dimensions and valve setup. They are still using the plastic drain valve and it is available for under 10 bucks. The unit is around $350. They do list on these units that the anode...

Re: Winteriing hot water system ? The relief valve and faucet were open, my guess is either a bad valve or sediment clogging the valve. I will probably try to remove the valve, but I am afraid of the drain valve breaking off since the heater is now 13 years old.

Yesterday I was winterizing my system and I ran the fresh water dry. I the proceeded to drain the hot water tank. When the drain valve was wide open the water started to come out but very slow. After about and hour trickle stopped. Then added 7 gallons of ping ant-freeze to the main tank. When I...

is the fly wheel replacement at no cost for the life of the engine or just the warranty period?

Had my twin F250 done in the spring and the bill was $600 so $300 for a single

Not sure on a 330 but my 282 has two additional fuse blocks. One is overhead inside the radio box attached to the hard top and there is a second under the steering helm station. There is also a second main circuit breaker under the starboard side of the boat - it is right after shore power...

Hi - it's time to replace the canvas and plastic windows on my 04 Sailfish. The current front canvas / window setup has 2 panels connected by a zipper. I never open the front panels and I was wondering if anyone has done a canvas/window replacement with a single pane with no zipper spanning the...

I saw a Whaler 42 last week for sale - powered with 4 300HP Mercs. The price was $1.2 million! There are some used 42's for $875K.

I had a Gulfstream with a hardtop and if it was windy I would just rollup the side curtains and that would eliminate most of the sail impact from the wind.

A few weeks ago I was traveling and stated to smell gasoline. I stopped and opened the floor hatch over the main fuel tank. The area around the fuel sender was wet and smelled of gass. I noticed a small piece of the sender gasket was ripped or deteriorated. When I go back to shore I got a...

West Marine has one that rigs a one of your rod holders. It is similar be not identical to the one you pictured.
