Yes very positive reviews on the four blade props and drop fins.

I always pull the thermostat, drain the motor and then run the anti-freeze.

I run our generator for an hour minimum under load each time we take the boat out. We usually cook on the water in the evening. So run systems and a/c and really - knock on wood... Don't have issues. The boat has 542 hours and the generator has just over 400 hours on it. Personally I don't find...

They look much better on video.

In general, it seems like what is said before 2% of people are courteous when you get to popular areas. I find a small percentage of boaters really follow etiquette. It is annoying when you are sound asleep and someone anchors nearby after midnight and cranks music... I assume they are drunk and...

I like my Hurley H20 davits on my 320. Similar platform as the 340 you have. Have to be a bit cautious coming off plane. But they are easy to load and I can get to shore power connection and transom locker.

The motor doesn't stay trimmed up. It drops. It works but drops down.

I installed the 943xsv this year on my 320. Love it. Also replaced the VHF with the 315 - to replace the old Northstar gear that was dying/died.

So we inherited a 2008 Boston Whaler - 13' and it is a dinghy of sorts for us it has a 40 hp - 4 - stroke EFI on it - always been in freshwater. ... I decided to post in the motor section... When I got it changed the fuel filter and oil and have run Mercury Quickleen through it. Motor always...

That has been my experience - since it is a covered slip and I back in - the boat just needs a little top off. I made the mistake of having my old dinghy on a jet ski pad for a couple season - even though I had a cover. The temperature swings ruined it over the summer.

So my boat stays in a covered slip all winter and I have left the dinghy on the back of the boat inflated with the cover on it most winters. I recently bought an inflatable stand-up paddle board and it says to deflate it after use. Which it is higher pressure at 12 to 14 psi versus the dinghy...

Seems like a lot of people are saying if I can sell. I will. And then find what I want - assuming the market is going to be down for a bit. Supply chain is a mess. I just got my Garmin VHF I ordered in February. I am a cyclist and the bike market is crazy as well. Frame prices are up - but...

Just installed the Xintex in Black

So Quicksilver originally had a full synthetic when I bought the boat in 2007. After a few years they dropped it and recommended the synthetic blend. So I have always used it the synthetic blend after they stopped synthetic. I spoke to the service manager at Marine Max back then and they had a...

It seems like there are two types of boaters. Those that party and have a boat as the location and those that love boating and everything about maintaining a vessel. Some areas are known as more party areas. Lake of The Ozarks is one example. I often watch the videos Temptation Yachts does and...
