    Clean Fresh Water Tank

    anyone have any input as to concentration to use in the full water system. I used normal household vinegar to descale my hot water tank on another boat. I guess household vinegar is about 5%. I was thinking about doing 10%.

    thanks. I have always used these filters when filling the tank. My last boat came from an area with exceptionally hard water. I had to soak all of the faucets in vinegar. also the water heater was a mess. I pulled it and rigged up a plug to power it up in my garage. Filled it with vinegar...

    What are your thoughts about a 45' boat with stern drives

    I would prefer and would not mind paying for diesels with shaft drive. It seems the only options on the 450 was the stern drives with gas or pods with diesels.

    What are your thoughts about a 45' boat with stern drives

    Thanks for the input. i do really like the layout but not looking for a project or problem. boat has 275 on motors and sub 200 on generator. Seems like a super nice boat but a bit scary. It has new outdrives but the transom assy is what scares me.

    What are your thoughts about a 45' boat with stern drives

    Yes. Stern Drive = Bravo 3 outdrives. Boat weighs around 24K. I really prefer Diesel motors. At least right now i am only seeing the diesels with Pods and i really dont want to go down that road.
