Looks great, I like the no stripe clean sides!

No wonder it sold so fast, that's a very low price, even with a seized motor! Just sold my 85 260 in 2 days for close to that price.

Big thank you to those who got the site back up!!

Probably okay, just a little extra wear on the brake pads. You'll notice it stops quicker with the trailer brakes active. :)

Looks great, always like those hard tops!

It's the lockout pin used to stop the brakes from applying when you back-up, if left in the brakes won't work when driving forward, definitely remove it when driving forward or no brakes. Newer setups use an electrical lock out connected to your reverse lights, frankly I prefer your option. You...

I think that's already happened in my area. There are several storage lots that were full of old boats and the boats are gone, seriously probably hundreds gone!! During a recent day out, saw a dozen or so 70's - 80's boats in the 18-25 ft range cruising, they were fixed up, freshly polished /...

The DUI Marine distributor has been around for several years as an alternative to the TB IV and V. As @markrsimon mentioned, it uses a mechanical advance tuned for marine applications. The mechanical advance essentially replicates what the IV's timing advance features via mechanical rather than...

Nope, won't need one. It's a proven set up, check it out.

What works for me... Get a can WD-40 or PB Blaster, squirt up around the ball / under the coupler, use the trailer jack to put a slight upward pressure on the coupler, block the wheels of the trailer (forward and backwards) start rocking the truck between drive and reverse without touching the...

I've been having problems with my TB V, ordered and looking forward to switching to the DUI (David Unified Ignition) Marine HEI set up that doesn't require an ICM or Knock sensor/module. Will be so glad to simplify the set-up!

That's how my shop found my leak was coming from connection of the exhaust Y pipe and inner transom plate, worked great!

No personal experience with the ZipWake, one interesting thing I've heard on other forums and saw on YouTube is that ZipWake deploys / retracts much faster than traditional the tabs, users say the quicker adjustments make the boat feel more stable, etc. If I replace my tabs I'll consider ZipWake.

Replaced mine with this complete assembly this summer, while the engine was out replaced the Y pipe, glad to know it's all reliable now...

Ah yes, thanks
