What you can see looks good. Most vulnerable part is hidden by the o-ring and the core, which is the mating edge of the aluminum housing. If you pull the o rings off and slide out the core, you can check out the inner face and edge of the two ends of the housing.

Yup. That’s good enough. If you need to brush on, a 50-50 mix of Rustoleum white and almond gets close enough to the same color.

One of my favorites from my youth. Loved the old simple Rams uniforms then.

Thanks. I’ll go on plane as needed to get through tough spots are make extra distances. So I’m not locked at 75mi a day max.

Well thank you!

We’ve switched from winters in FL to summers going north, since we now raise an 8 year old. This June we are going from our home port of Beaufort, SC to Annapolis for a month. I’ve only done the North Carolina leg of the ICW once and it was on plane knocking off 150 miles a day. This time...

Well, you could do the easy access one. If it pulls apart easy and there is no significant pitting on the aluminum housing, then good to go. So use it to learn the process and get an idea as to whether you need to pull the starboard one.

In 2017, We were just south of the path of totality here in Beaufort, SC. So we made a boating event out of it. Three of us took our boats up to Isle of Palms and anchored for a few days at Shark Hole. Had a lot of fun. Actual eclipse part was quick and underwhelming, but now we have it...

Pull the air filter off and stick your hand in there and try to spin the turbo. If it doesn’t spin, turbo rebuild time.

I buy all my Tohatsu parts from here: http://www.tohatsu.us/home.php

There is no 1000 hour service. Here is the general routine (at least what I follow): Annually change oil/filter, fuel filters, transmission oil, clean air filters, test coolant and change filter based on test results, check impeller wear. Every two years, fully service seawater cooling...

Blue tape is solid hull. Other is cored hull

My pump on a 2001 was the 800 when I bought it. I replaced it once with the same. Although the parts manual says a 2000, there isn’t a 2000 in the four 400DBs I work on. But they are all 2001 or 2002. Are you still dumping your galley sink into the shower sump?

I did some digging and found our discussion on this. Dang, turns out it was 10 years ago. https://clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/180-bow-rider-thread-questions-answers-or-just-chat.24346/page-9#post-680670

I had a 175 Sport with the 3.0. Stainless steel prop wasn’t an improvement in anything but the hole in my wallet. I recommend to stick with aluminum for that engine and your boat. But hopefully @Lazy Daze will pipe in. He’s an expert on those size boats.

I’ve disassembled mine to remove the hydraulic RAM. It’s pretty obvious and easy if you want to take a closer look at the pedestal. Six hex head screws at the bottom separate the pedestal from the base. And four Phillips underneath the seat (slide seat forward to access the front two screws)...

Over the last several years I've learned to do my own upholstery and canvas work. I will also do jobs for my friend and dock mates, on occasion. As a result I have an account with both Sailrite and Trivantage, providing me with "discounts" in the materials. But I have found that the shipping...

Here you go. Everything you should need to know is in this post: https://clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/40-sedan-bridge-forum.53961/page-271#post-1202347

There’s a whole discussion on this in the 40 Sedan Bridge thread. Several of us over there have replaced the rollers. Sadly, there won’t be any pictures. They’ve all gone to la-la land with the site shutdown that occurred a while ago.
