    Gas Shocks

    As Wayne said go to auto parts store. I replaced my two gas shocks on my 210 sun deck engine cover and also the ski storage locker in bow floor. Bought them at NAPA auto parts for a small price. Bring your old ones and they will match them up.

    trim tabs or hydrofoil?

    Smart abs are what worked for me. I have a 1999 210 SD and have a heaver P.S.I tab on my port side due to port list and a lighter one on starboard side. Boat jumps right up on plain and not much noticeable speed loss. 5.0 MPI .I am very pleased with the results and boat rides level.

    Fuel Starvation / Fuel Pump Vent Hose

    That hose is clear so that you can see if there is any fuel in it. if you see fuel in that line it means the fuel pump diaphragm is leaking. The hose as stated prior lets the fuel go to the engine and not into the bilge. The fuel pump should be replaced right away. That is the difference from a...

    The water temp here in the Keys dropped to 79.9 down from 84 due to wind and rain for the past two weeks. Guess we would be the wussies if the water temp was 70. Looks like it was a great time, we have a sandbar that we all get together at and have the same fun. Everyone have a great and safe...

    Restored PT boat video

    very very cool. I used to live in Huntington L.I. and knew Arther Knutson. They had a shipyard back in the day and built sub chasers for the Navy and I got to see some of the old parts and things that were left over from the war. Great boats built tough.

    Removing Risers...

I had a 5.7 that would do the same thing at high R.P.M . and as soon as I backed off temp would drop back to normal.What it turned out to be was the impeller had failed and was replaced but all...

    No temp problem

    Check to make sure that the sender and gauge are compatible. If the sender is not right for the gauge it will give you a false reading. This could be possible as you said you changed both. Good luck
