Does anyone have someone good that they would recommend in this area? Thanks

2013 300 hp L6 Verado - This weekend I had less than 1/4 tank of gas (VV was showing 17 gallons in each tank). I decide to head to the fuel dock - start the motors everything is fine until we hit the end of the 6-knot zone and I go to throttle up. As I throttle up to get on plane the port motor...

Its about time to redo the teak and I was wondering if anyone has any product recommendations. I have all teak decking and teak on the swim platform. The swim platform takes a beating from the water and sun. Previously/currently I have used Semco but I have also read some about Teak Wonder...

I need some help with the next step(s). My setup is as follows - 4 batteries (group 31 AMG, all new last year) 2 are in a house bank, and then 1 each for the port motor and the starboard motor. I have a 3-bank ProNautic 1240P charger which isnt showing any errors and seems to be working fine...

I am getting a low coolant error 62 and shutdown very shortly after starting. The impeller is new this year and I verified its still intact. The sea strainer and thru-hull are clean. I am also seeing what looks like (correct me if I am wrong) sufficient water flow from the exhaust/discharge...

I need some help and advice...I cant seem to figure out why my water flow is only about 1/2 to 1/3 of what it should be. Everything is primed. When I run a hose the stream looks fine so I dont think there is a blockage and the strainer and thru hull seem clean. Could it be the pump..? Do they...

Our table in the v berth lowers and becomes a bed. Its a big table and I am looking for a solution to help eliminate some of the stress on the base when climbing in and out of bed (kids). I was thinking of some sort of adjustable tension pole similar to a shower curtain rod... does anyone have...

Our boat only has 1 wiper and a rather large windshield. I want to apply a product like Rain-X or 303 graphene this year to help shed the water in the areas where the wiper doesn't clear. Can anyone recommend something? Also, can that product be applied where the wiper is or will it cause...

I just found out that both places that could do a pump out have winterized their systems. Our tank is 28 gallons and was emptied recently. I imagine there are 3-4 flushed and no #2 action. Am I ok over the winter? Could I, or should I, just add a few gallons of -60 antifreeze to it? Or do I have...

Our boat is missing the optional Kenyon grill and, after seeing a friend’s grill in action this weekend, I want to install one. My question is what do I need to do or install other than just cutting a hole and dropping one in? The space is there and there is already an outlet and breaker labeled...

Our boat has twin 300 Mercury Verados. While cruising the starboard motor trimmed itself all the way up. I turned off the motor right away and hopefully saved the impeller. However, after that it won’t trim at all up or down (at the helm control or the one back by the motor). Additionally every...

My windlass motor came disconnected from the main unit. I could just lift up the top because the bolts sheared off. How did this happen?? Normal use and nothing that I can think of to cause it. Any ideas on how to fix this? Is it repairable? Thanks!

I have an exterior window that was damaged by the shrink wrap over the winter. I am fairly certain they are acrylic and was wondering if they can be repaired. I also have one (#10 in the photo below) that needs to be replaced. I have the replacement piece from the PO but I am curious what type...

I have always had a slight buzzing sound coming from my 4 cockpit speakers. Last night I installed newer/better speakers and now I can hear it even more. I did some research and keep coming across ground loop isolators, but I think there is already one installed. The buzz happens even when the...

We are looking at new marinas for next year and one that we are considering has two slips for even money. One is a t-head shared with another boat and one is a conventional slip with a small finger pier. Any pro's or con's to the t-head and side tie up?

We just got an email from our marina that they are expecting exceptionally high tides over the next 48 hours. They are shutting off the power and closing the docks (because of no walkway lighting). What should I do differently in my slip, if anything? I typically have two bow lines, a spring...

Is it possible to winterize an outboard in a wet slip? If so, what's the process? If not, how can I keep a boat in the Chesapeake Bay area in the water year-round? I have read mixed things about tilting up and tilting down depending on the air/sea temp. Marina has bubblers. Thanks!

A few weeks ago I was out and had an electrical issue and was unable to use my port side motor. This was the first time where I had to limp home for a considerable distance. It was interesting in several ways and I have few questions. With one motor out what do you do with the other? Leave it...

I am not sure if this is ok to post, and if it isnt please let me know and I will take it down immediately, but I manage a BMW dealership in Silver Spring, Maryland and I was given a bunch of tickets and parking passes to the BMW Championship tournament at Caves Valley (Owings Mills, Maryland)...

Good morning everyone. I am sadly back at work this morning but had a great 4th of July, I hope everyone else did as well! So here is my issue...anchored out all day yesterday. I have 3 batteries, 1 for Stbd motor, 2 for house, port motor, etc with a selector switch for 1, 2, or both. When we...
