I became aware of this press release ( http://www.indianasnewscenter.com/news/local/53714967.html ) where Fleetwood, the maker of RV's, is naming Decatur, IN their new Corporate HQ since coming out of Ch. 11. The RV industry has been devastated since the economic downturn. Yet, they are...

Last weekend, I fired up the genny and A/C. I had it running for about 5 minutes, when it started sounding much louder -- almost like it does when it loses its sea water prime. I looked over starboard and could see water flowing for both then genny and the A/C. Then, the water flowing out...

I spoke with Scott Porter about this and he is very appreciative. It is not often that a customer base comes together to encourage the employees in these times. He said the whole thing would come to about $500. He would like to schedule it for sometime in April since some folks are out on...

http://bigbadboat.blogspot.com/2009/03/sign-of-times-formula-idles-225-workers.html I was wondering where Formula was at in production. The credit market had to kill things. I just ran across this. Hopefully, things will turn around quickly!

I have some minor scratches in my Imron. Does the Imron hold up to a mild rubbing compound to remove them?

Just when he thought he could dash the hopes of boaters everywhere north of Florida, the Groundhog is dealt a blow from nature with a weekend at LOTO that will near 70 degrees. That Groundhog is not in it for good, grounded reporting. Nope, he is in it for the sensation. The ratings. It doesn't...

I have a 400 SS. When getting a pump out, the procedure is to draw out the waste material, backflush with water, and then pump out again. On my boat, we could never get the fresh water to go in. It turns out that the level of the pump out location is at or lower than the lowest point of the line...

I have used Slick 50 in 2 of my cars, and have been amazed by improved fuel economy. 10% - 15% improvement by my records. Has anyone tried it in 496's? Any reason not to?

I have a 2005 400 SS w/ 496 Mag HO's. I typically cruise trimmed out at 3800 RPM / 36 MPH. Often, while under way, my port engine will increase and decrease by about 200 RPM's (3800 - 4000 RPM). It sounds like I am getting cavitation at the prop. My first assumption is that the boat is leaning...

I have a '05 400 SS with 496 HO Mag's and Bravo 3 X's. We love the boat. However, it only does about 51 MPH tops. Cruising at 36 MPH, I averaged 20 GPH last year. Still, I want a higher top end. Thinking about the Raylar 525 kit (kit 103). Does anyone have experience with this kit? Performance...
