I posed this question on another thread but I wanted to reach out. 2006 Merc 8.1's with Smartcraft, are the hours on the tach's coming straight from the ECU? Or are they susceptible to being run up by ignition key position? Thanks!

We will be going bigger this year and soon it must be determined just how big. Like usual I have screwed myself into the ground pondering details. Really the primary reason to move up was bedding. Sleeping on the F29 just doesn't work. I like the late 90's 34pc and then started worrying about...

I am looking to remove my bow pulpit in order to seal it from leaking into the cabin. While r&r on the windlass it looked to be as easy as two bolts and the forward most stanchions. Besides the wires, does anything else have to be removed such as the two cleats and the windlass? Thanks, Mike.

Ok I have been researching early model 37pc's and noticed something interesting. According to Formula the 37pc debuted in 2001 at nearly 39x13 @ 18000# and the very next model year it was listed as 39x12 @ 16000#. I have seen them offered for sale as early as a 2000 model year (Formula brochure...

http://knot10.com/boat-details/?BoatID=4712790 Just curious about this one. Salesman says it is soon to be repossessed. I don't know if this is true or not. I figure it's to light a fire under my um wallet. PM if you have any inside info that you care not to share. I live far from this place so...

Looking at upgrading to a 34pc. 1998-2002 will fall into my price range. I have shopped the internet for a while now and I have a few questions for those who know. Engines: 496fwc vs 454fwc/rwc? BIII vs inboards? Problems to look for? What to avoid? Thanks in advance.

Any advice on how to pull a shift cable back to the dash remote on a 29pc? Fish tape or connect to the old cable? Tricks of the trade would be appreciated!

Hello everyone, My dockmate has a 1998 Volvo Penta 7.4 GL sterndrive and needs an ignition control module 3854230. It is now obsolete and there is no substitute part that we know of. Does anyone know who has these on the shelf? Custom engineering ideas? Thanks!

Hello I just replaced my detector on the 88 F29. I purchase a Xantrac marine detector and mounted it where the old one was. It is on the wall at the rear of the aft cabin starboard side. I can run the gen all day it does not go off. Running the engines at idle, no problem. Cruising at 28mph it...
