I wanted to “like” the knob I put on my wheel. It looked nice, but in terms of any benefit compared to inconvenience, the inconvenience dominated and was the reason why the knob only lasted a week on my boat. The other inconvenient truth, there really was very little need for it. I back in...

My theory, just an ever so slight of an input was created by the wheel turning enough to partially unseat the fluid check valve in the helm. The autopilot was not “erratic” but slightly sloppier in correcting. If you have ever turned the wheel without disengaging the autopilot and then...

That’s a great look boat….👍

I tried a knob for about a week. Despite best intentions, on a boat with hydraulic steering and a somewhat vertical wheel mounting (like in a Parker Pilot House) that knob is eventually gonna park itself at 6 o’clock, which on my boat is smack dab in the way. This becomes particularly...

You’ve got more then dogs & boats in that 1st post….

Hope the health issues work out OK. I can meet you at the Situate PD any time. I’m in CT about 2 hours from the Situate PD. Mike P

I have Armstrongs and they do stick up a bit. Not high enough to stub a toe but high enough that if you slid a cooler or any other sort of box over the plates, you would notice it….

I can meet you at Scituate PD any time that’s convenient for you.

I sent you a private message….👍

I will absolutely take the A65s & 60 off your hands. I’m in CT and will give them a wonderful home. I can pick them up anytime.

I repowered from Yamaha to Suzuki back in 2019. I had done some reading before making the jump to Suzuki and while almost everything I read about the Suzuki DFs was positive, there were more reports of sticky lower units then with Yamaha. Subsequently I planned 100% to drop my lower unit at...

The short answer is you can’t.

Before you go nuclear, rule out the gasket on the sending unit being the culprit. The following might be of some help and save you some $$. The sending will only leak when the fuel tank is totally full and once the fuel leaks off full or you burn off some fuel the sending unit stops leaking...

This product below is not necessary to clean the entire boat/hull BUT for any stubborn stains on the hull, water line, rust etc etc, this product is outstanding. I have used it extensively on my cream colored hull and haven’t noticed it do anything negative except for cleaning what needed to...

Put on the 3-16-17 Suzuki Water Grip Propeller as recommended in post #24 and enjoy your repowered boat. I don’t claim to be a fortune teller but let’s just say a little birdie told me that after a season or two , you’re not gonna be upset with yourself for saving the extra money that you...

I’m sorry to hear about u getting the THT boot. I’ve been to camp a few times myself and yea it’s frustrating how subjective and 1 sided that process is…

I can’t speak on that specific boat but IMO there are a lot used boats on the market with asking prices that still reflect the shortages and pricing insanity of 2022. In the Spring & Summer of 2022, it was flat out amazing what people were getting for used boats. It wasn’t just boats, used...

That’s a spectacular looking wheel house, wow…..👍👍

My 5th season complete since repowering with a 2019 White Suzuki DF 300 APXX . Total engine hours are now 1109 with 265 engine hours logged this season. Pleased to report that my lower unit slid down with ease after the last nut was removed. Sticking with my practice of heavily greasing the...
