    I'm looking for some Garelick ribbed seat pedestal tube for a project, about 12" total. If you have an old pedestal around or a section cut off, I'm happy to take it off of your hands. OD is 2 7/8". Pictures as examples.

    150 HPDI chugging when idling

    I work on a 150 HPDI that had a rough idle. I clean out the dog bone and O2 sensor every two years, and changed the low pressure pumps this year. The pumps made a big difference.

    Throttle Cable Length for 17'/18'?

    The last two numbers on your existing cables should be the length. Look for numbers near each end.

    Advice for used boat purchase

    The mechanic (engine) and surveyor (hull and systems) are considered expert advisers with special knowledge and skill. They are hired by the buyer to identify items prior to the sale, similar to a home inspector. Not all have special knowledge or skill, and some buyers know enough that their...

    Advice for used boat purchase

    If the engine hours from the last service match the hours on the boat (indicating no use since last service), then you are probably in good shape. It's even better if they recorded cylinder compression numbers at this time. Did the last service include a sea trial? Did the mechanic record...

    Advice for used boat purchase

    I would absolutely sea trial the boat, ideally with a mechanic present who can hook up a laptop. If no mechanic, then make sure the engine turns rated rpm and speed matches the original performance data, taking T-top and bottom condition into consideration. Without knowing any options nor...

    21/23 center consoles with forward seating?

    I don't know why the bracket wouldn't work, always hear boats run better with them. I'd be willing to help set up a boat if someone wants to try. fx- I think your F225 is about 600lb. Do you think a 500lb motor (newer F200) would be better? Or still bad when 1-2 guys get at the transom...

    21/23 center consoles with forward seating?

    Spent some time looking at 21s and 23s and think the 21DVCC is the way to go. Per Tristate, the 21 does not run right with a bracket, it has been tried. Too bad because I really like the new SeaOx 21 layout with closed transom and bracket. Does anyone find the transom cut out on the 21DV too...

    21/23 center consoles with forward seating?

    I'm starting to think about moving up from my 17' to a 21 or 23 CC. Really want the forward v-style seating, which models/years should I be looking for? I really do not want a step up (even 2" high) like some of the boats have. Did they ever make a 21 deep v with a bracket? Budget is...

    Suzuki Outboard Repower

    Years ago I had a powerhead replaced out of warranty by Yamaha due to an oiling failure because the dealer knew that I only used Yamalube. That being said, a lot of people like the XLF. I would drain the system before switching. It sometimes pays to shop around on filters and parts, some...

    115 E-TEC on a 1700 prop suggestions

    Finally went out and ran the boat. Was rough out so I could only get it up to about 30 mph or so. Overall boat is much better to drive, doesn't feel like I'm dragging a 2x4 behind it now. Still slides a little and cavitates in hard turns. 3200 rpm, 23 mph = 10.7~ slip. I really need a...

    Suzuki Outboard Repower

    I hear you on the inline filter cost. Add the vst filter and o-ring ($30!) each year and it adds up. I usually buy all my parts from Chris Pine at Beacon Light in Middle River because he answers his phone when I get stuck on a Sunday afternoon. How much oil are you burning per tank of gas...

    Suzuki Outboard Repower

    What's going on with the HPDI? That motor should be really reliable. I have one too and would like to know what you're going through. I don't think you will gain much efficiency except at idle/trolling speeds, and it will need to be properly set up from the start. Do you have a good...
