Sean, A bunch of years ago, we were chewing up zincs every three weeks. We eventually found a bad bilge pump. I had 1.5 volts coming being thrown off. We found the bad pump using an ohm meter. We had to first shut everything down and disconnect the batteries. We hooked the ohm meter up to the batter...

Boating's "The Best Of All Time" Issue

I believe that. We have had ours since 1975 and I only see me getting rid of it until I can no longer get use or pleasure out of it. Tony Meola

Bottom Paint Blisters

See if you the yard has anyone that will use baking soda instead of sand. They say that the baking soda can be controlled so the barrier coat doesn't come off. How long does the barrior coat last, well to give you an idea, we put 5 coats on in 1986 and it is still going strong. Tony Meola

I still have about a quarter gallon left, but I thought the Max Wax might work better. When I am ready I will let you know and place my order. Tony Meola

I have tried to get them to increase the hull coverage but they refuse to go any higher. I am in NJ and that ma...

Vic, Can the Max Wax be used to spray the engines down for winter storage? I know its early but unfortunately up here in the NE the summer is quickly drawing to a close and before we know it the snow will be flying. The stores are already selling Halloween decorations and I am sure Christmas decorat...

Dick I have a 1975 FBC with 454 Mercs that were made in 74. My filters are located opposite the starter up high on the block but parrallel to the hull. The receptor for the spin on filter on mine is metal. Sounds like yours might have been relocated. Check the block on the starboard engine above and...

Its been 10 years but my wife and I fished on the Sundowner a 35 Bert out of Kona, before they became really famous. I have to say that they were pretty good back then. Tony Meola

I would assume that like the Yanmars and Cummins at 300hp, you would need to up the shaft diamater, or are the Steyr's differant for some reason? Tony Meola

David You may want to talk with Richard Kidd down Richard Bertram. I was talking with him and he plans on having a fiberglass tank, 100% ethanol proof ready in 6 to 8 weeks. He already has one for the 28 and the 31 is next. He said it is being built by the same company that builds them for Bertram Y...

I purchased reelx from them last year. I actually used it to oil the motor for the blower on my furnace. I could actually hear the blower motor speed up after I used it. Tony Meola

Mike Make sure the noise isn't from a loose prop. About 7 years ago mine did basically the same thing. I am in NJ, and we pulled out the transmission and had it rebuilt by Mack Boring. That was about $1200 back then. I got lucky, mine quit at the in September so we just pulled the boat and left it o...
