How old are the shaft? You may want them magnafluxed. I had two cracked shaft (3 1/2” AQ22HS) two years ago (one sent the prop 23’ to the...
Sea foam is usually close enough to most gelcoats I ve used a lot of starboard over the years incl jet ski chocks, small shelves etc. good stuff...
No zero speed. I was going to zoom the ER cam on the gauge on the next run.
Got a low pressure error (twice) on our Trac stabs, after slowing down to idle speed. They work fine above idle. Fluid level is good....
Get a good prop shop to run calculations and determine the safety factor. Shaft material vary and as Dockmaster just mention you may need to...
Bilge pumps are a pet peeve of mine and I never understand why pretty much every builder skimps on pumping capacity. I put 3 rule 2000 on my...
