    my oil looks like a milkshake :(

    Inflatable boat specialists in oxnard. they wanted more but i walked in with 11k in cash inside a jersey mikes sandwich bag and then when they said they couldn't go that low i walked out the door. I got a call a few hours later and they had come down enough that i could deal with them. And...

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/9Qja2wq1C8nhGmdT6 I went brand new. 11,800 OTD. Now i'm not sure what do do about the permatrims; mount on the new one or remove off the old one? removing is easier...

    Horn does not work.

    I'd have to run it all the way back to the radar arch otherwise it would interfere with kayaks and dingys. I think i'll replace the cheapo original one with some junk from autozone to maintain my legal compliance. I still have a PA that i can scream over...

    Horn does not work.

    my horn is on the way out too. I'm curious about a good replacement. What the boat came with is so quiet it's useless even when it did work. I just have no idea how i'd mount a horn under the visor.

    Size of a boat shed for a tomcat 255

    i've been thinking about converting my garage into another bedroom and adding on a monster garage for the boat. My wife thinks i'm crazy... I'm not sure i'd even be able to get the thing inside with how narrow my street is.

    my oil looks like a milkshake :(

    So i've been talking with a dealer in Fresno CA who has a 2006 BF 150. It has under 200hrs and claims to have never been run in saltwater. I asked the guy to send me the alarm history but says that the he already cleared it and that all it had was a couple of high temp alerts. This dealer has...

    No More Paper Charts

    Somewhat long overdue in my opinion. In my career i always found plotting positions on a chart to be a waste of time with an ECDIS and radar with map overlay in front of me. A position fix on a paper chart is old info by the time it's plotted. I'm interested in where I am and where i'm going...

    John, I was planning on plugging the engine in to the existing gauges. My network is NMEA 0183; still possible to buy and mfd and view this data?

    my oil looks like a milkshake :(

    My engines are way past warranty being 07s. I wouldn't rebuild my block. I'd be looking to purchase, what i believe is refered to as, a long block.

    my oil looks like a milkshake :(

    Hi all. 875 bucks latter i am 100% sure the engine is in really bad shape lol. :cry: Scorn cylinders, rust on lots of stuff and the #4 piston has chips missing from the edges. It would take lots of machining to get this back running. I had another mechanic look at it as the heads were off...

    my oil looks like a milkshake :(

    right now i am doubting my mechanic. He has a questionable reputation but is the honda rep in the area. I never got an overheat alarm, just the occasionally alarm for kelp on the intakes, which was cleared. occasionally that would result in a safety shutdown. Could that have been bad enough...

    my oil looks like a milkshake :(

    Hi Bob, I'm leaning towards getting a used engine and putting my lower unit on it to keep rotation. That's all I have to do right? I'm really confused how the engine got this way. The mechanic says it was significantly overheated over long periods of time.

    my oil looks like a milkshake :(

    Well, I got the worst news; my headgasket wasn't the issue. The issue was the engine had overheated repetitively. I don't understand this as i rarely get overheat alarms. Every now and then kelp will fowl the intakes but you just backdown and it comes off. Anyways, my port engine is toast...

    my oil looks like a milkshake :(

    Head gasket would be the best case scenario at this point. While attempting to get boresights of the cylinder walls a mirror on the endoscope broke off and is in the #4 cylinder...eh, the heads are coming off anyways. I was hoping to get a look at the cylinder walls and see how they looked.
