Thanks for all the advice! I plan to print this out and bring it to the boat Saturday to debug. I know the Zerks need to be PM'ed. I'm thinking that is the majority of my issue but will check hoses and seals. As for SB listing, I have not moved my batteries but that may be a good winter...

Thanks Brent - the hoses looked pretty good but I'll add that to the list Bob - What zero fitting lube are you using?

Bob, Thanks!!! When I add fluid, I pour fluid until it fills up the reservoir and overflows. I turn the wheel and it pulls in a little of the overflowed fluid into the reservoir. It typically takes about a teaspoon or less. I put a high powered flashlight on it and looked from the back...

Hi, I have noticed that my Sea Star hydraulic steering is starting to act different and want to ask the board for suggestions. It seems to take more force to turn to port than starboard. I had always assumed this was due to the boat listing slightly to starboard (2006s are not well balanced...

Hi there, I'm planning an oil change on my 2006 DF140 and had some questions about the low pressure fuel filter. At Browns Point, the replacement is blue and my filter is clear with a black top. Should I be concerned that this is not the right filter? http://www.brownspoint.com/store/pc/vie...

Hi, I recently broke off my port side sliding window latch...and of course it went flying into the water as was gone! My boat is a 2006 Tomcat and this latch has S/G on the outside and is about 3" long. Anyone know where I can get a replacement? I called C-Dory and left a message.

Thanks for the feedback. I ended up doing it cold. Feels great to have changed gear oil, engine oil, oil filter, and fuel filters. Ready for another 100 hours!

Hi there, I'm planning to change oil in my twins DF140s this afternoon and having a bit of a debate with my buddies. We hauled the boat out last weekend and its been on the trailer with the engines verticle. Should I start the engines to reduce viscosity prior to draining or just drain it...

Thanks - since I have a small scrap on the keel, will the Marine Tex Marine Tex Rapid Set by the right product? http://www.amazon.com/Marine-Tex-Rapid- ... +tex+black There is a putty but I'm thinking that is for larger structural damage repair.

Thanks! its the very bottom of the keel so it should be pretty easy to repair.

Hi there, I pulled out my tomcat and banged my hull against the trailer causing a 1/4" deep scrap. I'm looking for advice on how best to repair. I have ablative bottom paint. Thanks in advance.

Yes - I mean the scupper. It seems very stiff.

Hi, I have a 2006 Tomcat and I've noticed that the starboard fish box fills up with water; port side is totally dry. I know this particular boat leans a bit to starboard but I have balanced the cargo so it's not even noticeable. It seems the valve just above the water line isn't preventing...

breausaw - interesting you say that. My port engine has had some minor issue with trim/tilt. It made a chattering noise a few times when going down. It literally went away after a few times. I was planning to check the fluid level on the next pull out. Also - the film on the water was...

Thanks for the reply. Do you think I should pull it out and replace the plugs (along with oil change) or just keep an eye on it? I have another 45 hours until service is due.

Hi there, Its been a few week since I was at my boat so I drove out today to check on it and run the engines. I store the boat in a berth with the engines all the way up. When I lowered the engines, I notices a very light film on the water near the port engine; nothing on starboard. I...
