How do you blow the lines out? Once you remove the bag do you just hook up a shop vac or such??

I know many of you are in warmer climates and winterizing is not even on your radar yet but here in New England the leaves are already turning, so.... Does anyone have some pointers on winterizing...

Well, you got 12 more months out of your cover than I did before mine ripped. Not very happy with the construction. I think the fact that my Outback has a tower doesn't help the issue. I am...

I do trailer the boat occassionally with the cover on it. Not at excessive speed though. I know that puts more stress on the points where the straps are secured, but that's the point of the straps,...

Yes, it is canvas, and seems pretty heavy. It has been fairly waterproof, but again, the large gaping holes at the tower mounts let lots of rain water in.

Anyone else out there had issues with their boat covers? Mine is less than a year old and already had one of the tie down straps rip off where it is sewn into the cover. The other straps have some...

Thanks all, I'll give keep this info for next winter, sounds simple enough.

Anyone know how to winterize the ballast system in an 06 Outback, I'm paying $90.00 by my dealership to have that done and can't believe it's that difficult. It's a one bag rear ballast system. ...

My Moomba package came with a trailer lockout pin which prevents the piston from compressing and activating the brakes. You could contact your dealer or boatmate to get one.

Just got a mailing from Indmar that mentions changing the transmission fluid after the first 20 hours of operation on new boats. I didn't see that in the Moomba handbook, only to change oil and...

I have an 06 Outback and have the exact same issue. The lowest point of the bilge pump is still about an inch above the floor of the boat.

We have had a couple of 'wash overs', the first one was...

The LS has got to have a smaller wake. With all that weight in the back of the V is would have to throw more wake. If you are looking to ski versus wakeboard the LS is the way to go, especially if...

I'll give you my 2 cents since I just bought an 06 Outback this season, carbed engine. If I had it to do again I would have sprung for the EFI.
It's a great boat but the carbed engines can be...

I know that many people claim that high octane gas is a waste of money, but boats are different deals than cars. My Outback manual calls for minimum 89 octane but I've been using 91, and always...

My guy made some 'adjustments' and now it runs like a dream.
Thanks for all for the feedback.

Wally,

Now you've gone and done it. The cretins at the insurance companies would have never thought about this one, now you've let the kitty out of the blender. Sure enough it will start to show...

Just do what we did, have 5 kids. We make them all come in the boat when it's time to board. Spread 'em out all over the boat and have them invite some of thier friends! Works great. One big...

I think the main issue is that most of the folks who invade our pristine waters don't realize what affect they have on the others around them.

The best course of action is to slowly cruise up to...

My 06 Outback doesn't have a clock in it. Does anyone know if Moomba/SC makes one you can plug into a spare guage port?
I picked up a cheapo digital jobbie at The 'Mart but frankly it looks like...

My 2006 Outback has the same issue. I thought it was just my cover having been cut incorrectly but during my last visit to my dealer I noticed the covers on the other Outbacks had the same gap right...

UPDATE: My guy checked out the boat and says basically that the fuel mixture was a little rich, other than that everything checked out. He even gave Indmar a call to make sure he didn't miss...

Aside from physcially emptying the ballast bag, does the ballast system need to have water purged from it for winterization?
Is simply running the fill pump to blow air out of the hoses enough?
...

If your boat is doing this same thing time after time it may be that the angle of the boat on the trailer is making the gauge float sit at a postion where it reads empty. Once in the water it may...

A couple of clarifications:
1- This is not an EFI engine, carurated.
2-Just went to higher octane fuel, so far no difference.
3- Don't think it's fuel in the gas, when it's running it runs pretty...

What ever product you decide to use on your seats I would recommend trying it out in an inconspicuous spot first in case it causes discoloration or some other issue.
