Did you check to see that the transmission cooler on the water intake hose isn't blocked with some weeds or debris?

I just wanted to tell a story to the Moomba community. Many months ago I had listed a dry suit here and Yearound wanted it. I didn't want to deal with Paypal so I just sent it out to him and told...

I still check in here once in a while. I might be selling the boat soon though. We are in the process of having a garage/barn built mostly because I hate shoveling the car out but partly because...

Hey Plum. It sounds to me like you are describing the disconnect for draining the exhaust manifolds? Those look to me suspiciously like the parts supplied with a Prestone Flush and Fill kit you can...

Thanks for the pricing help guys. I know it is going to be tough to sell a boat this time of year and I'm not yet sure I need to. 13K would be great resale. Either I got a really sweet deal or the...

So I'm thinking of selling my 2000 OB LS for a couple of reasons. The first is that we are in the process of building a new garage and the boat might not quite fit (long story). The other is I...

You might check you pump impeller. My 2000 Outback fuel injection system shuts the motor to "limp home" power when it senses an overheating condition.

I went through this with my insurance agent. They wanted $600 (5 years ago). When they hear 325HP they assume it is a go fast boat. I ended up joining the AWSA and they had an arrangement with...

I think if you go to www.skidim.com they only list one impeller for GM based Indmar engines. That is where I get mine very year.

I would definitely recommend the inboards over any I/O. Just remember that DD or V drives are not good at reversing with any sort of precision control which makes docking pretty intimidating until...

I am jealous of all the hours people are putting on. I have had my boat for 6 years and it is just reaching 190 hours. I think it is time to move to a warmer climate and live on the lake. I am...

The first year I used a Master heat gun from work and it took forever. The next year I used a propane powered ice melting gun from Northern Tool. It worked great but you need to really keep some...

I used to shrink wrap it myself but the local Mastercraft dealer came to my house and did the whole thing for 225 bucks including building the frame and putting in a zippered window. He also showed...

My insurance company quoted over 600 bucks because it was 325 hp 5 years ago when I bought the boat. I just got my SkiSafe renewal bill and it is $293. I think that reflects a bit of a discount...

I would say that efficiency isn't the same as speed. I always tell people that these are high performance trucks rather then sports cars. They are made to yank you and 3 buddies out of the water...

There are lots of reasons why. With an I/O or outboard, there needs to be some sort of gear train under water which results in a big fat casting creating a lot of drag and big wakes. Gears are also...

I forgot to tell you to warm the engine up first to get the thermostat open.

After draining the block I just disconnect the intake hose right before the impeller inlet. I bought some clear tubing at Home Depot about 3 feet long and connect that to the inlet with a hose clamp...

If you go with the Monster tower, it folds flat so you don't need new canvas. If I just fold mine down onto the back seat and then fold the front legs to the middle , it does a great job holding the...

It sounds like the classic medallion controller problem. Search around on this board for MDC 1600.

Maybe some debris has been sucked up into the transmission cooler and is blocking the line?

I would be happy to take a picture of of the connector for you but I won't be getting up to the lake until this weekend.

Gator Grip is great Stripping the old material off was tough but worth the trouble. The Gator Grip cuts easily with a X=Acto blade if you do it with one smooth motion. If you can use one of those...

I don't think changing the one for the gauge is going to help with your starting problems.

In NH, it is illegal to power load your boat onto the trailer. Evidently it wqshes away stuff and reshapes the ramp into a berm that cause these sorts of problems.
