I figured, but if you split those hairs then an oil change isn't really part of winterization either ;P

Thanks I'll try to find the access on the v drive or look in the manual for it.

Maybe this is a silly question but how come this isn't a part of the winterization thread?

How often do you change this and is it basically just an oil change from the v drive? Where's the drain? (I imagine it's in the manual but don't have it here at work).

Is that something I can do with some research or better to just bring it in somewhere? I don't really have a dealer nearby but could figure something out.

2 new batteries and it started like a champ. Guess a good tester/charger are on my list of things to get.

At least that's figured out before a nice weekend at the lake :)

Update - I'm in the driveway now looking at things.

I flipped the circuit breaker a few times to no effect. Tightened all battery connections, made sure everything I could see at least had a...

I definitely quadruple checked both the safety lanyard and being in neutral before I got in and started swimming :)

If we go on the assumption that I need a starter replacement does anyone know which one to get? I don't have a local dealer but I suppose I could call one and try to get it shipped if OEM is the...

Great stuff thanks for the help. Yeah after I started searching around I found out that not turning over wasn't going to be vapor lock. I wasn't really sure the PP was part of the problem, just...

One other thing I thought of was vapor lock since the only gas in our area is E10 but I don't really have any experience with it yet to know what the symptoms are (time for some googling). We had...

I got my 06 OBV (325 EFI) used in the fall and had it winterized right away but it was fine then. Batteries were taken out and on float chargers all winter. Saturday I did the fake a lake thing and...

Thanks guys. Finally got a chance to get out there today to put the batteries back in and give my Franken-lake a shot. It started right up and everything looks great, starting to get excited for...

For those using sta-bil in their fillups, are you keeping true to the 1 oz treats 1 1/4 gallons? Looks like ~$20-$30 for a 32 oz which is about one full tank of gas. Seems a bit of a premium on top...

Instead of the height problem, when you guys figure out how to make a 8.5' width trailer fit through a single 8' width door let me know :)

Just looking a quick sanity check. I got an 06 OBV last fall and had it winterized right away, and is my first boat and I'm more a computer guy than an engine guy so just making sure I don't do...

Is this swivel an after market thing (if so where?) and is the installation tough?

Yeah forgot to mention currently no heater or shower.

Well in addition to nobody wanting to share a pee'd in wetsuit, peeing in a heater shirt would be a little awkward :)

It's almost that time of year. I probably won't make it out until the water is warm enough for just a heater top (what is that like 65+?). Also, just about anybody I will get to take out will not...

mmandley do you know if you'll need to drill holes to support that bow strap install?

Anyone ever have this done at a dealer or another shop? I got my boat used so don't have a specific dealer, but called the only one that's near me and got a quote (on the order of $1k per side) that...

Diver, I'd love to see some of the manifold pics or any others.

Thanks

I got a used 06 OBV with the G1 system and will eventually be looking for a ballast upgrade. My main priority would just be some rear bags that I can fill/drain with a switch along with the center...

Thanks for the options guys, I'd never heard of most of those. Guess I have a little research to do.

I have some liquid audio speakers like the attached. Someone found a good reason to put some duct tape on them and when it came off it ripped off some of the paint. I'm wondering if there's a good...
