Im going to take some pics this weekend and share them. So you guys can get a better idea as i didnt have a camera and line of sight was horrible and i was also going of what the previous owner told me. I will take lots so of pics and we can see for sure whats going on. Im with you i love the boats....

Yeh cost me about $900 for the pair plus mounting hardware and includes $200 in shipping as i wanted it 2 day shipping so i can install everything and test it before the tune up on Wednesday, we plan to start the journey back on the following Monday. As for the stringers ill send some pics this week...

I'm just placing the order for two risers (CM-20-4142411) and mounting kits from MarineEngine.

this might be getting of topic but is there any different between Mallory and Sierra parts where this is concerned Mallory is cheaper but only by 5 bucks.

Also if I'm going to do 1 is it better to do them both on the same engine?

The newish looking one is on the other engine.

Agreed,

is there a place that still sells new risers ? One of the risers does look new but not the one that is corroded.

Hi, @oil&water: i checked the leak with a mechanic on the weekend while running and it looks like the water is coming from the drain plugs on the bottom of the riser. he mentioned the threads corrode over time, I will remove them and put teflon tape and plumbers dope on the plugs and retest. If ...

Hi guys, I took the covers of and around the rear deck on the weekend. Unfortunately i did not get any pics as my cell had died. Basically above the rear deck and around the scuppers things look good. However there is decay (the deck can be crushed by hand) on the rear facing edge and support of the...

Juat another note, I have read that the transmission noise may be due to a failed cylinder and the port engine does not idle as smoothly as the starboard, i will try to do a tune up on the port engine or both this weekend. Also the port engine water temperature is not working i figure its the sensor...

Garmin does not have a transducer that is through hull and that is also capable of 3D.

I have not tried mine from inside the hull and it would have to be facing forward. It's a good point though i might see if i can put it in a bag of water up in the front and see if i get anything out of it at all.

Hi guys,

Apologies for the late reply's.

I will take all the back covers of the boat tomorrow and send some pics.

HI, Here's a list of things I have found on a boat I bought last October. It is now back in the water and I have some questions. I have to sail the boat back to my local area (approx. 400 miles of lakes, rivers and locks) in two weeks. I need to figure out what I need to do and what can wait until I...

I will write a complete detailed process and post it here just in case any one else wants to try this.

I should add, that i explained the process for the gel coat prep and anti-fouling removal to the guys that distribute wet/dry 700 and they seemed to believe this would work but suggested i do a small test piece before i do the large 36" piece so i plan to use the cabled hooks for the test, appa...

@captainmaniac: I was planning on removing the anti-fouling prior to application of the plastic strip and epoxy using a dry wall sanding sponge (they do very well when wet and can sand evenly on pretty flat surfaces), On dry land at least they remove anti fouling well. Of course in the water might b...
