    Dacromet Kodiak Disk Brakes????

    In Pensacola it is impossible to get a parking space for trailer after 6am on weekends. I try to limit fishing to weekdays as well. Thanks!!!

    Dacromet Kodiak Disk Brakes????

    Does this finish hold up in saltwater usage, if rinsed after usage? Another boater recommended SS caliper with hardware and rotor both having the dacromet finish. This combination is about 1/2 cost of all SS parts.

    Replacing Bravo 1 lower shift cable

    Thanks, trying to access transom assembly inside is difficult at best. What is the best clamp for shift bellows. Manual shows metal clamps which might work in fresh water, but here in Florida it would probably rust through in one season. One person suggested nylon ratchet clamps. If you agree...

    Bravo 1 Question?

    I suspected that but I wanted another opinion. So, for Bravo 1 (no XR that I can tell) right or left hand shaft rotation is determined by swapping shift cable locations???

    MC TB5 Throttle/neutral issues

    Thanks, I suspected that from my memory. I couldn't see any cable bind yesterday, so I guess I will have to check OD fluid and than remove OD to examine. I suspect since cable will move OD to neutral and forward, shift cable end is in claw correctly. Getting old sucks.

    MC TB5 Throttle/neutral issues

    More Bravo issues! We disconnected cable going to OD (process of elimination) from shifter complex and notice I could manually force the OD into neutral or forward but we cannot get it to go into reverse. We reinstalled motors about 5 years ago after I rebuilt transom. Unfortunately health...

    MC TB5 Throttle/neutral issues

    Thanks, but what could be restricting it??? I pulled the plastic cap off last year and lubricated it all. Then, I noticed that I couldn't depress button. I had health issues for 5 years and am now being able to work on getting boat ready for 2026. Thx

    MC TB5 Throttle/neutral issues

    I have duel MC/Bravos that each has a neutral button that when pressed in forces the motor/OD into neutral so that I can advance the throttle w/o being in gear. I cannot press in or move one of the drives' button. The other one works fine. Since we had previously disconnected the OD's shifter...

    engine mounted raw water pump with alpha drive

    Pully or crank pump? My boat's closed cooled MC was not run in a couple of years and the crank pump's water in its line evaporated. Hence the impeller was dry. When I did crank it, the dry pump impeller disintegrated. Water could not make it way up into heat exchanger via muffs. I learned to...
