Re: Virginia Beach Boat Ramps

Re: Dry start damage?

Well I put it all back together today and all is well. I replaced the impeller and the housing. When I run the engine on a hose I can hear a slight squeeking sound. It almost sounds like a belt...

Re: I need to add a couple ounces of gear lube, can I do it from the top vent?

As long as you know how much you lost and the reason you lost it there is no reason you can't fill it up from the top. NEVER EVER fill an empty one up from the top. Just topping it off is fine. I...

Re: DIESEL vs GAS?

Re: Tar on Non-skid

Thanks for the replies. I have a bottle of Acetone so I guess I will start with that. I have used it to remove wax so I know it doesn't harm my fiberglass. Thanks again for the replies!!!

Re: Tar on non-skid

Thanks. I will give that a try tomorrow. I think if I apply it to a rag then was it off as soon as I am done with lots of water it should be ok.
