#1. Glassdave took care of it last fall, I can now look at my bow without seeing a shadowy image, so now "stereo" moves to top of the list.
#2. I'd like my interior finished after its 3 month stay at the upholsterer.
#3. I'd like an impeller that lasts for years. Perhaps made of sheep parts. Hundreds of Scottish shepherds agree, that stuff lasts forever.

* Have it sold
* Someone Buy it
* No longer be mine


lol....j/k kind of. There is zero problems with my boat and all work or issues have been fixed or taken care of. So other than it needing a new home or me taking it out a few more times before it goes away, there is nothing that needs to be done.

By solved I'm assuming it's a repair I have yet to diagnose and fix.

1. Correct the hard starting on these 454's using Weber carbs without going to another brand carb.
2. Replace bad port engine oil temp. gage, sensor is good. Tried for two seasons and cannot get to terminals to remove wires from gage and gage from panel. Need a second elbow in arm I guess.
3. Reconfigure trailer winch bracket. I know not boat but without trailer I have no boat.

1. Find new Stainless Marine exhaust systems for good price for both engines.

1. Find out why the shifters are very hard to operate on both drives.

3. Find electrical gremlin that causes drives to "stick" when buttons pressed intermittently.

Your 1a, I will call it because you have 2 number 1's, is more than likely your detent balls in the out drives. Very simple to fix, pull the back plate off your out drives and clean and grease. They get corroded over time causing hard shifting.

Need stronger drives. Going to be running 600hp through my Bravo ones this summer after fresh builds, and am afraid I'm going to have issues....
