I have a 1999 350 GM 5.7 Mercruiser. My pump has a pin hole and a marine pump is around $500. After I recovered from shock I started looking at an automotive pump. They look the same except how the smaller hose clamps on but we can work with that. I can get a re-man pump for $60. Anyone know if...

Not sure if you guys remember but 3 yrs back I purchase a 241 Proline and sold my V20 to a neighbor down the street for $4,500. Well he did not use the boat very much and when he took it in to have some work done the guy said the motor was blown. Well he then sold the boat to a guy down the...

We left Suffolk Va. around 5 pm pulling the boat to Nags Head and seemed to be the only people on the road. When we made it to the ramp to our surprise there was a cop directing traffic and about 50 boats in tow. The cop got us in line and said it was moving pretty quick. Well he was right and...

The guy who I sold my V20 to had the starter go out at the end of last summer (probably because the lazy *** lets the boat sit in the water and slowly rot). Yes that right I sold the V to someone I know and the boat now looks like **** and I which I had sold it to someone else so I did not have...

Well I had told several friends who helped me build my garage that we would go out fishing. We headed out yesterday around 4:30 to fish the MMBT and when we arrived the tied was coming in but not very hard. We trolled around for a few hours with no luck and a tide that would not do anything...

We went out Monday night to the MMBT and started off trying to chunk for stripers with know luck and as the tied started ripping I decided to troll for a little while. We made it about 100 yards and had our first fish on I truned away from the bridge as I watched my buddy catch his first...

Well we went out to the CBBT Saturday and picked up a bunch od flounder but only brought home 6 with a 19 1/2", 21", 21", 19", 22" and my biggest at a little over 24". When coming back into Bennetts Creek I passed a very nice looking V20 with four guys heading out. I know we have a few members...

My 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee which has 145,000 will not shift out of first gear (automatic Trans). I check the fluid and it was not low, does not smell burnt, but it did have alot of air bubbles. I have not had any other issues with the trans and I'm hoping this might be a simple fix and need any...

I have a class III hitch that was on a 2004 Yukon XL which will probably fit a few other trucks. I'll sell for $75 or best offer plus shipping.

Well the new boat was running fine until I hit something a few weeks ago while coming home. At first all seemed fine just bent the prop but after having the prop done it ran just fine. The next week I went to start the boat and got this loud grinding noise from the lower unit. I was lucky and...

You guys always have a good on line source for stuff and have a stiff shift cable I need to replace. Its a Teleflex that I'm replacing but if you know of a better brand I'm all ears. Thanks for any link.

Well like I said in an earlier thread I have purchased a 1999 241 Pro Line but now I'm trying to find something to tow it with and I'm trying to figure out the boats weight with trailer. The manual says the boat weighs 3800 but that without the motor. It has a Mercruiser 350 IB/OB which I'm...

My club is holding its second Annual Chili Fest this up coming Saturday at Bennetts Creek Park. Its starts at noon and goes until 5:00pm with cold beer, hot chili, and good music. Bennetts Creek Sertoma raises money for local hearing impaired children to help them with cost they cannot afford...

Well as I stated in another thread I sold the V this weekend but I broke the neutral switch. I always had to bump the throttle foward some to get it to start so I wanted to adjust it before I put it up for sale. While trying to get it right it fell apart as the switch in the throttle control was...
