Re: 3 alarm fire at Woodland Marina on the Mississippi

Last I had read they estimated around 140 boats lost. The office and rack storage building were completely destroyed, but didn't like any of the docks took too much damage

Re: 3 alarm fire at Woodland Marina on the Mississippi

Yeah very fortunate nobody died. It wasn't the best run operation over there so I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't insured properly. It's been going on for awhile now, my buddy who is a firefighter said they dispatched tanker trucks and foam trucks from all nearby counties, even some as far awa...

Re: Outdrive fin

Trim up just a little at a time after the boat is on plane. You will feel the bottom of the boat have less resistance with the water. Like BFun said, if the bow starts to bounce up and down trim down a bit. Also, if you hear and see the RPMs increase all of a sudden, you may be too high as well and ...

Re: Mercruiser 350 Mag acting up

First guess would be impeller or thermostat issue? Sand can clog things up, experienced it first hand on the river in our old four Winn's which also had a 350 mag. I've also had sand clog and burst a water line and smoke the water pump in the process.
