Re: Salt Water for the Weekend

Millions of boats run in salt every single day. When you get back into fresh water the engine will flush itself or you can flush it with a hose. Keep the boat wiped down during your trip and give it a real good bath when you get home. Enjoy your trip!

Re: Led drain plug

I installed a led drain plug light on my center console. It works great. No leaks. It adds just enough under water light for night fishing and idling around. It was cheap. Like $100 on amazon. However it doesnt compare to my friends lumitec under water lights. These were over $1000 tho. I say go for...

TOWELS.......are we seriously talking about towels?
Just buy some lemon scented simple green, medium bristled brush and a bucket. Wash down in boat and run the bilge. Allow to air dry. Wash and rinse front to back.

Re: 496mag HO “very sluggish power” ????

What year in the engine? There is a Merc bulletin in regards to cool fuel system. Look it up and read about it. Basically the paint from inside the module delaminates and clogs the fuel injectors. This happened to my Powerquest with a 2005 496 mag. I had the exact same symtoms.

Re: FINALLY I got up on the wave!

Great job......but your not surfing until you let go of the rope. Your being towed. Throw that thing in the back of the boat and give it a go. FYI the cobalt looks like it makes a nice wave. We surf on a Malibu axis t22
