Yeah I don't think you need a second steering ram. My boat came from the factory with single ram Latham steering & a few years after I bought the boat I called Latham to ask them about parts to add a...
Our 2002 started doing something similar and was getting really hard to shift into gear, forward and reverse. My suggestion would be to buy the Mercruiser Bravo shift adjustment tool and adjust the...
If it's the drive yeller posted it'll have a very large/long skeg. Those drives were coming out around the time Donzi was wrapping up in Sarasota and were being used on the new ZR's. This was also...
The hatch on the 18C with the big blister hump looks pretty dang ugly. I can't believe they'd send something like that out on the market. There has to be a better way to give the motor some space.
We also run a Mirage + 25P (lab finished) prop. We have a fairly heavy 22C with a 500EFI and primarily boat on Powell at 3600'-3700' elevation. We bump 75-MPH at around 5000 RPM I believe. I like the...
A friend of mine sank his 18C on our local fresh water lake, actually got swamped on the beach & went under water. It was under water for probably 12-14 hours before it was recovered and towed back...
I feel your pain. The tongue jack on our trailer broke several years ago, nut came loose from the screw. I thought I'd fixed it and we took off for the lake heading down the freeway. A few miles into...
Yeah, I was wondering about that, if it was just for break-in. :)
Looks good & nice to see you back. I'd consider getting rid of the Pennzoil though for something like Valvoline Racing straight 40W. Just my preference.
Plus, is that a Rochester 4-Jet carb?
I think we may be coming with my Dad's 33. He's going up this week to check out the ramp and facilities. If he feels comfortable my son and I will probably try to get some plane tickets out and fly...
Well I guess I should come here more often. I just saw this thread and this is certainly an interesting development. My Dad lives on Milton Lake just down water from Norris with his 33. I'm checking...
I have a post buried in here somewhere for when I replaced my windshield. I used Makrolon AR (Abrasion Resistant) Gray 130 polycarbonate for my replacement material. One thing you need to be careful...
Is 89 the all plexi windshield or does it have the stainless frame?
Is your diamond plate the plastic version?
Glen, can't one of us buy it down here and send it to you? Do you still have to pay all the tax? I have competition accounts with Summit and Jegs that also give some discounts. Send me a part number....
I don't recall exactly when they started using paint colors instead of gel but it was probably around 2005-2006.
Humm.... The 502 could go in my Camaro.
Yeah most of my observations are from the 8.1L in my truck. It does an amazing job of pulling up a hill with a heavy load at 3,200 RPM vs my friends 6.0L's that need +4K RPM's to do the same.

This will be interesting to see how it compares to a BBC. These are great motors but one of the things that I've never liked is that you have to rev them up pretty high to get into good power. This...
My thoughts also. I need one of those for my wagon.
This is gonna be awesome!
Yeller, stop spending money and get the dang boat back on the water. :yes:
I stumbled across this ad today. I didn't even know there was an 18 in town. Seems like a descent boat for the price.

Carl, that's the same set-up & placement, K-planes & steering, I have on my boat from the factory. It's single ram Latham, everything clears and works just fine.
