Where do you drive yours?

thx guys
What is your suggestion re solving the problem instead of fixing symptoms. Do you have a different water pickup in your boat?
I know its not brass but thoughts on this one?

Got it, I will do that. Thx again
My Bravo one seems to only have one water pickup which is one small hole on the front of the torpedo. Is that normal? Most seem to have dual water pickups from what I have seen
Anybody have recommendations for Merc service shops around the Englewood/ Boca Grande area??
Thanks guys,
I have to say I don't completely understand how the transom water pickup works. If my boat has the inlets on the front of the torpedo which is a foot or so in the water then how is the...
You are bang on. I know it wont cure the problem but I think I should get a sea strainer. I have been searching through tons of old posts and there is tons of great debate on which brand to go with...
So I did it again, Went out for a great ride today and lunch in Florida around Boca Grande. I literally touched a shallow spot for 10 seconds and bingo sand sucked in and my temp started rising so I...
Do you have any more info on this? I might try to go as well!
Thanks
Decided to just replace it. hopefully ready to hit the water later today!
Thanks for all your suggestions
Thanks I will check properly today. The levels looked fine but I didn't have time to check properly yesterday
So even though we had a great ride today we ran into a trim tab issue when we came into the marina. My tabs would not go "up" no matter what I tried. I switched battery off a few times but still I...
ok I am glad I am not on my own on this one. Seems like in Florida its a must. Not used to driving in water that's only 24 feet deep at the most. Usually I am running in 8-15ft. Today I wrapped in a...
Hey everyone, I have my 22ft classic down in Florida for the winter. Have had some great rides so far. Wondering anyone that carries an anchor what is the best place to keep it? Anybody come up with...
What is or was the rough pricing on a new 22?
Has anyone cut the aluminum pole a few inches to lower the seat? Good idea or bad idea?
Which waterway do you run it in? What if anything do you do for the salt water? I have the closed cooling system so I don't think I can do any flush out but I guess a good fresh water hose down of...
That would be great, I am looking to get exactly what you have described. How is it at speed? Where in Florida are you? I am hoping to bring mine down this winter!
Ok go easy on me here. Has anyone installed a bimini top on a 22ft classic? Looking for ways to extend boat time with kids on board.
Hey everyone,
I brought the boat down from Muskoka and launched at bluffers park. First time on the lake. Amazing views of the hunt club and Scarborough bluffs. Anyone run in this area with any...
Great advise re charts in Boca. Running a classic 22 red and white! Bummed I missed the muskoka get together.
