Re: Engine dies when transmission engaged.

Rope around prop ,has happened to me twice. Keep a special rope cutting knife on board and a harness I made to tie me to the boat. I was in a strong current once and had to tie a rope around my waist.

paint

Getting quotes to paint my topside. One marina suggested for aluminum to use flat white.

Re: Bridge clearance requirements for 32 FB

My 32 ft express flybridge with canopy needs 16 ft
Look for a marina that doesn't have a bunch of old run down boats that may have voltage leaking into the water

Re: No fuel

All fittings need To be tight so it can't suck air. Check the rubber gasket in the top of water separator. You can put a vacuum gauge on fuel pump line to see if pump is sucking. Good luck.

Re: Propeller purchasing - comments on...

Bill, thanks for the info. Question, I wonder if my "M" has the correct props. It is in the water. Are the numbers stamped in the props.
I can dive on them when the water gets warmer. It would be nice to know if I have the right ones.

Re: Exhaust hose advice

John, I've replaced sections from engine to mufflers and it was hard to get off and tight to put on. Had to cut off with sawsall. If your exhaust is below waterline you might flood the boat when you replace the last piece .
