One on Ebay right now for $419, I would prefer the 5000 BTU main hatch way, plus they are $79 at WallMart. Reserve power, kinda like having an A/C hotrod.

My surge brakes acted the same way, on level it would back up as long as you didnt start quick, however I could not back up the slightest grade. I used a meter and found the bad connection for the electronic lockout relay. Until I found the problem I had a little "key" that I could put in ...

Rudders and a little dagger board help a lot. I have a somewhat narrow channel I have to go thru from my la...

I believe its the number of poles on the alternator, that information for your motor should be in the owners manual or probably on the net.

He was arranging water jugs in his boat, I use to sail the lake first with my Flying Junior and later on with a 16 ft Luger day sailor. He said he was planning on crossing the atlantic in that boat.
