Thank you for the suggestions. I have been trying to scrape out some of the remaining sensor with one of those metal picks that dentists use. It seems that every day I get a little more out. I think I will try the dremel in a few weeks if I don't get any additional stuff out.

I posted on the Hull Truth about my 2002 Suzuki DF50 and the extremely annoying beep every 5 seconds. I assume there are quite a few DF50 owners here who may have experienced the same. https://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/1291574-exhaust-manifold-temp-sensor-broke-off-can-i-use-threading-tool-...

Hi Wyb2, I agree; I searched for "using a 4-stroke on a 2-stroke bracket," but that didn't result in much. I will also order the Five Oceans and see how sturdy it is. I took some pictures of the transom to show the curve: https://i.postimg.cc/qNMT3bxX/96-FF4-F35-CEBE-4-ADF-960-F-FBAD68-A8-...

Hi NiceAft, very interesting, the no-holes solution! I did something similar, I made a mount inside the swim ladder. First, I put a 55 lbs eclectic motor on it, which hardly pushed the boat forward. Then upgraded to an 86 lbs Newport with 2x12v=24v batteries. This was fine until last weekend when we...

Our 2002 Suzuki 50hp outboard is having some issues. I got a great deal on a long-shaft 6hp Suzuki 4-stroke outboard, so I ordered the Panther 550407AL / 55-0407AL. It turns out that the mounting plate is 8” wide, and the transom on the 26X starts to curve at around 6”. I already prepared a ½” thick...

I am also interested in how the VATB-5925 works for you.
The Bow Eye to Transom Maximum is listed as 23ft.
Did you have to move the axles for better balance?

Thank you very much. The pictures are very informative. I decided to have a professional transport my boat on his trailer. That way I feel much safer and have all summer to decide what to do with the old trailer. I just tried to call LoadRite but they refer to dealers. Is there a consensus on which ...

Thanks! I was planning to call Load Rite tomorrow. The one I was looking at sold today for $3k. So the guy bought it for around $4.5k. $1.5k depreciation in 6 years is $250 per year. I would buy a new one if I can find it. OverEasy, thanks for all the input. Dealers in Long Island NY I am looking! T...

Hi OverEasy, Thank you so much for the information provided. I agree that I should not rely on my rusted trailer. I have found the following. Another person posted this measurement: Bow eye to transom = 23.5'. Looking at the LoadRite specs http://www.loadrite.com/spec-sheet-generation/?sheet_id=2854...

Hi all, I am a new owner of a 2002 MacGregor 26x. The trailer has new tires but is quite rusty after all these years. I would need to trailer about 40 miles to get to my slip. There is someone who has a used Load Rite 5S-AC25T6000102LTB1 for sale. I am afraid the trailer is a bit short. Another opti...
