I may be in the Raleigh, NC area at the end of this month (8/27-28) and am debating whether to bring the boat along since I will have some free time. Any know of a good lake(s) around that area or within a reasonable drive? Or anybody wanting an excuse to get their boat out on the water and take...

I found a thread about the short vs. tall windshields and that included a comment about rolling the back edge somewhat. Since I'm getting to be an old, lazy guy, I step up onto the deck from the drivers seat and have cut both knees in two days - so now I'm pissed and tired of it. Does anyone...

Looking for the 12/24 volt Johnson / Evinrude style if anyone has one they'd like to part with. If it's not working, I may still be interested - let me know what you have and what you want for it. You can also email me at scott.walker@oberg.com. Thanks!

My water pressure gauge now stays at 12# and won't come back to zero - it did come up a pound or so with high idle but I'm guessing that's one pound not 13. I don't remember this problem last year and it's been in the garage all winter. Any ideas or should I just try to find another one? I have...

I came to Knoxville on business this week and brought my XB2003 with me to take one of my customers for a ride. While I was here, I decided to have a skid planer added to the boat and asked Nancy if they could fit me into their schedule on such short notice. I dropped it off Monday evening -...

Anybody have the three gallon in-boat oil tank they don't use? I really just need the red latch clip from the top but they changed them and now you have to buy the whole lid and possibly the hose assembly too. I need one for my XTB I'm selling and figured someone might have one from changing...

Looking for a late 90's XB2003 Pro Sport Tournament version without power. Not too worried about where cause I'll drive a long way but I want the front hatch, livewell pump and aerator - think I'd prefer a center steer with side slide but not critical. If anyone knows of one, please let me know...

Thinking of changing to a different Allison model so thought I'd post my current ride: 1989 XTB-21 - Light gray and dark blue colors Four blue and gray flip seats plus two butt seats 82# thrust 24V Motor Guide with built-in transducer (3 years old) Three Cabelas AGM batteries with ProSport...

For those of you who get the Bass Times publication, make sure you check out page 41 of the March 2008 edition. Mine just arrived and I caught Jimmy's photo while running through the pages. It's a nice reprint of an article Mercury did on him and I think it's great that he gets some recognition...

My son Ryan and I went fishing late in the afternoon last Friday hoping to catch a few bass in the river. When we got there, the water was a little choppy but fishable for where we were headed. After an hour of working the banks with no luck, he turns around and says, "Hey Dad, look how dark...

I have a 5" CMC hydraulic jackplate I took off my XTB and am looking to sell if anyone is interested. It's got the DCH2500 pump, works well and will handle up to 300 HP motors. I replaced it with a new JP to clear the tubing rope for my kids. Includes everything you need including the switch and...

My water pressure gauge didn't match the others so I put a new one in this past week. Now the pressure is showing much lower than the previous gauge did. My previous gauge used 1/8" OD nylotube for the feed and I swapped the fitting on the new gauge from the 1/4" barb fitting it came with and...

I am thinking about buying a new CMC JP and the Power Dial caught my eye. I've talked to Chris at CMC and he said they are slow sellers and I'm wondering if anyone here has one? Bill at Allison suggested using a Stainless Marine mechanical guage for the jackplate height since they seem to be...

Someone at the Rally last year told me they might know someone wanting to sell a shifter. I'm looking for the single straight pole type with the top button lockout that would mount on the side like my current Merc shifter. I'm not sure exactly what they're called but if you know, please let me...

I have a Moeller 24 gallon tank in my XTB and it appears to have only one fitting in the center top for the fuel outlet. I need to add a return line since I'm going to an EFI motor and was wondering how to add this line. My boat is currently in storage but I have a photo showing the fuel tank...

I'm pretty sure everything is Medallion gauges but the boat is in storage right now. Does anyone have an 8K tach they want to sell that will fit the current opening?

Does anyone else have an issue with the steering wheel being straight up and down at idle and low speed and then having to be turned almost 90 degrees ccw to keep the boat straight at higher (above 60 MPH) speeds? Do I need to adjust something, is it play in the cables or something you learn...

I did some searching and can't find any good info on how to check the timing onmy engine. I'm looking to make sure it's correct now since I cn't get the RPM's up above 5600 and may want to change it later. Can I use an automotive inductive light and how do I use and adjust the timing? Do I need...

Can anyone here give me a recomendation on a good guide service for the Lake Okeechobee area? I will be there on business later this month. Me and another guy from work would like to get in a day of fishing on 1/27/06 if possible but we want to keep it reasonably priced and fun. Anybody use a...
