  1. Got the boat back last week and ran it this past Saturday. It ran like it was brand new. Thanks Offshore Performance. If you ever have a Mercury issue in Ft. Myers, go see Gary Willet
  2. My 2006 275 Verado started leaking motor oil out of the lower unit next to the drain plug. (238 hours) The mechanic diagnosed it as an oil pump seal. I contacted Mercury who tells me that I’m 15 months out of warranty, they are not financially responsible and to have a nice day. I contact the Mechanic and ask him how much overtime and I’m going to work to pay for the costly repair. The mechanic makes a 5 minute call to Mercury, who agrees to cover the total cost, and tells the mechanic to replace the oil pump shaft while he’s at it. That’s customer service. Thanks Mercury and I owe the mechanic a case of his favorite brew.
  3. Kodiaks for me as well. I have had them for 4 years without a single issue
  4. You need to keep the two away from each other as the magnet will throw the gauges off. Before installing the compass, set it on your dash and watch the needle as you move the compass around. if the compass is far enough away from the gauges, then the needle will point north. Hope this is helpful.
  5. TIMEOUT, there is a problem Houston.....way to much water in the cooler. Do you know how much beer room you waisted.... lol
  6. "Raisingcanes" i'm a Miami Hurricane fan and I have four children. They are not alllowed to cheer for any other team but Miami.
  7. I have a Garmin 3010 with a thru hull that has been nothing short of great. Also have the Hummingbird Side Scan with a transom mount that has been so-so.
  8. Looks like a great boat for a fair price. One thing that caught my eye was the fact that the warranty expires today on the motors. Spending that kind of money, i would want sometype of extended warranty on the motors. Good luck.
  9. Thanks for the suggestions, i'll take the prop off and have it checked out. Thanks again.
  10. I ran over a rope this weekend at 1000rpms. I noticed it soon after i ran it over and put the engine in neutral. As I continued home, i felt a vibration in the motor, which is a 275 Verado. The prop looks good, my next guess is a bent shaft. Any suggestions? Thanks
