    Water Leak through gel coat repair

    I bought a 2017 AR190 two months ago that was is great condition with only 40 hours. I have been reading the forums for a while and have learned how to do just about everything from this forum.

It's about 8" wide, and extending a bit each time we open it. We plan to get a new Bimini next year, most likely. Trying...

    2001 Challenger 1800 Starter Replacement

    I have the Mercury M2 210HP motor. When they put it back in the water last week, the service manager at our marina said they had a hard time starting the motor. The starter would spin, but it would not pop up. He took the starter apart, cleaned it, and got it to work, but recommended that it...
