god this sucks i just found out the boat we just bought 76 century high pressure hydralic lines to lift the motor just busted but that wouldnt be a problem unless we cant get to the end of it to change which we cant so we have to stick it in the local boat shot and they have to take out the hole outboard and just change a little hose and they wont beable to work on it till like around the 4th and we wont be able to pay for it until the 6th maybe not even then srry this is long but im sort of pissed and needed it to release its energy lol and the oil has water in it so if the block or the engin is cracked or somthin we got to put it up for sale but not sure yet so cant wait but it screams like someone is being murderd lol it has a 350 chevy 188hp so once we get it fixed ill be happy again yay

dude i feel your pain. the stator in my boat went out and it wasnt till i brought it to a shop to get it fixed. its still not fixed and it has already been like 3 weeks. im sure yours probably costs alot more than mine but it sucks when you just have to sit around NOT riding

lol yea we might have a blown head gasket too or a crack in the block and if we do then well have to put it up for sale which sucks because that sucker screams and puts out a better wake then my other boat wich is a tryhaul ahh... and the first time we took it out on the water we were sinking lol we didnt have a freeze plug in one of the holes but now we stop the leaks so that one problem down oh and with all the troubles ur haveing with ur boats an u post a pic of them or tell what model and year because i figured that most of the guys on here have really nice wakeboard boats thanks

yea we had a tryhaul that needed new starter that we fixed but the gears messed and the shop had to fix it but the shop has to fix the 76 century because we cant reach at the end of the high pressure oil line for the hydralics its like right infront of the outboard so they have to take the outboard out and then change it which sucks

soy escuala, n!gger rigging is the way to go. i dont think i've ever bought a fuse for my boat. tin foil works fine. and all my connections are just mangled piece of wire wrapped around what ever they need to be. i dont even know where my caling is.
