Those look really good. 3000K is a good color. How true was that? How close was the color of the light compared to the stock halogen. I like the warm light over cool white.

Mine leans to the right or left, depending if the water tank or waste tank is full. It is ususally one or the other. Water on port side, waste on starboard on my '98.

I would not connect it if it is in salt water. I believe most water heaters have aluminum internals and would not last long with salt water. Otherwise, use this as a reason to install a fresh water...

I would just put some extra waterproof grease on the shaft splines and threads. Less chance you will have to clean any growth off of it.

No problem with hitting the pulpit. I even left the anchor on. The ramp was not very steep and I did have to power the boat on the trailer.

Finally got my trailer. I ended up with a new aluminum tri-axle rated for 10,500lbs. The boat fit perfect. Towed it about 100 miles with no issue. My Excursion never looked so small.

Pull your plugs and make sure they are a nice chocolate brown. If black, you may be rich. Your buning 44 GPH? That makes me feel better about my gas hog. I am burning about 20+ GPH on my 27' 5.7L...

File attachement size.

It would be great if we could post larger than 19.5k attachments. I wanted to post a 103k .pdf that I thought was pretty small. This did force me to find the source and post a link saving space.
