Re: what to consider instead ?

If i was replacing my Maxum tomorrow with a boat of similar spec, I'd choose the Bayliner.

Bayliner has been getting better and better recently and I genuinely don't believe you'd tell the...

Re: Brunswick in trouble

I still stand by it... They are following what they need to do in order to stay on top. Drastically reduced output and profits for sure, but they'll bounce back. They've been through many recessions...

Re: 1800mx: wakeboarding tower recommendations, deck thickness

Re: 2000 maxum 2800scr convert drive to v drive

Holy Smoke... Erm, what a question.

Yes, plausible that you could do it. but the cost would be massive and you'd not know if it handled/worked any better until you'd done it... which would be too...

Re: First time out issues- alarm,start up, acceleration

1. Sounds like a wiring issue. IT should sound for a few seconds then turn off, regardless of how long you have the key on for.

2. An MPI engine should be turn key start. but if you depress the...

Re: JBL MR-6 Sound System

There are transit screws in the unit, but it wouldn't have easily gone in without them being removed - it is of course possible that the person who fitted it was a muppet though :lol:

Re: 2005 Maxum 1800 SR3: Electrical problem?

Something is shorting if the breakers going. The starter would be my first hunch as its new and may be faulty (worked for a few starts then failed)... This will be something you will need a dealer to...

Re: Maxum 1800MX blower motor & stereo

Yeah, if the dealer is just changing fuses, and over fusing things then they have no clue what they are doing; and are creating a possibly dangerous situation - Can anyone even confirm if the wiring...

Re: 2006 1800 SR3 Swim Platform

Re: 2006 1800 SR3 Swim Platform

If the boats hitting 50mph then its propped too high - you're almost defintely running a 23" pitch prop.. or higher... which makes it no surprise that it won't plane easily.

Looks like I may need...

Re: 2006 1800 SR3 Swim Platform

I can absolutely confirm that your diagnosis is wrong....

To prove it, I suggest you unscrew the platform and do some tests (versus with it) - you'll be surprised.
