My boat did not come with a CO detector so I had one installed this summer. I purchased mine from West Marine for $79 (if I remember correctly). You need a marine unit because home units are not...

Hi Jobie. I think most 2700scr's with the 7.4 engine came with a Bravo III leg. If you don't have a drive at present, I would suggest going with the B III. It will give you better handling at low...

Look on the bright side. Nothing beats messing around on boats even if you are working on them. Having said that, waxing a boat especially a dark hulled but isn't a lot of fun. That's why I always...

Reading the posts, I wonder if the boat might be too far forward on the trailer. Iceman might want to check the tongue weight of the boat and trailer before adjusting the length of the bunks.
