    Looking to buy a 1998 signature 270

    The market right now is keeping used boat prices healthy. New boat prices are ridiculous.

    Oil change

    I had that setup on first Chap I owned and loved it. That is definitely the route to go.

    Oil change

    Post i saw one time recommended that when pumping vs draining to always put in less than what capacity is and then add until full. To Doc's point above, I marked the tube with a piece of tape to make sure I always get to the bottom every time.

    Stereo Upgrade

    Ive got the Kenwood KMR-D772BT with a wired remote KCA-RC55MR. You can make a mounting plate with piece of acrylic to replace the old square Clarion remote (if thats what was in it).

    Hole in port side of 2024 chaparral 2024 SSI OB

    My sunesta has a pedestal cooler under the port side swivel chair. It's an odd place for a built in for sure and drain is close to water line. It does have a valve though. It was almost like "hey there is some extra space there let's put a cooler in" lol

    Bravo 3 Cone Clutch

    Wanting to know if anyone has performed lapping (removed glazing) on clutch and gear set to correct shift delays in a bravo 3? How long did it last? Or would you just go ahead and spend the 2k on parts and be done with it?

    Mercruiser Cone Clutch

    Friend of mine has a boat with 700 hrs on it and is having issues with delays going into fwd and reverse. From everything I have read, this means the cone clutchs are shined up and slick as he has already had the linkage adjusted. Has anyone lapped their clutches vs replacing? Ive seen...

    Deck drain, I have one on both sides of my 2007 Sunesta 254. Also has a shutoff valve as well. Bilge should be higher close to rub rail.

    2007 Sunesta 254 Anchor Hatch

    Yes it does, I will send a picture of the actual hatch this weekend since I have boat at home now. I thought about fiberglass repair but not sure how they would replicate the anti-skid on top or if it would be that much cheaper.

    2007 Sunesta 254 Anchor Hatch

    It is cracked all the way thru in the middle about 3/4 of the way across like illustrated below. Previous owner must have had it open up while towing boat or underway as it is on bow of boat.

    2007 Sunesta 254 Anchor Hatch

    If it was a flat hatch, that would be a very good option.
