Greetings all,



New member here looking for some knowledge on Marquis models 55LS and 59. I’ve tried search the web for Marquis forum, but everything is pointed to here. Thus, if I’m in the wrong area, I’d appreciate some directions.



My basic questions are related to the hull construction of the boats. Are they cored or solid glass or combination? In regards to performance, what power plant would be ideal? I’ve seen two different packages, Volvos D12s vs. Series 60 MTU. Can anyone share their exper ...

1995 crusader 454XL TBI spark timing. Not sure if it is in initial timing mode or run mode? Can anyone tell me what plug is correct for run. Will not rev over 3000 rpm.

My wife and I are in the final count the down (22 months) until full retirement. While we live in Nebraska, we already have our retirement home all set and waiting in Viera FL (about 15 miles south of Cape Canaveral, on the ICW). We 'practice' being retired down there for 7-10 days every other month or so.



Part of our plan is to have a 35-45 ft cruiser for ICW and eventually (after building up the skills) Caribbean island hopping. We've developed this 'thought' list after reading a lot of mate ...

1991 era Kohler 6.5. Cranks easily, runs smoothly for about 40 minutes under load, then dies. Will re-crank immediately and run for about 10-12 minutes, then shuts down. good waterflow, good oil level. any ideas? thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone

I am new to this Forum

I am trying to upgrade the carpeting on my 444 Carver 2004 so I have a 2 part question

On the out side carpeting I am looking for something that is different and easily washable any suggestions of a website I can visit?

For the interior carpeting I am getting crazy quotes for labour only, like 80 hours of labour to remove in install. Is it that hard of a job? Can anyone please lead me down a path that would make sense.

Thanks

Warren

Any of you who frequent the south eastern area of Georgian Bay will be familiar with this channel. We shot this on our last trip out and I though it would be nice to share it. This is typical of where we boat an absolute masterpiece by mother nature.

The STBD engine stalls out usually when warming up. No error codes show up, I had Cummins replace the engine management unit just in case. Problem was ...
