Nothing. Easiest way to keep a resolution is to not make them.

We just stick them in washer with tide sport and hang dry. Don't do anything special with them

@litljenarey - go donate some blood. They do an antibody test on every donation

Me, my wife and daughter all had it a few weeks ago. Wife seemed to have it first, but had 2 negative tests. Daughter and I both tested positive. Wife had a lot of coughing and some shortness of breath. 22 year old had what would normally be described as a mild cold for a few days mine was the same but lasted a week with one day that was worse than the rest. Pregnant daughter in-law had it a couple of months ago with no real difficulties, baby came out fine too.

Looks like in au, no cats https://cassellmarine.com.au/products/pcm-zr6-efi-409hp-centremount

Wow, what are the chances of that happening? Shouldn't there be a sock around the fuel pump, or does PCM still use a regular fuel filter?

Have you checked/cleaned your air filter?

We are having waffles and some ham. Thanksgiving postponed until next weekend when we are no longer in covid jail.

The trick is to stop buying automotive caps and get the ones with the brass contacts. Either Accel or there are some other brands - skidim sells some. The cap that came on my 2012 was a standard GM automotive cap (aluminum, not brass) that corroded like crazy. This problem is worse in V drives like mine where the distributor sits right under the pylon and has a steady drip of water hitting it. The Accel numbers for the HVS caps and rotors are 120141 - Cap (Replaces AC Delco D329A) 130141 - Rotor (Replaces AC Delco D465)

Looks like a standard hvs distributor. The aluminum indmar version is 500. The mercruiser versions can be had for about 120 https://www.ebay.com/i/324231005219?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

I don't know if a 1939 will fit a sport nautique or not, but the old stock ski prop on the VTX was the 537, and the newer improved one was the 1939. I've had both on my VTX and the 1939 is definitely the better prop on my boat. The 1939 creates a little taller looking wake in the middle but it is mush so aside from looking at it you would never know it was there. On my boat the 1939 tops out at around 47mph (Monsoon 350SS) on smooth water - previous owners had also used the boat for some barefooting off a pylon boom.

Curious if the campus expansion is all about growth or more about consolidation of manufacturing of their owned brands.

Just because the mfg are having a banner year due to covid doesn't mean that it'll continue. Malibu has been expanding production for a few years, so they are just lucky to be in a position to take advantage of the extra demand/catchup from the long shutdown. You can't exactly ramp up production quickly on hand built stuff - so the production slots are full. (Likely not very full of 3 event boats)

The ballast in mine is all factory and either under seats or under floor. I've never tried more than 150 since that is as much as it holds and with the 150 in it, you do have to be more careful when slowing and turning around since the bow sits lower than normal. The only issue with trying to install 330lb would be having the space to do it. The factory tank in mine completely fills the area under the bow seating.

The fuel tank in a V drive is in front of the engine. In my VTX it makes almost no difference if I have 10 gallons or 40 onboard. Looks like a sport Nautique only carries 28. Moving people to the side and observer seats works well, although the side to side balance is more noticeable than where they sit. Riding people in the bow at ski speeds is just nuts. While we do have a little more freeboard than a DD, it is a terrible place to have people if you need to spin quick for a downed rider. As for bow weight - my stock front tank is 150lbs, and I run with it full when I am skiing. I've never skied a Sport Nautique, but a friend of mine sold his and bought a VTX after skiing behind mine - a sample size of 1 but he thought that the wakes were a lot better on the Malibu. I am not suggesting you sell your boat - just that some of the suggestions for what works in my V-drive may not do the same thing in yours.

If you have a bow tank, fill it. Helps my vtx at lower speeds. If you have a center tank, play with the weight in that. A lot of these guys here don't think you can ski behind anything but a direct drive in a hand dug ditch.

@skinut non release bindings, and if you got back on the tail you were only along for the ride to the crash site.

Bilge pump is broke - don't worry I got this

The difference is about an extra foot in length. You can find all the specs here https://www.themalibucrew.com/index.php?/malibu_specs.html/

The Murano is a car, not an SUV. Crossover means tall car.

My son had one intentionally detached/re-attached at the knuckle due to a bone growth and it was about 3 months before he was back to rock climbing. Not the same thing, but I'm guessing similar pressure.

Wouldn't expect a single of the same brand trailer to be narrower, but it is just a matter of trailer design. My trailer is around 97" wide for a boat with a 98" beam. (102" if you include the guideposts) You would need to look into trailers that tuck the wheels in and raise the boat up a bit.

I owned one for a while, scared the crap out of me. https://www.ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/21013/skwal I stick with the monoski now when I want to be the weirdest guy on the hill

It is odd that someone with no clue about waterskis managed to find Ski-It-again. It isn't exactly a site you would trip over.

A shalom ski. Very rare.
