Re: Volvo DP spun prop?

On a long run today at Lake Cumberland there was a lot of debris in the water. We felt a bump early in the trip but all seemed ok. Later, we were running at 3900 RPM (Volvo 8.1Gi) and suddenly lost speed. RPMs remained ...

Servicing retractable dock line unit

My 2011 A25 came with retractable dock-lines for temporary dockage. They are built into a spring loaded housing in the gunwale. A guest inadvertently pulled the line all the way off the spool by forgetting to tie it to the boat cleat when tying off. I contacted the Denver company EZCleat which ...
