Strapped up the axle and limped into Blythe, got a new tire and finally into Parker at about midnight, only took about 8 hours. New tires and a spare before the next...

    Hi guys, My brother has a 1999 28' nordic with a 496 efi engine. When you start it up hot or cold it runs rough but, as soon as you give it some throttle it seems to clear up and run fine. He took it to a shop in Havasu for outdrive service and after servicing it he told him that it sounded...

    So this weekend I encountered a new issue that I haven't ever had before. My left motor intermittenly did not want to hold an idle when it was in gear. I would shift it into gear and unless I applied some throttle it would die out and the motor would quit. No trobules restarting, no troubles...
