- Oil drain hose should be long enough that you can take it out the stern drain plug. Then hook up whatever your preferred oil extraction method is to the hose.

- Oil filters can be a pain to do without making a mess. Relocation kits exist to move the filter to a location that's a little...

I don’t know the answer for certain but I’m guessing it’s just corrosion. I had to remove the board racks off my 2007 tower to install slalom racks and I ended up having to cut the heads off the bolts. I damaged them too much trying to get them off. Lots of penetrating oil and a stud extractor...

Your original post said '06 X2. I could be wrong, but I didn't think the ZFT3 tower came out until '07. Is that the original tower for that boat?

I have used them for several projects at work. Their turn around time is very quick and they're pretty cheap as far as custom made panels...

If I'm just going back and forth to my local lake I don't, but typically do if I'm towing longer distances. I’ve gone through some fairly narrow construction zones where I’ve been glad to have the extra room.

Just to clarify, I am referring to the nut on the coupling side at the transmission, not the prop nut. I do think I like the idea of adding the washer to get it tight.

I replaced my shaft seal today which overall went well. But when I went to tighten down the castle nut on the shaft at the coupling, if I tightened it down all the way the holes were blocked and I couldn’t get the cotter pin through. I had to back it off to where it was basically just finger tight...
