2007 190 Montauk Aft Deck Drain

I have a 2007 190 Montauk and the aft deck never drains properly. I see the newer models have changed the drains to the back of the deck not the sides by the rear seat. I was thinking of putting in two or four Perko 1/2-inch drains in the rear below access doors. They are nylon and was going to cut ...

190 Montauk 2007 Horn Replacement

Any better horns available for [a 2007 Boston Whaler 190 MONTAUK] now? [The original horn] never worked long, then on-and-off with sick sounds. [Have there been] any improvement in horns in the last ten years? Saltwater use. Thanks

Re: Epoxy Barrier Coat

As the project goes, the worst is over. I used Peel-Away to soften paint and it was two days work. Sanding off [all of the bottom paint] would be the worst [approach] in my opinion. You paint on Peel-Away thickly with a brush and cover it with paper. They supply paper. I ran out so I used freezer pa...

Epoxy Barrier Coat

I have a 2007 190 Montauk with 10-years of bottom paint on it. Time has come to remove it all. [The 2007 Boston Whaler 190 MONTAUK boat] is on jack stands this evening. Two hours of sanding has left one side 60-percent-complete--a messy dirty job. West Systems and Interlux make barrier coats. Which ...

Re: 21 REVENGE with Mercury 115-HP FOURSTROKE

That is a lot better performance than my 2007 190 Montauk with a 2007 115-HP and bottom paint. It never hit 40-MPH--38 maybe in neutral water with no tides or wind. Two people [brings] down [the maximum boat speed] to 36-MPH or so. Fuel full then it drops further.

It is a little of everything and a huge toy for people with money or multiple boats. There is nothing like it. I'd order one but gas is to expensive at the moment. --I laugh aloud--

Re: 2007 Mercury 115-HP Cable Rigging Grommet Comes Out

Thanks guys. It is wrapped for the winter now. The rigging was done by Boston Whaler at the factory. I think it usually gets messed up when motor is trimmed up. I did try some cable ties on exterior around grommet. Also I will look at the interior more closely in Spring. Maybe the ridges on the grom...

2007 Mercury 115-HP Cable Rigging Grommet Comes Out

I have a 2007 Mercury 115-HP outboard engine on my 190 Montauk. Where the [rigging] cables exit the lower motor housing through the molded rubber plug [grommet], the plug [grommet] it is always coming halfway out. Are there any tricks to make it work better? Thanks.

2007 MONTAUK Rub Rail Color Restoration

My 2007 Montauk rub rail has a few spots or section about 12-inches on transom that are not really black. The rest of the rub rail looks good. I use 303 Protectant on it, and I have tried Back to Black by Meguiars.

Is there any way other way to treat [the sections that do not look black]?

Thanks

Does any horn work on a boat for a decent length of time? I want to upgrade the horn on my 2007 19 Montauk. The OEM horn works on occasion and squeaks others. Thanks
