With the gas prices i was thinking i could haul a little trailer to do some of my boat canvas work delivering a cover and stuff. can one bre made for a 84 with my lightbar? I know ive seen pics of bikes like mine with a hitch http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/1984YAMAHA1300e.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/1984YAMAHA1300d.jpg

Looking at the Maxum some of the upholstery look redone some Not and cracking, form the photos the bayliner looks better kept besides the soft floor ive seen that alot n 25 year in my work. the floor get wet alot from wet skiers rain with no cover but then the seats generlly are bad also. either way the privce seems hight for a 80s bayliner in todays boat market. mid 80s Bayliners dont have a good reputation either. or the force outboards and part can be harder to find. I had one also.

My boat isnt going far either this summer. try 1 MPG or 32 GPH and its over $800 with 220 gallons. I was sitting at my dock sunday and there were alot of boats out full speed and big 40 ans 50 footers running the ICW. I just sat there watching them behind me http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Misty%202/th_100_1056.jpg

My clutch res is full in the window and im sure its motor oil. the leak seems to be in front of the shifter shaft as is oiley in front of it on the exhaust pipe and dosent look to be the shaft. perhaps it is the stator grommet. im planning the buckeye upgrade at some point so well see. so is that metal line a clutch line?
-
My 84 has had a oil leak sence i got it 1 1/2 ago. seems to be on the left as that the messy side or perhaps itts from sitting on the side stand. but the left pipe is dirtier then the right . grimy on the leftside near the kickstand. there dosnt seem to be oil running down form the valve covers. and only drips after a ride for a while. anyway i was looking for the source today and came across a few thing i was wonder about on the left there is a square rubber cover http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/th_100_1060.jpg and under it seems to be a bleeder fitting? what is it? http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/th_100_1059.jpg and on the left running along the frame and going up the front is a small metal line? http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/th_100_1062.jpg and I also saw what apeared to be a repair to the frame, looks like it to me and has some black paint missing. the right side looks fine http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/th_100_1065.jpg
