Nice to see that they thought out the lip above the out drive better on your model than on my 272 of the same year!KrisA wrote: Tue Jul 28, 2020 8:26 pm Just looked and I actually don’t have one. Here’s the bravo 1 outdrive. I’ll get one tomorrow.
Looks like a great boat! Hopefully the biggest issue you’ll have with it is scheduling it between you and your friends!

Interior is in rough shape, but that will be getting attention this off-season.

Which drive shower do you recommend or is there just one specific brand?akorcovelos wrote: Tue Jul 28, 2020 9:41 pm Get a drive shower for that drive before it starts looking it’s age!

Simrek for sure. Super easy to install.KrisA wrote: Sun Aug 09, 2020 8:49 am Which drive shower do you recommend or is there just one specific brand?
Love that motor, looks like thru-hull exhaust, without captains call?

Re: New to me 1998 252
I believe that’s correct. There isn’t a switch to divert the exhaust.thunder550 wrote: Sun Aug 09, 2020 9:47 amSimrek for sure. Super easy to install.KrisA wrote: Sun Aug 09, 2020 8:49 am Which drive shower do you recommend or is there just one specific brand?

Re: New to me 1998 252
Check under the console, to the right. Mine was obscured, hanging out with the kill switch. I didn't see it until I was on the floor some weeks after I bought the boat. It's just a non-descript silver throw switch. I can't imagine they'd do it any differently for your boat - what's the point of having the option to route the exhaust through the prop or the hull, without having the choice?KrisA wrote: Sun Aug 09, 2020 12:47 pm I believe that’s correct.

If you look at the pic it’s clear there is no captains call, just through hull.

Right ^^^^^
However, what is up with the 8 hose clamps on the starboard exhaust hose? What's going on there?
