    Floor panel

    The teak panel for the ski locker in my 87' Senator is looking really bad. I would like to find a solid white panel instead of the wood. I was told by Checkmate to use "proboard", but I can't find this anywhere. Anyone have any info.

    If anyone has a contact with a phone number or an email address for someone at the factory that would be great. At this point I need to get an estimate to my insurance adjuster.

    Interior

    When uncovering the Checkmate for this season, I found that I had a visitor over the winter. I think a racoon destroyed all the seats, carpet, and headliner in the cabin. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good interior person in the metro detroit area.

    Steering system

    I am the proud owner of an 87'Senator. The steering box behind my dash seems to be worn out. The steering wheel has very little play from side to side, but has a lot of play in and out. Does anyone know part #'s or cost of this item? Also the previous owner put on a steering cable that is...

    I am the proud owner of an 87' Senator. My seats have been recovered, but the carpet has seen better days. Does Checkmate offer a carpet kit for my specific boat? If not, has anyone tried to find maroon marine carpet.

    Prop Pitch

    The prop on the boat is called a Vengeance by Mercury Marine. The diameter is 15". Top speed is about 58 mph @ 4200 rpm. The motor seems to have great mid range power, but seems to bog a little when trying to get on plane. Any advice on carburetor settings? I am currently running 71 jets...

    Prop Pitch

    The original speedo reads somewhere between 50 and 60 mph, at 4200 rpm. Last night I pulled the spark plugs, and they were snow white. We replaced the spark plugs, put larger jets in the carb, and replaced all the carb gaskets. The timing has been readjusted. As far as I can tell the motor...

    Prop Pitch

    I just bought a 20' Senator with a 260 hp. merc. inboard. The boat currently has a 21 pitch aftermarket prop. Wondering if this is close to what the boat came with.
