First time out this year ?

An axil just failed on the trailer for my 2005 Response.  The fender is riding on the tire.

I am having a hard time finding someone to fix it. It would help if I could get the parts.  Can anyone tell me how I figure out the Make & Model numbers for the correct parts?

Hello All,

boat ran ok for 10 minutes. I Got pulled up on my slalom ski, was about to take my first turn in a ling while.  Boat died and was billowing smoke. No flames. Towed in,  found a fuse in what seems like the engine block. Pushed it in and reset it. Boat runs on a hose in driveway.  Thoughts on what happened and what was billowing smoke in the engine compartment?

@MalibuRon - Just an FYI, the basic engine is a GM design, pretty much a crate engine with marine capability (anti corrosion and spark contained components).  The marinizer (Indmar, Mercruiser, etc) add their ancillaries and tune.  

As for the Lucas ‘selling points’, the cats do see all the engine blow by so there could be some oil formulation that plays nicer with them.  Hard to say as they don’t provide any real details other than 25 wt v 15 wt on startup as a difference.  For a boat, a straight weight oil would work fine unless you really do use your drysuit:-)

Yes, the previous owner took it to a local boat mechanic after I complained to him about it. He had it checked out as far as fluids etc. but did not drive it. 

Given how easy it is (and the possible errors of checking it on a trailer with uneven ground) I highly encourage you take the 15 seconds to check it yourself, on the water.  Note that depending on how you use the dipstick it could actually be low...hat tip: @Engine Nut

Additionally, if the transmission fluid hasn't been changed in the last 2-3 seasons I'd definitely change it.
