A friend of mine is looking for an outboard for his 19' Silverline BR. 115-150hp<br />It needs a long shaft (23").<br />I've seen a lot of Force motors for sale here for reasonable cost but he said he wouldn't buy one because they are junk.<br />Is this so? What sort of problems occur to give...
Out the rear seal, I think,. over a litre and a half in 10 minutes came out.<br /><br />This weekend the engine will be pulled and I have a couple questions.<br /><br />Is the rear main oil seal the same as the car/truck engine GM 250? or does it have to be a marine oil seal?<br />Also, while...
Ok, we're ready to scuttle this damn thing!<br /><br />The engine runs and revs fine with no load.<br />Once you put it in gear and give it gas there is no power, none, and it pops back through the carb.<br />Here's what we;ve done so far.<br /><br />changed leg oil<br />New plugs<br />new...
Here's another question of prop pitch.<br /><br />I've read through a number of posts after a search and found a lot of info. that helped me but I need to ask a couple questions.<br /><br />I pretty much know that a 1" change in pitch will equal roughly a 200 rpm increase or decrease.<br /><br...
After a carb rebuild, this engine is brutal to start in cold weather. Any idea what's going on?<br />Once it warmed up it runs great.<br />I've adjusted the choke as per instructions from members here, 3/16 gap on choke plate, and fast idle cam is engauged etc.<br />Giving 1 full throttle pump...
I found a Loran c Navigator TL-900 by Taiya.<br /><br />Would anyone know what this is? or where I can find information like a manual on it?<br /><br />Thanks
1987 Kal Kustom <br /><br />In my never ending (it seems) quest to find the perfect boat for me, I think this will do nicely.<br /><br />Are these ok boats? I think the price is a little high but I can work on that and I'd probably purchase without a trailer to bring across the border into...
After rebuilding the carb, boy was it dirty, the engine is now quite difficult to start but runs and idles fine after it's run for a couple minutes.<br />It's been cold here, and humidity is high so<br />I suspect the choke isn't adjusted properly. Does anyone have the steps to adjust the choke...
I've been reading iboats.com for about 2 years now.<br />During this time, I've read many a post about, "how do I get on plane?", "How can I go faster?", "How do I repower merc, omc etc.?"<br /><br />The first lesson I learned was never buy an under powered boat. In many ways I had to figure out...
I'd like to hear from anyone who has repaired/replaced the transom on your's or someone else's boat.<br />I'm looking for what is involved, special tools needed, what materials are used etc.<br />I am still looking for a boat and I've found a number of nice models with the power I want...
I've heard this term used to describe a part of a boat.<br />Can someone tell me what this is? Is it the slope or angle and length of the very front of the boat?<br /><br />thanks
I've been looking for a boat for a while now and I think this is what I'm looking for.<br />This will be the first boat I've owned.<br /><br />Length: 18 Ft. 0 in.<br />Year: 1982 Used<br />Manufacturer: Wellcraft<br />Model: 180 Bowrider<br />Location: New Hampshire<br />Type: Bow Riders<br...
Does anyone know what would be involved if I buy a boat in the US and bring it to Canada? I'd have to register it I'm sure but does anyone know everything you need to do?<br /><br />thanks
I've read many related posts on the subject.<br /><br />I haven't bought a boat yet but I'm reading and learning everything I can.<br /><br />I'd like to hear some of the pros and cons of inboards, I/O and outboards from those of you with more experience with each.<br /><br />I'm really leaning...
Hi.<br /><br />Thanks Bondo for the flare wrench size, it was a 3/8. This is a merc 165 and it's newer than I thought so it's probably an alpha drive.<br />Well, I attempted to get the hydros working today but didn't succeed.<br />I bled the system as per the shop manual. The leg goes up great...
