Neighbor has a 15ft 1960 Clipper runabout that he wants to bring back to life. Wants to redo the topside with that bumpy look that most fiberglass boats have for the inner deck and platforms. Anyone know about this or how to go about accomplishing this. Also where should we look to find original...
Does anyone know when they produced the first 1720 cc? I have a cc pre 1989 that the registration said 1720 but have been told it has to be a 1700.:confused:
What was the first year for the 1720cc? Trying to figure out if mine is a 1720 or 1700.:confused: It has a lot of wood in it and I believe the papers say 1720 but this boat was bought prior to 1989. Brother in law gave it to me but I'll have to dig up the registration to be sure what it...
Ran across an old 14' Mckee today. Don't know what year it is though. It has 2 places on the floor that looks like they had some kind of rectangular hatch covers on them. They are on each side and about 2' long. They aren't deep enough to keep anything in. I have 2 in the early 80's and they...
I have an 84' 70hp evinrude that idles fine but stalls when put in gear unless done quickly. Once in gear it idles fine until given more throttle. It will bog and you have to double pump throttle to get going and sometimes it will pick up on it's own and go. Once going it runs excellent until...
Where can I find stuff for the 14' runabouts? Looking for the storage container that fits under the bench seat and need the end pieces for the rub rail. Have one boat with the storage bin and have seen it in several other boats but can't find one. These are the 14' tri hull runabouts with the...
1993 40hp yamaha 2 stroke started off cranking in gear and got worse. Now it does nothing in forward and makes a whining noise if you try to put it in reverse. Didn't force the issue for fear of really messing something up. Forgot 1 important detail. This motor has tiller handle and manual...
Have a 1985 50hp mercury that won't fire. Motor was running in July except for starter having a bad bushing in top plate. Disconnected battery and removed starter to try to get it fixed or find a replacement. Put starter back on today and tried to crank motor. Starter spins,motor spins over but...
Carbs been rebuilt and new plugs. Runs pretty smooth in neutral. Put it in gear and the darn thing starts shaking really bad. Vbrates all through the boat and will not get all the way on plane.:confused: Gonna check compression again cause it is running so rough.
Have an 04' 90 hp Yamaha that the unit bleeds down on. Trimmed it out about 8 inches and put a block of wood under lower unit. In 15 minutes the unit had dropped 1/2 inch and was touching the wood. Any suggestions on what to do. In case it matters it is a 4 stroke.
Have a 1981 35hp evinrude that is getting fir at the plusgs but won't crank. gave it a small shot of starting fluid once and it sputtered but it won't do it again. Going to try to find a compression tester tomorrow. what kind of ideas do ya'll have?
My son bought this motor 2 years ago and it was running good, First the electric shift locked up while shrimping one night so the motor sat up for about a year before I finally repaired that. Motor never spit water out the 2 holes on the back like most older motors but ran great. Never over...
I have a 1978 115 evinrude that the t&t quit working on. Came back from fishing and put motor down to flush. 2 days later it won't go up. Solenoid just clicks. Thought this was strange but bought a new one and installed. New one does the same thing. This is a 3 wire setup hooked up to a single...
