The boat is a 1991 Wellcraft Eclipse 232 powered by a MCM 350 Magnum. The engine plate says WOT should be between 4200 and 4600 RPM's.When out on the lake this weekend the boat ran well at idle and never gave any indication of poor throttle response up and to WOT. The problem is that I could...
I've got an old Monarch 18 ft flat bottom that needs new floors and decks. Just wondering what materials you guys use to replace the floor and then to recarpet/cover the floor. Would you go with carpet or some sort of rhino guard coating? Where is the best place to get boat carpet?
Looking for a tilt trim set-up to replace the tired old tilt assist cylinder. What should I be looking for? Part numbers and specifics would help the most.
Thank you in advance!
I'd like to go with a synthetic but not sure what weight this motor needs. It has about 600 hours. Any tips for bringing it back to service after sitting for 1.5 years?
Can I get a regular automotive oil filter or does it need to be a marine (Part Number)? Does anyone know where I can get a...
I have a 1992 Evinrude 48 SPL. Had it rebuilt in 07 and it has less than two hours on it. I start it up and run it on the muffs every other week to keep it fresh. Recently when I turned on the key the alarm stayed on without starting the motor. I was able to turn the key off and back on a few...
I bought a 1991 wellcraft with a Mercruiser 5.7 magnum and the outdrive is heavily corroded. It looks like it may be serviceable and isnt leaking anywhere but I am on the lookout for anoher housing. I can't ID the lower unit because all the markings have been corroded or are painted over with...
I sold the searay with the old 470 even though it served us well last year and we didnt have any problems out of it. I took the cash from that sale and bought a 1991 Wellcraft Eclipse 232. It has a 5.7 Magnum and a corrosion pitted Alpha one outdrive. The drive housing will most likely make it...
Took the pontoon to the lake last weekend and the motor ran great for a day and a half. I noticed an intermittent rough idle. This motor has an oiler but I also added some oil to the tank for added protection. This is common practice for us on the pontoon because we pull the kneeboard with it...
We're taking my 1994 JC Pontoon out this weekend and would like to pull the kids around. Problem is there is no place to connect a rope to the back of the boat. The U shaped toons do not have lift rings on the back and the only thing that might work are the cleats (Have heard they will rip out...
Can anyone recoomend a good rope for towables and a good one for skiing and wakeboarding/kneeboarding? I'd prefer something I could get on e-bay. Also what 2 person tubes do you guys reccomend?
I had a humminbird 797 GPS fish finder unit and e-bayed it because of the limited map support and the fact that I could only use it on the boat.
Yesterday I bought a used Garmin GPSMAP76 that is like new and really love the features of it. I have already uploaded the detailed maps from...
Just want to know how the Mecruiser 470 crowd is fairing this year. We had ours out last weekend after de-winterizing and she ran great. No problems at all.
Anyone else?
When idling the boat in the driveway cold and on muffs I hear this very pronounced moaning coming from the engine. I can't isolate it to one particular spot but it goes away after the engine warms up.
I've already read all the jokes associated with this. Including that it is the tortured souls...
