I bought a hydrofoil for my 17' Maxum 1750 SR as i use it to pull my kids on tubes and kneeboards and they don't like when i go fast enough to be on plane (some are quite young). My question is this, the first time out I blew out the water pump and I'm wondering if the hydrofoil had anything...
The motor just cranks and cranks. I've replaced the plugs gaping to .035 using a flat gauge. I have replaced the battery. I have set the timing and checked the dwell... I'm not sure where to go now. I've noticed that cold starting on land with muffs goes better than sitting in the water, but...
I have a 1989 Maxum 1750 with a Mercruiser 3.0L. Last year it had a hard time starting, so this year I checked the dwell and adjusted the timing per the repair manual specs. I got it to start easily while on the muffs at home but when I take it to the lake it has to crank and crank and crank...
I'm pretty new to boat ownership. My father in law gave a boat to my wife and I before he passed away a couple years ago. It's a 15' Crestliner Muskie 550 tri-hull fiberglass boat from the 70s. On the back is a Mercury 650 four cylinder (not the "Thunderbolt" version) from the late 60s. It's...
Need help finding some parts for my boat
I have a 1972 Crestliner Muskie 550 boat my father-in-law have me that I recently got running. The kids really enjoy tubing behind it but the transom hooks are so low the rope gets trapped under the water and the tube only tracks behind the boat. What...
Greetings,
I posted earlier about problems I had been experiencing with my boat and I was pointed in the direction of replacing my current prop with an aluminum 3 blade prop of the same diameter and pitch (thanks hwsiii). I did some searching around town and it looks like I can purchase the...
I have a 1972 Crestliner tri hull 15 1/2' boat that I am using to pull my kids around on a tube. It works alright but the transom hooks are too low and the rope gets caught under the wake. I have been trying to find a pylon for the boat but all the ones I have looked at say that they are not...

Greetings,
New member here. I have an early 70s Crestliner Muskie 550 15 1/2' trihull boat with a late 60s (68 I think) Mercury Merc 650 65 hp 4 cyl. outboard.
The boat was a gift from my late father in law. Before I got it the motor had been completely gone through but for some reason...
