I have one of these laying around and wanted to see if there was any interest here before I went to ebay with it.
I haven't used it and the previous owner hadn't used it. As far as I know it has never been used. It is in mint condition. All parts, original box, and instructions are with it.
So the last time I had the boat out last year, the engine started missing instantly on one cylinder. So I finally did a compression check and found no compression on cylinder 3. Pulled the valve cover and found a broken valve spring. Is this something I can easily change myself? Are there any...
My trim pump quit working so I replaced it with a new one. Are there rebuild kits for these that would make it useable again so someone might want it?
I also have a one speed hydraulic trolling motor that came off of a Mercruiser 165 I/O. It runs off the main engine belt and the motor...
After debating whether or not to sell the old Starcraft and get something newer, I've decided to hang on to it and bring her back to life. Thought I'd share the project with everyone. This boat has been in the family for at least 20 years and is ready for a much needed makeover.

This fall I'm going to be replacing the deck in my 22' aluminum Starcraft. I want it to last a while (the floor in it is 32 years old, I'd be happy with 5 years out of a new floor), but don't want to spend a fortune.
I have already purchased a couple sheets of 1/2" treated plywood and my...
I have a '76 Mercruiser 165 L6 with a One drive.
It has a Rochester 2GC carb and I just rebuilt it myself. The problem is I can't seem to get it to idle high enough. Idle mixture screws are 1 1/4 turns from seated.
With the idle screw turned all the way in, I'm not even getting 500 rpms. When...
I'm looking towards the future since I don't really want to deal with restoring my 1976 Starcraft. It's a 22ft. aluminum boat and every part of it except the engine (Mercruiser 165 L6) needs attention.
I found a 1986 19.5 ft. Success Bowrider. This boat is fiberglass and everything in it has...
I have a 1976 Mercruiser 165 L6 with the Pre-Alpha drive.
I bought a used trim cylinder setup with stainless steel lines and when I hooked it up one of the fittings on the boat side was leaking pretty bad. The problem is I can't get any of the fittings off. The wrench just starts slipping. Any...
