    cutting out due to ignition???

    1990 Yamaha C85 hp. Ran fine, sat 4 months during transom work. Starts and idles fine. Now cuts out with rhythmic bam-bam-bam when any throttle over 5%. This is with or without load. in or out of gear. Went through all 3 carbs and cleaned. Plenty of fuel visibly spraying in all throttle...

    Cap in, deck out?

    Re: Cap in, deck out? Got everything glued in and ready to glass. I removed the fuel tank and installed some extra bulkheads in its place. Im going with remote tanks, easier maintenance and there will be NO holes through this deck, other than wiring through a PVC pipe under deck that will...

    Cap in, deck out?

    Re: Cap in, deck out? Got the starboard stringers in and PB'd. I left the old port stringers in while doing the starboard side. So far, being my first rebuild, i would recommend this to another first timer. It kept some strength in the hull and made it really easy to fine-tune the new...

    Power trim compatibilty

    I have a Yamaha 85hp with weird numbers, cv85EL, 688. Can't find a lot of info on it. I am hoping to convert it to power trim. Does anyone know about compatibility of swapping complete units or brackets. I found a 75hp with a good unit, but not sure of fit : C75TLRU, 692 Thanks for any input

    Cap in, deck out?

    Re: Cap in, deck out? Moving right along! Just installed new transom. Put a layer of thick CSM on aft side, then buttered the hull nice and good. Had to use my through holes to clamp with threaded rod and 2x4's, since those gunwales were in the way. Seems like i got a good squeeze out of...

    Cap in, deck out?

    Re: Cap in, deck out? I got my wood finally and glued up two layers of 3/4" marine tech for the transom. Lots of clamps, screws, and a bottle of titebond III. I've got about the last foot of the stringers ground away to make way for transom tabbing. I have a few areas of solid woven i...

    Cap in, deck out?

    Re: Cap in, deck out? A good reason not to rely too heavily on core samples... Someone had good intentions, slid some good wood between the two sides of mush. Im moving right along. This is my first boat project, though i do lots of other projects. I am amazed that every bit of wood was...

    Alternative attachment of center console

    I am currently doing a complete restore of what was :) going to be a deck replacement. I have a feeling the center console mounting screws have a lot to do with the TOTAL rotting of this boat (87 Cobia Sunskiff). I dont see much out there on this topic so... Refer to my lovely drawing: A...

    Cap in, deck out?

    Re: Cap in, deck out? Well after a lot of distractions (fishing), I finally cut into the old thing. Totally rotten! The stringers have composted into a nice soil. They were glassed rather poorly to where i can't tell how thick the wood was inside them ( there are thicker sections around fuel...

    Cap in, deck out?

    I see a lot of people removing the entire cap of their boat to replace the floor. I realize some boats require this step, though i am hoping to skip that step with my little cobia sunskiff. I know its not the pure way of repairing, but with this small boat it sure seems possible to just cut...
