The hose should be connected to the oil fill as you show in your second photo. The hose does stop short of the surface of the flame arrestor. The hose is meant to allow gases (blowby) in the crankcase to be collected and burned in the combustion chambers.
I have a OMC 5.8L carbureted engine. It runs fine when warm, When cold, I have to pump the throttle a few times to get it to start, and keep the throttle at fast idle to keep it running until it's warm; about 3-4 minutes. I suspect the electric choke is not functioning properly. Can anyone...

Re: Ripped/torn seats come standard on all used boats?
This is the original interior of my 1992, 2-owner boat. If you saw it in person, you'd probably guess it was less than 5 years old.
The oil filter on my Ford 351W block is mounted at a 45 degree angle. When I unscrew it from the block it leaks oil from the filter can into the bilge. It's a mess to clean up.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to avoid the mess, other than laying a bunch of shop rags in the bilge?
My 3 year old trailer came with a 2 year warranty. You can guess where this is going.
The brake line is routed through a hole about 4 inches behind the actuator into the frame. It runs inside the frame back to the axle, where it exits the frame and it connected to a tee fitting before running...
I hope to watch this Saturday's fireworks over the Delaware river in Philadelphia from my boat. Does anyone know if the river will be closed at Penn's landing during the show? I don't want to get trapped upriver.
I thought my boat had been getting poor mileage but I figured out my fuel gauge is inaccurate. When the gauge starts bouncing on E there's still 1/3 to 1/2 left in the tank. Today I removed the original equipment sending unit with the hope I could adjust/bend the float rod and get a more...
Re: Problem with my trim on my 1992 fourwinns horizon
I have had intermittent issue with response from tilt and trim on my 1992 FW Horizon 200. Typically I solve the problem by disconnecting and reconnecting the T&T connector; I think corrosion may have impeded the electrical signal.
I've...
I've had the boat in my signature for two seasons. I replaced the bellows in 2010. It used to run bone dry; not a drop of water in the bilge after a day out. This season I noticed a pint or two of water collecting in the bilge and wondered how it got in. Yesterday it got much worse; the bilge...
Re: Reliable winter covering systems...
DON'T put your winter cover over your raised bimini. The bimini is unable to bear the weight of snow and will collapse.
What you need to do is essentially build a tent over your boat, with enough pitch on the surface to shed the snow. I built a frame...

I changed the lubricant in my lower unit today; it's the third time I've done this but of course there's always something new to learn. I know to drain from the bottom but fill from the middle.
I drained the old lube; it came out almost transparent, and the color was the same golden color as...

I was thinking about ways to discourage boat thieves. I have both a hitch lock and coupler lock on my trailer, but I know a determined thief can get past those devices easily.
Since my boat is winterized for a few months, I was thinking about removing the breakaway cable so the disc brakes...
