Morning guys! Have a mariner 40 magnum, runs absolutely amazing, but I'm getting a fuel leak where I circled causing a pretty good rainbow in the lake. This appears to be the rod where the throttle plate is attached. really pain to get to and get the carb off, so I wanted to check the...
Recently picked up this motor and have been doing some basic maintenance to it while we've been in lock down so its ready for the summer.
It starts up fairly well, the electric choke had been removed by previous owner.
Misses ever now and then, esp. in mid range, see the video for examples.

Good morning everyone, I'm one of those start the boat and lift the "hood" kind of guys to check everything everytime. I was going over temperatures with my IR gun to make sure the manifolds and everything were equal (recently put in a new impeller) and i stopped on the alternator. It was...
Hey guys. Traded in the four winns for something bigger and it's giving me a headache. Watch the video it is spitting sputtering and not happy while running. Idles fine. Om620680 http://youtu.be/ZuAqEO6X9kA
Wasn't sure the best way to word this one, we currently have a 205 Sundowner, we want something a little bigger but aren't sold on the cruiser style boat, my wife's dad has one and its nice but a little bigger and slower than we want.
Anyway cutting to the chase were looking for something in...
Ok guys so this is my first year winterizing this boat, done it with plenty of outboards and Merc IO’s but my first OMC I/O, Have an 1989 OMC Cobra 5.0HO *ford engine* After reading all the info on this site I think I’ve got it down. I know everyone says read this and read that, but I feel a...
Going to be redoing the cabin of our cuddy cabin boat this winter. The wife and i are in a dead heat over replacing the cushions with fabric (like they are now, 24 year old Boat) or replacing the fabric with matching vinyl to match the exterior seats. We always put a sheet down to sleep on...
Well after 24 years of service the fabric seats in our cuddy of our boat are ready to be rejuvenated with something new. And since winter is just around the corner what better project can i think of for the wife to do this winter then sew some seats!
They aren't in horrible shape just...
Hi Everyone, have an 89 four winns and for some reason the PO took of the decals on the side and back. I think i've found a company to replace them with but i'm not sure if it will be exact size. This being said are these stains here forever or is there some miracle product that may help.
Re: What do you pull your boat with?
We have an 89 Four Winns 205 Sundowner. We started pulling it with our 08 Liberty against the advice of a lot of people. To be honest it pulled it great, you knew it was back there but we trailiered it over 300 miles to lake cumberland with it, no...
Good morning everyone, we recently purchased an 89 four winns 205 sundowner with a 5.0 ho omc, model #502APRMED. Only put about 3-4 hours of actual engine run time on it since we've gotten it, we like to launch go to our spot and start relaxing and drinking :joyous:
Anyway the temp gauge never...
Re: Fuel Guage/Trim Level guage inop
Gas tank should be center of floor maybe towards engine, trim gauge on my omc is on the drivers side (if i remember corect) and it is a little arm coming out that moves when you put the trim down, seems like this could break very easily. I would make sure...
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July, ours went great until we were heading back to the launch and our impeller went out for the water pump. Engine never got above 200 so i am not worried about damages as i am a look at the gauges every 10 seconds driver, call me paranoid! and we were lucky...
Good morning everyone! We're planning on making our first trip to Lake Cumberland this weekend. I've done lots of looking online and it looks like an awesome lake, they just raised the level so i guess much more will be accessible. We are staying at Jamestown Marina. We plan on seeing 76...
