Hello all - well, the time has come... time to do some work on my trailer for my 1994 Bayliner Capri 2050. Bunk brackets are shot and I've started looking for compatible parts. Specifically, I'm looking for something to replace the C shaped steel "beams" to which the horizontal 2x4 bunks...
So yesterday first I couldn't shift out of reverse so, because I was docking, I cut the ignition. Got some help and got the boat in my slip. Pulled the engine cover and found the brass barrel on the lower shift cable had fallen out of its proper spot. I have no idea what is supposed to...
In the market for a new head unit. I got 4 of the 6.5" inifinity over the winter, and now need a HU to drive them. I've had my eye on the Clarion M303. Was doing some reading and came across the Kenwood 550U and 555U units. I like the fact that they have 6 preamps, because to be honest, I...
Hey all,
Made a bit of a boo-boo docking, and caught my neighbors swim steps (yes, I left a note offering to pay their repairs). I now have a narrow, deed gouge above the waterline. What caught me was the plate at the ladders hinge, so basically, I impaled my boat on a very dull knife...
Back for another season!
I've got an o-ring, sierra part no 18-7188-9 sitting in a shopping cart online and I cannot for the life of me figure out remember why it'd there or what it's for. Does anyone knowof a reverse part lookup utility tthat I can use to find where the sucker goes?
Thanks!
So... sometime along the life of the boat before I acquired her in 2006 someone put bushings into the block drains with 1/8" plugs. They did a good job - used red loctite and all. Water drains just fine our of the minute openings now, but I'm a bit concerned that as the boat ages, the rust and...
...Friday night. Candlewood Lake. Merc 4.3lx with Alpha One. Am i risking a freeze if i leave her in overnight? Better off leaving her in than risking pulling her after work and not completely draining it because it will be in the dark?
Thanks

I may have a line on Vortec heads and intake. Could I do this? Would this be bolt-on? Would I need anything else?
If this is possible what kind of power increase could i expect? Any potential problems?
Thanks in advance!

I was reading up on some posts about m anifold vacuum and something occurred to me. In the below picture, right in front of the fuel inlet there is a brass fitting. My Weber had nothing like this, so i just left it...
SOLVED:
Although quite humiliating I feel the need to post this in the hopes that someone else does not make the same or a similar mistake. In doing my troubleshooting I made a fatal error.... i made an ASSumption. Mine was about the firing order. I would have sworn that there was no way I'd...

OK, so I got all the parts to hook the test rig up. Put it between the fuel/water separator and the pump. Started her up, and the tube did not fill with fuel; an air bubble remained where connected tot he separator. With this being the case, could not tell if the separator...
