    RPM Too High?

    Hey all, Ended up switching to the SS prop. At WOT it did tend to stay at about 4800RPM, but when I started playing with the trim it would increase back up to about 5000. I did pick up a few MPH with the SS, running at 47MPH into a head-wind with a lot more fuel than I had in there when I did...

    RPM Too High?

    1) Performance issue you are trying to correct. WOT running about 5K RPM at 44 MPH, I believe it should be max 4800 RPM. 2) Current prop manufacturer, model, aluminum or stainless as a minimum. Unknown manufacturer/model, aluminum prop. 3) Current prop diameter and pitch (required). 14.5 x 19...

    Replacement Fuel Pump?

    Hey all, I was able to get my Maxum in the water and running around this evening. I'm having a bit of a fuel issue though. When I would throttle up, I'd lose some RPM (it would bog down) then all of a sudden jump out of it and RPM would fly, I'd throttle back and it would bog down again. I'm...

    Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably take your advice and not bother adding it.

    93 Maxum 1800SR - Gear Oil Reservoir Hose

    Any idea what the fitting inside should look like? I believe this is the fitting for the outside of the transom?

    93 Maxum 1800SR - Gear Oil Reservoir Hose

    Hey all, I purchased a 1993 Maxum 1800SR a year back with a cracked block. Ending up finding a donor motor replacement. Cracked block was a 92-93 Mercruiser 4.3 (S/N: 0D841216), replacing with another 4.3 but a little newer 93-95 (S/N: 0F438375). When installing the newer motor, I noticed the...

    1986 Bayliner Capri 2150 Bowrider - Rear Seating

    Yeah, I may drill a few. From the photo that was pointed out, there's definitely rot, I'm not arguing that. However, you're looking at the bulk head / wall on top of the fuel tank, not the stringer. This wasn't fiberglassed in like the actual stringers in the hull, on the lower side of the fuel...

    1986 Bayliner Capri 2150 Bowrider - Rear Seating

    Haha, nah just got busy, trying to spend time formulating my plan for the boat. Can't believe I got so many responses from you guys from one picture. Someone else has previously tried to repair the floor, not sure if they did anything to the stringers. They look stock to me. It was curious that...

    1986 Bayliner Capri 2150 Bowrider - Rear Seating

    Thanks for the replys all! Transom and stringers all look good, if those were bad I probably would have scrapped the project. Heres a photo of the rear, there was obviously some water that sat here and rotted the seat but the important stuff all looks good. Agreed this is a small thing but...

    1986 Bayliner Capri 2150 Bowrider - Rear Seating

    Hey all, First, I appreciate you taking time to look at this post. I've purchased a 1985 Bayliner Capri 2150 Bowrider a few weeks back. I was unable to get it to match any photos of a 1985 I've seen online, and have assumed that it's a 1986 model Bayliner, but the hull was built in 1985...
