Just picked up a sweet little seahorse this weekend. Had a few questions to get it running right.
1) Is the carb supposed to have a little hole in the bottom just behind the butterfly? It almost looks like a screw should be there, as of right now its just open to air.
2) Did these carbs not...
I have a 101 minn kota trolling motor with no electric at my slip. I'm thinking about a solar trickle charger. Is there a way to charge the 36volt setup as a whole or would I have to charge each battery 1 at a time? I found a 6 watt charger by colman online for $50 with over charge...
I got the boat for a great deal, it was a kid's father's who had just passed. They just wanted to get rid of it, the interior needed some work and I was just the man for the job. Everything was done myself.
When I got it
Now
The floor plan was totally redone, I wanted more space so I...
I have a mooring/trailer cover. The cover is great on the trailer, not so much at the dock. My boat is a 19' wellcraft, I found used mooring cover with snaps for a 20' bayliner or something for cheap. Has anyone ever used a cover to a similar but different boat? I'd obviously have to add...
Went to put my boat in today, engine kept cutting out when going to put it in reverse so I knew I needed to adjust the shift cable. I asked my marina for a ruler or something to measure the 6". The guy at the marina said, "just use a dollar to measure from the center of the barrel to the...
I'm putting a new shift cable bellow on, but I can't get the cable to go into the small part of the bellow. Its like trying to put a hot dog through a cheerio. Tips?
I have a 19' wellcraft excel I bought used. The PO pulled all the graphics off so I have a very white boat, which is fine, but I like the look of the boats on the water with nice solid vinyl stripes. I called Wellcraft and got quoted $800 for all the decals! I went online and found 12" wide...
Both my switches are toast so I bought a new set. I'm just wondering if there is a way to replace these things without pulling all the bellows off. I have to pull the outdrive to replace my shift cable bellow anyway and thought nows the time to do it if it can be done.
This is the first year I'd be putting my boat in a slip. There will be times when I can't make it to the boat for 2 weeks. I have a very good marina who have a "pull first ask questions later" policy and will pull the boat out if they notice its taking on water then call me. But in the event...
I bought my boat last year and feel like I haven't enjoyed it cause there is just always something wrong.. First my starter mount broke, then my trim pump went, then my bellow got a hole, then my shift cable froze.. and this is all since I summerized it this year! I just went to put it in my...
All my bellows were just replaced but the shift cable bellow seems to have a 1/4" slit just behind the clip on the narrow end which is letting a little trickle of water in. (at least I think thats where the little trickle is coming from, the flow fluctuates as you turn the wheel right and...
I had mentioned in another link how I had a "mechanic" come swap my bellows. I just pulled my outdrive to do a cable swap and my drive shaft bellow was only half on and caked with epoxy. So I'm trying to put a new ring on the bellow, but I can not for the life of me get this thing on! I've...
The cable is in place, i'm trying to tighten the bolt but its like the cable is fighting me as i try to turn it. Any tips or tricks? The cable won't spin in the boat for me, I guess its a funny angle.
Pulled the cable off at the engine to try shifting by hand and its really stiff. It'll go into forward but I really need to yank it to make it go into reverse by hand. Does this mean I need a new cable or could it be something else? It was shifting fine last season, I just had the bellows...
I have a 1996 Wellcraft 19' with a 4.3 mercruiser. It looks like my lower shift cable is bad since its really stiff and I can hardly move it by hand when I disconnect it from the engine side. I've seen a bunch of cables online but I'm not sure which one I need. I'm guessing the cable only...
