I'm just looking for any opinions on a 1993 sea nymph, I do believe it's a 165BT. However I'm not positive. The H.I.N. has 2175 listed and after looking that up with limited results I found 165BT that look very similar.
Seems to be a pretty decent deal for the boat so
I'm going to look at this...
I'm looking for a cheap jon boat with a trailer. Something I can get around on local reservoirs with. A motor does not need to be included as long as I can throw a nice trolling motor on it and get around the reservoir with atleast a 600 lb person capacity. Looking for good deals online. My...
I'm looking at a 2013 14' aluminum tracker boat with a 1996 Evinrude 9.9 outboard. Looks to be electric start and it appears to be in tip top shape. Owner claims it's only seen the water 4 times and has been garage kept. Trailer looks to be in great condition as well. His asking price is $2500...
Ive recently come across a service bulletin regarding the timing. No. 95-11- States a change in point gap (.016) and timing (8? BTDC)
I'm a little confused because I have an original Delco still on my motor. The service bulletin does not list the Delco what so ever. It only states the new...
After many hours of frustration and money, Ive found post that shows the mercarb without a power piston? Can anyone confirm this? My carb serial number is 1389-9562. It has ONE mixture screw. I'm led to believe this is a Mercarb and not a Rochester.
I've been dealing with gas dumping into my...
I just was hoping someone could clear this up. I have a 130hp 3.0 with an Alpha 1 drive. The o-ring nearest the engine couple and splines on the drive shaft is not even close to being in the coupler. From the very limited information (one post) I can find online states that it's not supposed to...
Hello again, I appreciate all the help from this forum so far. I do have another question though.
1988 4 cylinder 130hp 3.0 A1 Drive
I have a Mercarb 1389-9562
Upon rebuilding my carb, I discovered that under the accelerater pump it's missing the following; spring, check ball, and retainer...
With a WOT bog, is that a symptom of fuel too rich or lean? No backfire or anything just bogs, although I didn't run it very long at WOT with the bog issue. Everything I've been reading it seems that it's a symptom of being too lean, yet all the signs point to me have a rich fuel issue. Black...
I do have one spot, roughly a 12 inch squared spot in my transom that appears to be soft/rotted. Its right around the area where someone screwed in some brackets for a garmin fish finder. What are my options? I'm pretty handy but not too familiar with boats yet.. I imagine in my head attacking...
1988 4 cylinder 130hp 3.0 (181 cid)
I have been having fuel issues lately. Currently have the carb off the boat for a rebuild. Today though as I was messing around with the boat I noticed I have gas in my oil. Correct me if I'm wrong but my first thought is bad fuel pump. Now, the million...
I have a 4 cylinder 130hp 3.0 engine. For some reason the sticker label on the motor is blank where it should list my SN. Is there anywhere else I can find this? I've looked to no avail. Was hoping they have stamped it elsewhere.
I have 4 cylinder 130hp 3.0 mercruiser engine. I was playing around with it today working out the idle issues I had. Well I got the idle issues handled but now I noticed, what I believe is a rod knocking or a bad bearing on one of the rods. Tell me the best and worse case senario please. How...
I'm dealing with milky oil in my trim reservoir. I guess my question is what's the best/worst case senario here? I got the boat running great for the most part this is one of my final issues.
I've been reading from time to time that hydrofoil is a big "no-no" on a boat. I am now considering taking mine off (came with boat when I bought it) and putting on smart tabs.
I would just like some feedback on this idea from more knowledgeable people. This is my first boat, I keep learning...
