    Went to the lake and nearly got that sinking feeling...

    I have 2000 (year) cc 1901 (model) bay boat. Today, took it out for a quick run since its been sitting up all winter. No issues with running it until I got back to the dock. Trailered it and took the drain plug out. Poured water. Looked in the bilge - there must have been 10 gallons back there...

    2000 Century 1900 CC - question and manual

    i have a 2000 Century 19' CC. I'd like to know what the max transom weight supported is. Currently has a 2000 yamaha 150 2-stroke on it. I want to add a boarding ladder. I'm not what you'd call a "small framed" guy and am just checking for safety sake. I'd also like to find an owners manual for...

    overheating - looking for a cause

    i know its not peeing out the pee hole. i'm really sure the impeller and tube is all good. once it leaves the tube, where does it go? maybe a blockage? i doubt this motors water passages have ever been cleaned out.

    I have a manual. Saw no mention of a poppet valve but wanted to check. Manual doesn't go into troubleshooting very much.

    overheating - looking for a cause

    motor started overheating before I changed anything. only time it seems to do it is at idle. if you are wide open down the lake, no issue. i did change the impeller and used the exact same style as came out of it (which wasnt in bad shape to begin with). I have ordered a new thermostat, thermo...

    overheating - looking for a cause

    Compression is good. I've pulled the head. Freshwater run only. Isn't there a different cover I need to pull where the water first comes into the block?

    gaskets and seals - 1973 70hp

    perfect. last question: the round opening where the gears mesh has a channel around it that looks like a seal would go there as well. the diagram isnt showing another seal. do i need to seal it with gasket sealer? seems unlikely they would create the channel if nothing went in it.

    gaskets and seals - 1973 70hp

    on the o-ring, it looked like it was one part but it had a circular shape within a tear drop shape, which matches the channel it sits in. is it actually two o-rings, one inside the other? the tear drop follows the contour of the gear box. the circular one seals off the opening where the gears...
