I have a 1991 Capri 1850 with a merc 3.0 I/O. I have the original camper top, but it has not been used in many years, so I'm told. I am missing the camper top hardware. I know that it is a 2 bow frame, but I can't get accurate measurements to replace it because the top has shrunk so much. The...
Does anyone have any advice on how to stretch my canvas for my Capri. The guy I bought the boat from never used it, nor did the previous owner. The bow cover and the camper (Bimini?) is too tight to snap into place.
The previous owner said to soak it in hot water and it should strech, but I...
When I bought my boat 2 months ago (1991 Bayliner Capri 1850) the previous owner told me that he had drifted into some partially submerged logs while fishing. He claims that the boat never took on water and that the scratch (more like a tear) only went through the gel coat. He attempted to...
My 1991 Bayliner Capri, with a mercruiser 3.0l, is having tachometer issues. I checked the wiring and everything seems to be ok. The tach doesn't read accurately and is slow to move as you move the throttle. It won't read anything under 900 to 1000 rpm. It is the Delco EST ignition and a US...
I am currently getting my new 1991 Bayliner Capri ready for the water (just bought it) and am changing the outdrive oil. I drained the oil last night and this morning when I prepped to fill it (from drain hole with pump) I had oil oozing out of the vent hole as soon as I removed the vent plug...
Just wanted to ask everyone what they thought of the 1991 Capri. I just bought it and am currently doing a floor & stringer repair on my Glassport. The Bayliner's floor seems to be extremely solid. From what I can see in the ski locker and also the rear compartments of this boat, the floor...
Just wanted an opinion on a noise my 1991 Bayliner is making. It has a Mercrusier 3.0 (sn D610831) with an Alpha one drive (snod559854).
Ther seems to be a noise comming from the engine compartment that almost sounds like a rattle (sort of like a cardboard box with rocks being shaken). My...
I just bought a 1991 bayliner Capri with a 4 cylinder mercruiser. The serial number for the engine is D610831. I'm trying to find out if it is a 3.0L or a 3.0LX. Whats the difference between the L and the LX? My engine has the Delco EST ignition (if that info helps). Thanks in advance for...
I am currently working on repairing my deck on my 1988 Glassport 165rx. I will also be repairing 1 stringer as well. I've learned from other threads about fibreglassing in the stringer and deckboards. Does anyone know the best place to buy fiberglass mats and resin? Also, must I use a marine...
When I pulled my outdrive, I had some water in the u joint bellows area. Not much, maybe 4 ounces. Is this ever normal?
I just had the bellows replaced last summer.
There is no water in my outdrive oil (or lube whichever you prefer).
I have had no water comming into my boat in that area all...
I have a 1988 3.0, Alpha one that I am changing the shift cable on. I have a service manual and am using it to guide me but my questions are: Do I have to remove the bell housing to get the shift cable bellows off, and if not, how do I get to the clamp so that I can pull out the old cable...
I have been restoring a 1988 Glassport 165 for several years now. I finally got it on the water last year but now my floor has several soft spots. I'm good with mechanical skills (I've rebuilt the motor and all electrical parts of the boat) but I wanted as much advice as possible before I tear...
