Man it has been a LONG time since I have been here. Looking forward to connecting with everyone again!
Last year we sold our starcraft mariner and have been searching for something a little bigger with a cabin. We needed something that was better suited for long days on the water and the...
I have a 1978 Johnson 115hp outboard. I have searched the forums for my answer but i cannot find it.
So here is what happens. This year i prepped the boat for the summer. Ran everything on the hose and tested everything. I changed the lower unit oil, installed new thermostats, and she is...
So 5 years ago I was in the middle of a restoration of a 21ft 1978 starcraft mariner. The boat was coming along very nicely and we had the motor mounted and running good. We ran into a unexpected family emergency in 2011 before the boat was finished completely. I was forced to sell the boat...
I have a 1994 bayliner with a 3.0l mercrusier motor and alpha one gen 2 drive. When I got the boat the putative was making a lot of bad noises. I could hear the u-joints making noise and gimbal bearing howling. I pulled the drive and replaced the u-joints and gimbal bearing. Put everything back...
I have a 1999 bayliner capri 1850. I bought it last year with none of the guages working. We ran the boat all summer without issues. Last Febuary I took it to the shop to get the guages working. After a day of diagnostics the shop told me I needed a whole new pannel. Can this be accurate? I am...
I have been away from the forum for a couple of years. I have been so busy, that I have not had any time for boat projects over the last 2 years. Well I have decided to jump back into it. I bought plans to build a 16' Jon boat from scratch. I will post pictures as I go. The boat will be used for...
I have a 1999 bayliner Capri 1850. Just got it and it is a strong runner.
I do have some gauge questions.
The tac is reading backwards. So I have no idea how many RPMs I am spinning.
The fuel gauge only reads to half tank. But half tank on the gauge is empty in the tank.
The temp gauge...
I have been away from the forum for a while. Well im back with a new toy. I got a new to me boat. 1999 bayliner 1750. Interior is pretty beat. Seats are ripped. But the hull, deck, transom, are all solid. It has a mercruiser 3.0L engine that runs great. Took it on its maiden voyage today and it...
I am looking at this 1983 conroy x19 open bow. Looks like a pretty clean boat. Just wanting some feedback if this is a good deal? Make sure I'm not paying too much.

Let me know your thoughts.
I am looking at a 1998 Suzuki 140hp motor for my boat. The marine shop selling it is asking $2200. It is a very clean motor. Starts and runs well in the dunk tank.
Now here is my concern. The compression range is 140-120. On four cylinders. I have always thought a more that 10psi range is not...
I have searched the forum and could not find my answer, so sorry if this question has been asked before.
I am new to the I/O world. I just picked up a bayliner with a GM 350 v8 and a volvo 280 outdrive. The motor has fresh water cooling system on it. Runs great.
My question is, what temp...
So we have been having a blast all summer on our little 17ft red barron. But we wanted to get something that we could use this winter for winter crab, the late fall king salmon run, and something that will handle the rougher waters during the winter.
$2600 later, we bought this. She is a 1982...
I am helping a buddy of mine diagnose a 115hp mercury inline 4cylinder outboard he just go.
the motor ran great at the guys house before he bought it, we brought it home and it fired right up again. We took the boat down to the launch, put the boat in the water and it would not start. After...
I have a 74 115hp merc. I just got. The motor has been sitting for about a year. Got it home and she fired right up, but the throttle responce is very slow and when it is under load it has no power.
The top two cylinders also run very hot.
Any thoughts for this?
