    Clunking Noise at Low Idle

    Spent the day on the water & when I got home to flush the motor I noticed this noise at low idle in forward or reverse. You can't hear it at higher rpms, neutral, & everything appears to shift smoothly. The noise however is concerning. Yamaha 115 4-Stroke

    Fuel Sending Unit on Hurricane Deckboat

    Greetings all. Picked up a Hurricane deckboat a few weeks back & I have a few odds & ends that need to be tidied up. One is the sending unit. The gauge read is dead & I can see a red wire clearly labeled 'fuel send', but it's not hooked up. Problem is I'm not sure where to attach it. It looks...

    1971 Evinrude 18hp Cylinder Head

    Greetings All, I picked up this 1971 18102s about a year ago & it seems that if I'm not chasing part it's another on this one. I basically rebuilt the magneto along with some other maintenance, but I lost compression on the top cylinder here... I've been snooping ebay for a replacement head...

    71 Evinrude Gasket/Seal Help

    Hey Guys, I have a 71 18102s Evinrude. I've been freshening her up a bit, changing points, rebuilding carb, etc. I noticed the powerhead gasket was leaking so I pulled the head to replace & wouldn't you know there are two other gaskets that need replacing. Problem is they're are obsolete. 1st...

    Picked up a Cadillac

    Hey Guys. I recently picked up what I believe to be a late 50s Cadillac tinny & I'm in need of an outboard. The last boat I had (over two years ago) was I/O & I don't have much experience with outboards. I'd really like to throw on a late 50s Evinrude or Johnson for the look, but I'm concerned...

    Been almost 2 years...

    ...Since I've owned a boat. I hope to find the right boat next year, but I've come to terms there is no right boat for every job. I might end up with a cheap Jon to fish in & a pontoon or deckboat for family time. Who knows, there are lots of choices. I am however making due. I caught these...

    What is this?

    I assume it has something to do with my sprinkler system, but I'm not totally sure.

    The History Channel???

    Why is a show like "Sliced" even on the THC? The show hasn't even aired, but I don't get it. I'm not knocking the show per say, I've watched other shows on their network that have nothing to do with history, it just seems out of place.

    Trim Pump Issues Please Help

    My trim pump was going out on my 87 Alpha Drive. It was clicking, but the motor was dying. Occasionally it would work, but sounded like a dying cat & finally killed over. So, I ordered a new motor & installed it, but then it would not work from the switch. I referenced the manual and found...

    Jeep Fever

    For the past 20 years I've drooled over a Jeep. I've been close to buying one on numerous occasions, but practicality always won out. I'm looking at purchasing a new (not new new, I always buy used) vehicle in the next few months. I realize that owning a Jeep is a commitment, & you have to have...

    Crash Test: 09 Malibu vs 59 Bel Air

    I found this interesting article about how far we've come in vehicle safety. Although I'd rather have the Bel Air, I sure wouldn't want to crash in one:eek:

    No Charges Filed on Boat Crash

    While checking out local news, now that I'm a Florida resident, I found an interesting article regarding a boat crash that happened this past Easter Sunday which left five people dead. Also included in the article is a very graphic report of the incident. Very tragic & interesting that no one is...

    Moving to Florida, boat is on the fence

    I'll be moving down to the big water state next month & I'm in a boat dilemma. There is no way I'd want to live there without a boat, but I feel my rig will no longer suit me. My sterndrive ski boat is great for my area, but I feel a center console with an OB would better suit me there. The...
