I just did a compression test on this outboard and all cyclinders were 115. Is this within the appropriate range for this outboard?<br /><br />Also, this outboard is having problems planing off and accelarating to normal speed. It appears that after all 4 spark plugs were replaced, the engine...
I have an old Chrysler 105 that I need to do a compression test on. This rig does not have a lanyard switch, so what precautions do I need to take so that I do not damage anything when I do a compression test on the engine?
I have a 19' Bayliner Trophy. It is about 2600 lbs. I just recently replaced all the rusted bolts on my Escort trailer with galvanized bolts and was also going to replace the bunk brackets until I couldn't find the parts anywhere. So I was forced to go with a new bracketing system which...

Does anyone know the torque specs for the head and the connecting rod to piston bolts. These bolts are the ones that require the 12pt 1/4" socket. Also I will be installing the reed assembly and carbs back to the manifold and was wondering if any special torquing is required here also?

I had my boat out on the water this weekend... I was finishing up about 24 gallons of fuel with about 1 oz. per gallon fuel system cleaner mixed in... Well I was just about empty so I pulled into the marina to put about 12 gallons gas in (I didn't put fuel cleaner in this time). I made it about...
I just recently purchased a 1998 20ft center console. Towards the end of the season after many uses (and leaving the boat in the water for a week at a time on many occasions), I discovered about a 7 inch scrape on the bottom of my boat. The scrape is pretty deep at one point in which it exposes...
