I have an older Bayliner Ciera, but I am considering something small that I could store in my back yard. I've probably used it 5 times in the last 4 years. At first i thought an Edgewater 145cc would be perfect, but then thought a Cat might be better.
I then found a 33rd Strike Group High...
The glue is lifting around the circular "patch" around the inflation valve on the high pressure floor on my 2008 Saturn SD365. Air finally found its way out in one tiny section. I did a repair with Airseal at the spot where air is coming out, but I'm not hopeful. I was thinking of overlapping...
I got my 12' Saturn inflatable to use while camping in my RV. Alas,my interests have changed and I now take along a small motorcycle. I haven't used it in a few years.
I have purchased several expensive accessories through the years. I bought the flip down wheels ($250), high pressure...
Apparently I missed a drain screw on my 89 OMC Cobra in the past couple of years. I was locating the drains with the drive DOWN, and one of them (starboard side) is not accessible unless the drive is UP.
I've been getting warm water in the bilge and can't figure out where it is coming from...
My Yamaha 15 2 stroke was shipped with an 11 pitch prop. On my last outing I replaced it with an 8 pitch. Made a huge difference in getting on plane and increased top speed. For some reason, the floor seemed more stable at the increased speed. I was going 17 mph with the 11 pitch prop. I...
Saturn SD365 and almost new 15 hp Yamaha outboard. 2 adults and 1 child. I know I can take on fuel at Astor. I don't have any idea as to the distance or fuel consumption. Anyone done this trip?
When I longblocked my 89 OMC 5.8L a couple of years ago, I noticed that there were no exhaust manifolds available. I'm thinking of using my boat in salt water on week long vacations more in the coming years.
What is the work around to replacing the manifolds in these engines? Last summer I...
I modified a fuel cap for my Honda generators so it can draw fuel from a remote tank via suction. Can I do the same thing with my Tohatsu 2 stroke 3 1/2? I got a spare cap, removed the vent assembly and used JB weld to install a hose barb, then put on a marine fuel fitting.
I don't see why it...
I just had a new fuel pump put on. When winterizing today, I noticed a steady drip of fuel from where the metal fuel line attaches to the base of the carb. Looks like a brass compression nut holding on the line.
Is this something a simple tightening of the compression nut will cure, or should...
This motor quit on me on the ICW right after a refueling. I couldn't get it to hit at all. Rebuilt carb and replaced all fuel lines. Still won't hit. Squirted fuel in the carb. Still won't hit.
The wires to the shorting switch look real bad. Can this be the culprit? Any way to bypass them?
Anyone know how to source a OMC 5.8L fuel pump, part # 985723?
I'm showing it out of stock everywhere. Is there a work around? I think it wa only used 1 or 2 years.
I have an 89 Bayliner with an OMC 5.8. I just received a Sierra Igniter electronic ignition kit. I have a compatable shift assist interrupter on the way.
I there anything I should know about this instalation?
Do I have a "HEI" type coil?
Will there any problem with the tach?
It looks...
Last time it was in the shop the mechanic said I need a new shifter/throttle. What fits Bayliner 5.8 L OMC?
I want to go on and source the part over the net. Probably cost half of what he sells it for.
