I have a 5.0FL pmda 1995 ford engine. The starboard riser has a leak and spills warm water into the bilge when the engine is running. Mechanic said it is cracked at the bottom. How do remove it to see if I can jbweld the crack, or replace it?
Ok, let me start by saying that I am an idiot. I knew the cold weather was coming and still insisted on using the boat a few last times. As Michigan weather does frequently, it changed on me, and fast. We had weeks of 40 degree weather and the week I headed to Pittsburgh for the Lions game I...
I have 12 volts on the purple wire coming from the harness when the key is on, then when cranking I get 9-10 volts to the positive terminal of the coil. A large amount of voltage coming out of the coil where the spark plug wire connects to the distributor cap, but no spark. Cannot get spark...
I have a 5.0FL PMDA engine, 94 and had a no spark issue last week. I put a new MSD blaster 2 ignition coil in her and she fired right up. Ran really well on lake st clair for a whole day. At this time I didn't have my new radio installed so every time we stopped to fish, I would turn the key off...
Boat was running solid, as some remember from this post, I needed to have my transom replaced.

A friend of the family did the job for $1700 and now I have a solid transom. When he had it all apart he told me he saw that the stringers were...

Ok, I have a cajun pro adventure 150 bass boat, have a very very clean almost new looking 50hp force on the back. It has run nothing short of stellar since I have had the boat last year. I have been running it all year long so far and never had a single issue with it. It takes 50:1 ratio 2 cycle...
Ok, I have a 1995 20' Regal Valenti 202 SE with a 5.0 and volvo penta sx outdive. I took it into the marina where i Purchased it a few years back to have the "spring special" done. Here is what they supposedly did:
Remove and replace oil filter, fuel filter, oil, distributor cap,

I live in the metro detroit area of michigan, 2 weeks ago the weather was near 80 degrees and i pulled the boat into the driveway, uncovered and hooked up the ear muffs. She started right up and I ran it at low rpms for about 5minutes and shut her down. I had planned to take her out on the lake...
Hi all, as we are approaching the new boating season, I need to get a new boat cover, my old one just lets the water in and is tore in a few places. I am hoping you wonderful people will help me make my decision on brand, material, and where to buy. My main concern is water repellancy and fit...
I just had to get a new prop shaft and 2 bearings and a few seals all new in my volvo penta sx 1995 outdrive. I was told that volvo parts are more expensive than others and this job at a marina would have cost me $2,500-$2,800. My uncle is a marine tech and he did most of the work and sent the...
Ok, I was out on the boat (wich has been running great) and had my uncle out to inspect it. He is a 40 year marine mechanic BTW. The second he told me (while in neutral and bocked) to bring her up to 1500 RPMS he said WTF is that vibrating. He was extremely concerned about it, we took it out for...
Ok guys, I do not want to break the bank here, but I also do not want to regret not buying a nice model. I mainly want a GPS for speedometer and offshore navigation, I do a lot of fishing and would love to combine the 2. I am comfortable spending around $500 on this unit. Please help me, I am...
