Looking at picking up a 18' starcraft starchief VIO (or V10, hard to say which way it's printed on the tag) And the S/N is 68 4796. Safe to assume this is a 68 model? It looks alot like a cheiftain but it's labeled as a starchief. Comes with a bad Mercruiser 120.
Waiting for a Seloc manual to shop up which might not even have what I'm looking for.
Rebuilding a 74 Johnson 9.9 and I'm curious if there is a size tolerance for the needles in the rod bearings? Looking to see what the factory diameter is. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it!

Got a 1978 25HP motor. Got it in pieces, noticed that the flywheel is rubbing on the charge coil. Took the flywheel off and sure enough I have marking of where it rubbed. Is there a good write-up on how to realign the charge coil?

I have a 71 22' Chieftain and it doesn't have a raised floor whereas alot of others I've seen do have a raised floor. What's everyone's opinion on having a raised floor vs not?
I'm going to put a new floor and stringers in a forester playmate and I was thinking of lowering the floor a couple of inches. I was thinking about how does the factory decide where to put the floor height? Its a Tri Hull so my guess is the floor is already placed at the lowest part of the mold...
I found this pic of a gauge cluster/bezel from someone with a chieftain, does anyone by chance have an extra one lying around or something close? I would LOVE one of these and it would be perfect for what I need it for!
Hey guys,

I've seen some plastic 6 gallon fuel tanks that have electric sending units in them for. I assume this must be a kit? Just curious if anyone has made one of these?

Pre-Alpha lower unit worked great in forward and reverse no problem. But it needed a new impeller, well I disassembled it from the upper unit, installed new impeller kit, reassembled, had trouble reinstalling as it would have a 1/4 gap all around and stop. tried a few times and finally got it to...
got a crestliner muskie 15 runabout and trying to remove the cap on it to redo the flooring. I have gone around and taken all the staples out of the folds, but it won't budge when we try to lift it. were there other key spots that the cap was attached usually? thanks!

So my 140 mercruiser I'm working on is giving me more greif and I'm suppose to take it camping this weekend!
It would have trouble shifting into forward, the clunk, clunk, clunk then it engages. Reverse was no problem.
