    Any Ideas? OMC 140 Mystery Water in oil

    Well we survived the winter, most of the cows are calved and out of the corrals now so it is time to start playing with toys again. Neighbor brought his boat over as he wanted me to re seal his upper gear case and fix a few other small problems. 1985 OMC 140 4 cylinder. Looking it over without...

    Finally got it wet

    After messing with the boat all winter; ball gears, water pump, fish finder, battery, trolling motor, trailer winch, new prop, fluids and a hundred other small things we went out to a local lake to test things out. Overall things went well though there was a hesitation/miss on the 140 and the...

    Hand Winch

    Have a damaged gear on my winch, the small one on the crank handle, first thought was to see if I could order in a new gear for it but being that someone used a welder to ensure the handle could not fall off it will need more than a few parts to bring it back to life as a functional 2 speed...

    O.E.M. vs Aftermarket

    1985 OMC stringer 400 Took the drive off this week to give it a once over, everything working fine but being on a new to me boat I figured now with a minus 36 windchill outside is the time to give it a little TLC. Ball gears, one looks real good, the other I would guess has 30 % wear on it so I...

    It's Magic

    Wrote and posted a new topic, it would just time out and spit me out. Looked for it and nothing there. Wrote the post again and it went through. Checked again and both posts now are here. Wish I could do the same when I feel a bite on my fishing rod.

    Marine Carpet vs Textured Vinyl flooring

    Carpet versus Vinyl Still going through the new to me boat (85 Holiday 18) For 30+ years old the interior has held up extremely good. No rips or cracks anywhere on the seats or side panels and color not faded. The floor carpet, I am sure a good cleaning would do it wonders but for what it...

    Fish finder basics

    Bought another boat and plan on leaving the gear in the old one for trips to smaller waters. With Christmas around the corner my darling said she wants to buy me a fish finder. Along comes the stupid question of what kind or model do you want. Sounds simple enough I will look some up and give...

    Where did you all start?

    Have been enjoying reading the posts on this site but with snow on the ground in many regions not too many new posts to read. So I got to thinking about how and with what I got started with in this disease called boating and figured I would share it with anyone who cares to read it. My story...

    85 Holiday 18' livewell

    Being that it is snowing outside and the new to me boat is inside the shop I am trying to get as much as I can done to it before spring comes around. Has anybody installed a livewell in this hull layout? I am thinking of either going with a permanent tank under/behind the port rear seat next...

    New guy saying hello and asking a few stupid questions

    Hi I have been reading on this site for some time and finally figured I would join and try picking the collective brains of the knowledgeable individuals on here. Constructive advise is what we all look for but smart hind side comments are welcome as well as that's what seems to keep most...
