My question is what has to be drained w/ a closed cooling system? It's getting closer to winter and I dont want to freeze and break anything. I dont have a manual so I was hoping someone with the same set up can help me out. Thanks.
It's A 1994 Crownline 182 BR with just under 300 hrs. It is in great shape for the year. It has the 4.3 V-6 and the Alpha 1 outdrive. So far I love it. I plan on taking off the stripes and chroming the rear crownline badges. Other then that it has ran great the four times I have had it out on...
I have had my boat out a couple times this year and it has ran great everytime. So I go to take it out again with a friend and decide to start it on the muffs in the driveway before we went. I primed the ball, choked it, and cranked away. No start. It ran perfect last time I had it out. It did...
Re: Anyone have any used teleflex rack and pin systems laying around? I need a part
It worked out great. The new plate has 3 bolts that hold it to the dash, and 3 bolts that hold the helm to the plate. Then I used the old style original teleflex plate over this one so the plastic bezel could...
I need the plate that the helm bolts to, and then bolts to the dash. Not the plastic part, the alum. plate or what ever they use on the newer style helm. I bought a new helm for my new cable and its diff then the old helm's mounting plate. EDIT
I have another post but maybe im not explaining what the problem is very well. My motor raises and lowers fine with the switch. The problem is when im in the water and put it in gear, it pushes the motor down. The motor will stay up forever without a load on it. I could see atf oil on the main...
I have a problem with the tilt on my boat. When I have the motor in the up position and put it in gear to go, the motor gets pushed down. I don't see any fluid leaks but can here the ram leaking from the top seal if I push down on the motor manually. I see a pin at the top of the ram that holds...
I am replacing my teleflex steering cable. It is the rack and pin style, 13 ft cable. The old one says it was made in may 1985. I bought a new cable off ebay and the seller is telling me it is a newer cable and needs their updated helm. It looks the same in the pic. but I have not received it...
Im having a issue with my tilt unit. Its a 86 mariner tilt set up for a 90 inline 6cyl.. The tilt lifts up and down when under no load. It will get pushed down if its tilted up and i start to go in the water. If I put all my weight on the motor when on the trailor, I can push it down also and...

Well im not a pro but i think its coming along good so far. I will add more pics as I go along. I cut the bow open more past the windsheild and im recarpeting the whole boat. Now I can walk thru the windshield area easy to get to the bow. I also re decked the front w/ new wood and had to cut the...
I seen this on a car site I go on. Thought it may help out some people new to wiring. There is better ways, but this is a good way to splice wires.
