    Posting links in threads

    Still having problems

    Finally managed to post a new topic, with all the error messages and retypes. I could see the posting while I was logged in. When I logged out, I could not see the posting. What gives? This new system is just not getting any better, no matter the updates! Peter

    Hello Everyone, While checking the resealed gear case of my QD-18, there was/is a light stream of air bubbles coming from the gear case when pressurized and put under water. The leak is a porous casting and not at any of the seals. The leak is about 1/2" back from the leading edge of the leg...

    Epoxying fuel line?

    Re: Epoxying fuel line? Thanks for all the replies and help! I did put in new lines, from a steel brake line, used JB Weld to glue in the tubes. I was leery about ordering a used part such as this, sight unseen, those are probably rusty too! I did not drill out the old tubes, I was worried...

    71 Johnson model 60esl71c wont fire up

    Re: 71 Johnson model 60esl71c wont fire up Welcome to iboats! If it tries to catch when you release the starter, it is possible that in the starting (cranking) position the ignition switch does not provide the 12V to the ignition circuit. It is the purple wire from the ignition switch, and...
