I found some lovely small metal discs in the bilge tonight after pulling the tarp off the old Girl.

cant post the pics, I see where they came from, wondering if I need to be very concerned and process to get them back in?
I'm getting unknown...
Greetings!
Boat is a 1992 Four Winns Horizon 190 with Factory Trailer. Last weekend when I was parking the boat in my yard I heard a loud "snap" I thought I ran over the kids bike at first. But then every rotation I will hear the tell tale POP, (but only when under a load)
I did the research...
Hi All,
Phew, lots going on and very little boat time. -- I do have good news to report.

Hi All
First boat summary: 1986 Bayliner Capri 125 HP force 1254X6B
So my splashdown was "mostly" successful. I got water bleeding in from somewhere.. not enough to scuttle her or anything but there is some water in there :)
It started easily, but was dying going into gear, so I popped the...
Good day all,
Quick History: restoring a boat that sat for 5 yrs *2yrs completed uncovered
I'm near complete on the interior restoration.
The engine starts, idles, and runs on the muffs. (all covered in a different thread)
My last issue is a stiff forward throttle.
Just as the post said; now...
ok
this will be hard to explain, but there are two parts making contact that's preventing th motion. on the lower part of the tower rod. there is an armature that's hitting another white piece only after a few millimeters of movement..
It's been hitting that white part for a while because...
hi all
been working on the internior and trim so I'm just getting back to the engine issue.
The throttle as I said is very hard to move, I'm not able to push the throttle cam by hand when it's all connected.
When I pop off the arm, I'm able to move the cam through the throttle, from start to...
Hi all,
EDIT: Darn it!! This should be in Electrical, I apologize. if a Mod reads this feel free to move.. sorry.
MOD EDIT - Pantz - It should stay here for Force trim help. Force electrical vs boat electrical.
Summary question: When converting to a two wire relay system in a 3 wire setup...
Quick carb info:
Ok I went out today and put the muffs on, and much to my pleasure It started on 2nd key turn.
I had the cowling off and I noticed then when I choked it, I got some fuel spilling from the carb (not the bowl) right out where the butterflies are. Not a whole lot maybe a...
Hi all,
I removed the lower unit this weekend. I wasnt' particularly difficult thanks to an awesome sticky by Frank.
The lower unit did not come off easily though, it needed considerable persuasion, but it did come off.
I was surprised to learn that the gear (f-n-r) rod is held together with...
Hi Guys,
I lost track of this post.. wow. Well anyway here's what the back end looks like: what you don't see are two very simple seats that slide in beside the remade engine cover. I've tossed in one picture of the engine cover near completion; all insulated up!
The backing is a simple...

Hi!
As usual I'm humbled by everyone's willingness to help.
Thanks for the spark plug info, I consider that a closed issue.
The engine is Model number 1254x6B (those numbers are now very clear to me as those get used when searching for this part)
Serial number is 1853 (now that's a simple...
Good day everyone,
I've come into a 1986 bayliner capri. -- it was a interior nightmare, but fully gutted now (another story)
I cleaned up the electrical, and was moving towards the outboard, which actually is in really great shape considering the age.
Anyway the Tilt is fried, and I've...
