Hey guys,
I bought a 1998 Baron Magnum last week. Its in decent shape but needs a little work. Working on the transom and I cant find much of anything for these online. I think this is the 7th boat Ive done so I figured I could tackle this. Making good progress but man it is a bear. Finally got...

Hey guys. Thanks for the info and sorry for the lack of replies I had to run out of town. But I do appreciate the feedback. I thought Id post some pics of the boat and motor. Its actually a 3.0 as you will see but here she is!
Ok good to know. Do you know if the height is the same as well? The transom should come out in 1 piece. I hope lol. If it does I can just trace the keyhole location onto the new transom with the new bolt pattern. Correct? And thanks for the help btw much appreciated! The last 2 boats I did I did...
Hello
Ive done a couple starcraft restores and I recently did a 1990 Lund and my next project is a 221 Islander. I dont have it just yet so no pics but will post progress when I get it. Its currently my brothers and he will be dropping it off this December. That being said it has a 4cyl motor in...
Hey guys!
Thought Id post up my newest addition :-) The title says 1968 and the plate in the boat says Offshore but if I check online theres no offshore until 1969 so Im not 100% sure of year. But, got this for free from a family member. Needs a complete rebuild. Motor is a Mercruiser 120...
Figured Id start looking over the rest of the motor before I order some more parts. The temperature sensor was completely rusted and shot. Had to beat the thing out of there it was rusted so bad. Looking online they are apparently almost non-existent and any that I can find run about 60$.. Only...
Well I will finally be able to get back to work here shortly I just got a call from my employer yesterday so that is great news. My bday is also coming up in a few days and my mother in law is buying me some parts for my bday :happy: Im ordering the coil packs now and should have those in the...
Yeah Im not sure how its been running this long like this. I popped the flywheel off today and got the stator out. Hit it with the multimeter and the charging coil on it is bad. Not sure if I posted but 2 out of the 3 coil packs were bad that I tested. So, that being said, I feel better about...
Man oh man.. Started taking the ignition off def going to replace it all.. this would explain so much.. my gauges would bounce around on the water couldnt figure out why. Im not marine mechanic but the more I read the more I learn. Its all starting to make sense now. Here, the rectifier was...
Just took the coils off one has a huge crack on it. Assuming its bad. Going to replace it for sure and test the other 2. More than likely just replace all 3 so doing this more out of curiosity than anything. They are only about 30$ online and easy to replace. Also planning on testing the power...
