    Yamaha 5.0 crack, leaking water

    Found a really great deal on a 1993 Glasstream 190 with a 5.0 yamaha. I know the outdrives aren't the best, but for the price(Under $600), it's likely worth it. My question is...can one fix the block? It's at an auction so I don't think I can inspect it much, but there is a picture of the crack...

    Need advice...

    Hey guys, I posted this in the Four Winns forum, but that doesn't see much traffic. I just heard back from the service shop that my '88 Four Winns Freedom 160/Johnson 120 supposedly needs 3 pistons. I haven't really talked to them about it, I didn't get the call, just heard 2nd hand. They want...

    Freedom 160 advice

    Hey guys, Just heard back from the service shop that my '88 120 Johnson supposedly needs 3 pistons. I haven't really talked to them about it, I didn't get the call, just heard 2nd hand. They want $2500 to do a rebuild or they can sell me something else for that price or more. Seems steep to me...

    Any wakeskaters?

    Just curious if there are any wakeskaters on here. I just started about a month or so ago, never been wakeboarding or skiing, just figured it looked like something fun to do. What do you 'skate on? I have a Liquid Force Anthem 2012 'skate. It's apparently an "advanced" board, but I'm so new I...

    1988 Johnson 120 dying

    My motor has been running great all summer long, only small issues, like needing new plugs. Anyway, put my boat in the water on Friday and was running across the lake at WOT, which is about a 5min ride, so it's a decent trek across a pretty big body of water. Long story short, without warning...

    OMC/Johnson 120 outboard RPM / Mounting

    I have an 87/88 Four Winns 160 freedom with the 120hp OB motor. I supposed I bought it, oh 7-8 years ago. It's been a great boat but I recently got curious about the RPM it was supposed to be running. My tach goes to 6k and some people have been suggesting it should run almost that, if not more...

    Water pump issues? Johnson 120

    87 or 88 120 V4. Just started my boat up for the first time today, and it seemed like the stream of water was not very strong, more like a drip. I had the ear muffs on so that could be part of the issue, but it concerned me because one side of the motor was quite a bit warmer than the other...

    1988 Freedom 160 parts?

    Hey guys, I need a new dash toggle switch(3 way, up, down, middle) for the lighting on the boat. I saw the parts catalog on fourwinns.net, but it only goes back to 1996. The reason I need a new switch is because it's not the right kind, it doesn't stay in the "on" position and just springs...

    OMCTracker 100

    Hey guys, I have what was referred to as a "depth finder" installed in my dash, but I can't find any information on it. It is called an OMCTracker 100. It no longer works and I was curious if anyone had any information on it. It is on an 88' Four Winns Freedom 160. Tony

    Handling question

    I am kind of a n00b to really technical boating performance, etc. Anyway, I was curious if there was anything I could do to get my outboard to sit in the water while cornering hard? I believe it only does it when turning right, but I don't remember after the long Minnesota winter :). Someone was...
