Guys,
I have a 24' '79 Searay CC..I am looking for a replacement throttle cable. Mine has the single throttle/shifter control. Having trouble finding a replacement, if it's even replaceable. Thanks,Chris
I have a '79 Searay CC. The outdrive is a newer performance pre-alpha. I think the gearing is 1.47? I dropped in a 350 that's making around 330hp. Boat runs pretty well overall. Comes on plane good and cruises around 28mph at 3200rpm. WOT is about 4500 and 39mph. That is with 3 people onboard...
Hi guys. Quick question. I have a '79 Sea Ray 240cc. Fuel gauge went to full the other day. I pulled the sender, cleaned it and checked it with a meter. The resistance range on it is 200-40, so it appears to be ok. The gauge has 3 posts. I have 12V switched to 'I', good ground wire and black...
Hey everyone. Was hoping someone could provide me a wiring diagram of the dash on my '79 Searay Cuddy. I pulled the gauges from the dash one at a time to install dash cover. The only gauge not working properly now is the fuel gauge. There were like 5 black wires to the ground terminal on the...
What in the world is the trip to getting the shifter mech lined back up in the lower unit??? When I pulled it, unit was in drive and shifter was in drive. Tried a couple times with the shifter mech cradle in the right spot and the unit in drive. Once bolted up it will not change gears at and...
I have an '91 40hp OMC outboard with water leaking into the lower unit. I was going to order a new gasket/seal kit. Anyone know where I can find a procedure for lower unit removal and replacement or maybe a schematic. Thanks.
Can anyone tell me what the Miles Per Gallon may be for my boat. 16ft open deck Starcraft with a '91 OMC 40hp 2-stroke outboard. I was figuring around 7-8. I have not had this combination on the water yet.
Thanks,
Chris
I bought the '89 15horse force motor over the winter. It ran great for about 20 minutes and then ran on the top cylinder only. Compression test was good at 116top and 110 lower. I pulled the head to inspect the cylinders and replaced the head gasket. I also rebuilt the carb,inspected the reed...
My '89 force idles really fast. If i squirt some wd-40 around the carb fuel bowl, it slows down. Has anyone ever heard of the bowl gasket causing a vacuum leak?? Thanks
Hi folks. I bought a 15 horse force motor and it ran on both cylinders for about 30 minutes. Now it only runs on the top cylinder. I have replaced the reed plate gaskets, head gasket and fuel pump. The reed valves looked good and the worse case had a gap of .008 between the reed and the housing...
I'm new to this outboard motor scene. Normally I work on cars and trucks. I bought this motor, which I was told was a 9.9, for my aluminum boat. The model number on the US Marine tag shows 152y9a and the serial is 1050. The lower cylinder had no spark. I soaked the carb and blew it out w/air...
