The chines are rounded like Alumacraft boats of the period. Not sure about the brace across the bottom in one picture and the top cap at the intersection of the chine and the transom looks like their's too. Alumacraft was popular in my boating circles at the time and I had a 12 footer with a...
Canvas covers, tarps, and tents work because the stitching is tight enough to block water molecules from entering yet allow high humidity air to escape. Condensation usually occurs when you have sharp temperature changes over a short period and a high humidity situation and the body that...
Well it does go from about 80:1 to 50:1 as RPMs increase but after changing my 90 HP and using Pennzoil Premium 2 stroke oil TC-W3 (Two Cycle water craft, 3rd iteration), I didn't notice any smoke including any lingering after the hole shot and looking back to see if there was any smoke...
In the engine, on my recent engines, the tan with light blue stripe is over temp from the temp sensor to the output connector whereby the low oil is on the light blue white stripe wires (2 ea). On some engines there is a module that modulates the low oil leaving the OT a solid warning to tell...
What I would do since I fix my stuff...it doesn't go to the shop!
Get a service manual for your engine. Ebay is where I get mine. Dig around inside the manual for wiring harness information. Usually there is a schematic diagram of engine wiring including wire color codes that goes to an...
On my 2002 90, when you pull the assembly from the engine....the part (housing with all the internal components, held in with 3 screws on mine and turn it over right there with hoses attached) the gear is staring at you. Just grasp it and pull it out with its intact shaft. Put things back...
If you mix the fuel at a pint to 6 gallons of gas before the oil tank runs dry that ought to work.
I disabled my 2002 90 by unscrewing 3 screws holding the oil pump in place, temporarily removed the pump end of one hose.....to get the pump out, pulled the pump out, grabbed the drive gear and...
After you install that new impeller if the problem persists, come back and we can talk about some troubleshooting you can do to isolate the problem. The tell tale comes off the exhaust manifold on my engines and that circuit is separate from the block cooling circuit so the tell tale really...
How long were you taking to "head in" (really how long had the engine been running constantly) and how long did RPM reduction last. If it quit what did you do to make it quit?
I liked the removable dog house....just remove the hinges so that it just sits there and if you have to have stern seats make them individual on each side of the house....really would prefer to not have seating at the stern due to excessive stern weight and its impact on the hole shot and...
On larger engines they use a pair of separate relays which makes troubleshooting the relay as the problem easy....you just switch places and see if the problem follows the relay.
