    15hp Mariner power under load

    I thought I would post what I did for future reference for others. The spark was good (thanks for the suggestion racerone), compression was 110psi in each cylinder (I forgot to check it with wide open throttle so it was probably closer to 120). I dipped the carb and cleaned everything up. I re...

    15hp Mariner power under load

    Hey all, I recently sold my mud boat and picked up a Sears Game Fisher (15' fiberglass semi-v/tri-hull design?) with a 1989 Mariner 15 hp (Serial # OC117061) for duck hunting. I'm suspecting a fuel problem as the previous owner stated that the gas was a year old. I've replaced the gas with...

    93 Evinrude 150 Intruder compression

    Hello all! I'll get right to it. The port side bank on my engine has zero compression on all 3 cylinders. Starboard side is 93,95, and 98 respectively. I've worked on cars and heavy equipment for a living, but not on two stroke engines. Could a blown head gasket cause zero compression on an...

    83 Volvo Penta 270 prop questions

    I recently purchased an 83 Bayliner Capri 1950 with the AQ125A engine and 270 outdrive. The po claims it will go 35-40mph but I think that is pushing it. The first time out on the water the prop was slipping, so I had to pick up another. I found a used prop at a local shop and the fella gave me...

    270 outdrive milkshake...

    Hello all, I just picked up an 84 Bayliner Capri with the 4 cylinder Volvo and the 270 outdrive. Upon changing the outdrive fluid I drained about 2 cups of water out before getting any oil...:facepalm: I put new 30 wt oil into it and decided to try a test run before digging any further into...

    Another ignition question

    I have a 1991 Bayliner 2070 Capri with a 120 Force L-drive that is only firing on the bottom two cylinders. I posted this question earlier and thought that I had figured out that more than likely it needed a power pack. I opened up the engine area to do some switching/testing to find that there...

    120 Force Top two cylinders not firing....

    Hello, I apologize in advance for not looking as thorough as I should via search for this particular question. We took out our Bayliner 2070 Capri today for a maiden voyage (with out the kids) in order to see if we got a decent deal on it as I traded a truck for it this past winter. It fired up...

    Questions from a novice

    I am the proud owner of a 91 Bayliner Capri 1650 with a 120 hp force and the ever so loved L drive! Sorry for the sarcasm, just found out today that these aren't the most desirable units...... Anyways, the boat is in great shape, it has one small tear in a seam on the driver's side seat, other...

    Bayliner Newbe.....tons of questions....

    First off, I would like to say that I am ready to take the bashing for making this purchase with out the proper checks. I am completely new to boating and although I was a certified auto mechanic, I have never worked on boats. I traded an old truck of mine for a 91 Bayliner Capri with a 3.0. The...
