    Aquasport 170 yr.? water logged?

    I am looking at an Aquasport 170 and am not sure of the year. The hull number is ASPB1195V76F which leads me to believe it is a 76. I am interested in this boat but I think it is water logged. I looked between the deck and hull by unsrewing a small access and I could see what looked like a mushy...

    Split inline gas filter - defect?

    I recently replaced the inline gas filter on my 96 Force 120 after replacing the fuel pump diaphrams. Took out the boat several times, however on my last trip I discovered gas pouring from the cowling and upon inspection I realized the fuel filter has split open. Was this a defect in the...

    Gasoline vs. Gas mixed with Methanol

    I raise this question because I'm noticing that many of the local gas stations now have a posting indicating that the gasoline is mixed with 5% Methanol. The sticker on my boat indicates that I should only use gasoline. I fill up at the local Hess station since my boat is on a trailer. What...

    Fuel problem or Electrical or something else?

    96 Force 120 on a Bayliner Trphy 2002, Very Low Hours<br /><br />On a recent outing on the bay I was experiencing stalling at idle and some difficulty restarting. Usually starts on the turn of the key. On our trip back to the boat ramp I was moving along at about 30 MPH when I throttled back to...

    Does the name Zaida mean anything to you?

    If you recognize the name, I'd like to chat with you. This boat was in my family when I was a baby and I recently noticed it docked near my mother's house. :)

    Tilt/Trim guages - Useful?

    After reading dtro post. I was wondering how useful a trim guage would be, having never had the opportunity to operate a boat with a trim guage. I have always trimed by the feel of the boat. Thanks again.

    Weak flow through Pee hole - 96 Force 120

    Recently I've notice a very weak water flow from the pee hole of my Force 120. Installed a new impeller at the start of the season in May. But, recently there seems to be plenty of water spraying out of the Exhaust and very little, if any at times, coming from the pee hole. As I see other...

    Water pump replacement gone bad-damaged upper housing.

    OK - Simple job to replace the water pump impeller on my 96 Force 120. Done it too many times on my old merc Stern Drive. Always the problem of lining up the splines on the shafts. Thought I had it and gave it a shove and began to tighten down the nuts when I hear a click. Well it seems that...

    Volvo Diesel

    I have a 2 cylinder volvo diesel that will not fire. Tried virtually everything, check fuel pump, injectors, etc. But it seems that there is a large volume fuel delivered to the cylinder since I am finding diesel fuel in the crankcase, but there seems to be plenty of compression. Any ideas or...
