I had to start a new thread or I would have used the old thread but someone deleted it so sorry for having to start a new one for the issue that I am having. Again if my old post were still here everyone would know my history of my boat but I will keep this short. I converted my 25' glasstream...
I bought a 1977-'79 Sea ray SRV 195 as a donor boat for the motor, electrical, out drive, yada yada yada, just all the parts to turn my '83 glasstream eagle 2500 to stern drive. I am trying to hook up the wiring and I do not have and can not find a wiring schematic. Does anyone here have one and...
I have been looking for the one tool that cuts the transom for the x-deminsion. Since I had to replace my transom, stringers and floor I converted from an outboard to an I/O. The tool is pictured. I would love to rent it or just borrow it, I will get it back to you.
I have posted several questions on the forum and I am finally getting around to posting pictures of my boat. About a year ago my brother and I got our boat running right and on the water and a crappy repair job in the hull from previous owners had us racing to the dock to keep it from sinking...

OK, I have a Glasstream 2500 eagle. It had a mercury 200 outboard we are trying to make it stern drive and encountered a snag. I did as described from the mercruiser book about finding the keel and doing the 90 degree tool method to find the x dimension. I have what I believe to be 2 keels. If...
Ok this is kind of a long post post but here it goes. My brother and I decided to get rid of our Mercury 200 outboard and put an I/O in because we had to replace our stringers and transom. We bought a '77 searay SRV 195 to get everything we needed. The guy told us it had a 305 in it with a...
OK, I am new to the forum. I did a search to try and find some symptoms that were the same on my boat but not much luck. I have a Blackmax 200 carbed motor with serial number 0b264023( I hope that correct). Alright let me start off by saying whats happening. I can put the but in throttle and rev...
