    Yet another - how to paint my trailer post :)

    How about their marine metal primer and topside paint? I mean after all this trailer gets submerged in water. Would that be a good paint system?

    Yet another - how to paint my trailer post :)

    Thank you for the information! First time i hear of a fish oil to be honest. I couldn't find anything on their US based website, only the Australian one - Do you know where I can find this online here in the US?

    Yet another - how to paint my trailer post :)

    Hi, I'm rebuilding my old boat trailer which is made of steel tubes. I'm done with most prep work - all the old paint and rust are completely gone and it's bare metal now waiting for me to decide what to do next :) Is it a good paint system to use the rustoleum professional primer spray with...

    Hull preparation and paint selection

    Hi all, I rebuilding a 1992 Bayliner Capri which is currently on stands. I have a bunch of questions which are all related to prep and paint, I'll try to be concise :) How do I find the water line for this boat and do I really need an above and below water line paint here? I'm not sure what...

    Tilt & Trim - how to release pressure

    Hi, I've posted a few days ago that my T&T unit on my 1992 force 120 is pretty much done for. I removed the motor and hydraulic pump to take a closer look but now that I have a towing bracket I want to tilt the motor all the way up so i can insert it and work on the other components (i need to...

    Help identifying a Tilt & Trim unit

    Thank for the information (again :) ). I'll keep searching for parts. I might swing by local hydraulic shops to see if anyone can salvage mine. I wonder if the part can be CNC, hell - might even be cheaper this way

    Help identifying a Tilt & Trim unit

    This is the only picture i have from a video i took of the T&T trying to operate. I can't take a better as the T&T is now on my table :) You can see two pistons and down in the middle the single ram

    Help identifying a Tilt & Trim unit

    By the way - my outboard T&T has two hydraulic pistons and one small ram in the middle. Similarly to the motor and pump components, it seems like it doesn't match what I see in diagrams for this outboard - would it be easier to try and replace the entire thing to match the outboard I have or no...

    Help identifying a Tilt & Trim unit

    Thank you for the input. I assumed the same that the pump is most likely ok - however the bottom part of the assembly where it sits on is completely corroded and is not sealed. I will have to get a new one for sure - you think i'll only be able to find one by looking for a pump or not necessarily?

    Help identifying a Tilt & Trim unit

    Hi, Here's my T&T components off a force 120 (1992 most likely). It will raise the outboard barely but won't bring it down at all unless I apply immense pressure on it while I trim it down (T&T motor will spin though). A few questions if you will: The part where the hydraulic pump sits on...

    Missing kickstand on a Force 120

    Hi all, I encountered a video online which made me realize I'm missing a kickstand (that's the right term, yes?) for my motor. I need to do some work on the trim & tilt unit and was wondering how to secure the motor in an upwards position. Here's a snapshot of the kickstand from the video and a...

    Weight specification

    Hi all, I recently purchased a 1992 Bayliner Capri with a 120 HP outboard motor. I'm trying to find out the approx. weight of the boat in preparation of hoisting it off the trailer and onto stands. Approx. will also do fine as the motor is off the boat already and the interior is stripped...

    Help identifying an outboard motor

    Thank you for the reply. Plausible even though the boat year is 1992? I mean I know a motor can be swapped but It doesn't seems like it. Thoughts?
