    What does a de-carb consist of?

    I took my boat to the lake today, and it was being a little cranky starting, when I did take the motor cover off I did notice a little gas.... Does a decarb just mean taking the carbs apart and cleaning them?

    How to use seafoam?

    I would like to run Seafoam in my Force125. How can I run it? Do I just hook it up to the fuel line and let it suck through... Or would I be better off putting it in the gas tank?

    Got my power trim/tilt motor rebuilt.

    A local shop rebuilt it for $100.70 w/a year warranty. I figured it was not to bad of a deal, since new pumps are about 250-300.. Well anyways, When I was taking it off the boat someone has already done it and one of the fittings was stripped out on the pump, luckly my father works at a...

    Power trim and tilt not working....

    I have power at the pump, I hear my relays clicking, could it be that the brushes are bad inside the pump? I took it all apart, cleaned all the contacts, looked pretty good nothing broken, no wires missing. Put it back together and nothing.... Should I buy a new pump or get this one rebuilt?

    Boating accidents...

    How in the world do they happen? I remember reading in the paper last summer about 2 seperate boating accidents. Both happened at night..... Both boats that got hit were anchored in a cove. Luckly no one was seriously hurt. I guess beer and boats just dont mix!
