    Water coming from spark plug hole inline 6 following overheat

    Welp, I was on the homerun stretch of rebuilding 1986 Mariner inline 6 90HP tower of ppower. Ran it up using a homemade test tank while doing idle adjustments I finally noticed water level had dropped in the tank for a minute or so. I should have let her cool down but like a dummy, I started it...

    1987 16' Larson Citation DC 170 w 90hp OB Mariner restore

    Been awhile so thought I would throw on an update. After much research (I have zero boat restoration skills) and learning I needed to remove the deck (also called cap) to replace my floor, and realizing I needed to support the boat in a manner that the shape wouldn't change after removing old...

    1987 16' Larson Citation DC 170 w 90hp OB Mariner restore

    Thanks for the response kcassells. At this point in my project, I am debating just replacing the flooring, stringers, and bulkheads up to the area of the helm. I can't get further without removing cap. I am new to this, have a pretty busy schedule with work travel and kids sports, and don't...

    1987 16' Larson Citation DC 170 w 90hp OB Mariner restore

    Okay, I'm replying to myself;) But oh well. As I continue to learn (starting from zero) I see the top of the boat is held on with screws hidden neatly under the rubber strip that rings the boat. Huge relief for my project. Now I see I just need to remove all the screws and pull the top off...

    1987 16' Larson Citation DC 170 w 90hp OB Mariner restore

    Tried to upload a picture but I'm too green. The size needed to upload kept decreasing as I screwed up. Maybe someone can point me to the location of screwed-up uploads? Would appreciate it. Will upload a smaller picture for now.

    1987 16' Larson Citation DC 170 w 90hp OB Mariner restore

    Longtime reader of iboats.com. I retired from the service last year and now that I'm stable, my Dad sent me his 16' 1987 Larson Citation DC 170 with 90hp OB Mariner engine. Bottom line up front: the boat is completely rotted and most would recommend disposing and getting a water-ready boat...
