    Starting circuit

    Another question. The boat is a 1980 with the 3.0L. There is a pcv valve on the valve cover but I can’t figure out where to attach the hose. Did this year run in to manifold vacuum or a fitting on the carburetor base? My brother has a 93 Glaston and his has a fitting on the spark arrester. Mine...

    Thanks. I figured it out finally. I’m used the outboard control boxes with neutral being in the 12 o’clock position. On this boat 10:30-11:00 o’clock is neutral. I held the key in the start position, plugs removed and grounded to the block. Slowly moved the throttle forward and the starter...

    Starting circuit

    Does a 1980 OMC sterndrive have a stater lockout to prevent starting the engine when in gear? I’m working on a 1980 Starcraft with a 140hp with a no crank issue.

    1980 Holiday 181

    The boat is The boat is cleaning up really nice. I’ll remove the side window frames and straighten them out and get new glass to put in them. It appears the previous owner was working in the engine compartment and doing work to the wiring. I’ll have to pull out the test light and meter to check...

    1980 Holiday 181

    Good day folks. I just picked up a 1980 Holiday 181 with an OMC 140hp and OMC outdrive. Up until last winter, the boat had been stored in a double car port. Unfortunately this last winter the roof collapsed and broke both side windows. I first came across it on Kijiji and his price was...
