    BBQs on the boat: what's the deal?

    Re: BBQs on the boat: what's the deal? We have a Magma. It is a little touchy on hot spots and there isn't a lot of adjustment in the cooking flame on mine, but I'm good at moving the food around to cook it evenly. I also believe it's not grilled if it doesn't have a little char on it. We...

    Help ID a couple oldies?

    Looking to see if anyone can help ID these motors, saw them the other day. I love looking at old outboards, doubt I'll ever go this far back with fixing them. The only markings on this were MD 183312 on the upper leg of the casing. The prop was interesting, it has 2 piece insert with a...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Back seating ideas sound great and the walk through. Consider putting in some type of grab rail. On mine after skiing or tubing they are tired and a hand hold helps them get in the boat. I moved a stainless rod holder that is flipped up and...

    Evinrude Power Tilt Power Trim

    Re: Evinrude Power Tilt Power Trim Looks like an obsolete prestolite motor. If you search prestolite you might find some threads that discuss this motor. If I remember someone here was retrofitting a volvo pump to these units. Another option might be to see if it could be rebuilt at a...
