    why different wells on ob chieftain 18 have 1 have 2 boats apr one 14 and one 25 in deep

    Are you referring to the distance, front to back?, or the distance top to bottom? One of my Mariners splash well measures 32" from transom forward. The other one is a year newer and measures only 11" from transom forward.

    Converting Roller trailer to bunks for my Starcraft 161

    The straight flat surface of your boat will be pushing against a flat board. Board wont sag in the middle, or on either end past the bracket.. You are good. The bunk brackets on my trailer are 8'apart.

    That would be 1/2”. If you aren’t doing a restoration, and willing to modify a bit , go with 5/8”.

    DF20 Fuel Inlet

    The fittings may look the same but……. There have been slight changes in these parts over the years. How deep they push on before they lock on, if they are for the tank side or the motor side, Suzuki, omc, mercury,etc. If not correct, it may not lock on, or the inlet needle may not be...

    Force 125 Anyone recognize this part?

    Your photos are fine. The no permission message was just because you were new to the forums. Cyclops222 message was deleted for some reason. But, unfortunately I can’t identify the part for you. Could be a manual choke lever.

    2 stroke longevity?

    So now that the BIL is hooked, he should go buy a newer-bigger-faster one. Then he can sell you his old one (cheap) :) so you can decide if its something you want to do long term.

    Performance expectations for a smaller boat??

    Update……: So I bought a 16’ Alumacraft, similar to the one above, 1 year newer. Ordered up a Suzuki 30 hp efi with power tilt. Initial performance was not great. Had to raise the motor, then plug the holes and redrill so I could raise it some more. Replaced the prop, going 4 pitch lower...

    Performance chips

    I have one on my vehicle. Most newer vehicles have it. Came from the factory. Push the button and the shift points are changed, along with fuel injectors are restricted. It does get me better mileage, but really isn’t nice for driving. Gas pedal needs to be pushed down 80% or more, to get...

    DESPERATE situation

    "" the top vent hole "" The exhaust relief port on the back side of the midsection ?????? ""uncork the impeller plate"" ???? Not sure what that means, but yes, drop the gear case and have a look around. Might as well install a new impeller while you have it opened up.
