Does it have a coast guard capacity plate?
Oh yeah, its been modified a bit.
You definitely NEED a new steering cable. That one is a disaster waiting to happen. Thats a lot of HP to be flopping around back there with no steering.
Also, those 4 screen door pull handles for tie down anchor...
Pretty sure you don't have Sure Lube hubs.
Sure Lube hubs have the zerk on the outside, AND the old grease is expelled thru the outside of the hub alongside of the spindle.
You may have Super lube, or EZ lube, redi lube, spindle lube, or ? hubs.
Or it means that trying to type several paragraphs of instructions, will likely result in something missed, or misunderstood.
If you have 2 manuals, why are you asking how to do it ?
Anyone working on these motors and performing more than simple tasks, should have a manual. I've got a shelf...
I have found that tilting the motor all the way up makes it a little easier to install gearcase. A little easier to lift/support/ slide, and a little easier to see that all is aligned properly as you install.
Bunk trailer or scissors ?
Just guessing but ... was the water level low last fall when you pulled the boat? Could easily have affected how the boat settled into the trailer as you pulled it up the ramp.
May have to back it in deeper to launch.
Or not so deep and pull it off with another boat.
Anecdotal evidence from NY, SC,FL,MI, CO, ND, etc., is all useless.
He is in IL.
IL is a stickler for paperwork. One of the worst in the country.
Glad you found a trailer.
If you buy a new trailer, even from another state, it will come with a manufacturers certificate of origin, which is all you need to get it titled and registered in Illinois.
Try fleet farm. 14’ bunk trailer for $1250.
repair the tear
any canvas shop can tell you if it is possible.
mine was fixed in under an hour
then decide if you want to trade in the wife for one of those younger models that just stands there and smiles, or if you want to keep the one you have that actually tries to help.
You can't buy or sell on the forum.
We were graciously granted permission from iboats management to have this thread.
It is to be used to alert other members of Starcraft boats, or original NLA parts, on the market.
Then we restore them hopefully with parts we buy in the iboats store.
