    Gell coat questions

    Since I've got my engine torn down for a full rebuild, I've decided to upgrade the exterior too. Boat has several cracks and chips in coating. Can you specify what Ill need for filler? Also I think I read that gell coat can be bought in aerosol cans, if so can you share a link? Thanks in advance

    V-4 (1988) new rings w/ out power head removal

    Getting ready to put new rings in one cyl (upper port side). Does the power head have to be removed? If I don't remove it, can I remove the crank case from the top or is there bolts from the underside that I would have to remove too? If I do remove the power head, can all the work (removal)...

    Lower unit lube / alarm

    Quick question... I've got to fill the unit, and I have plenty of gear oil (not marine specific), just curious if this is safe to use or do I need to bite the bullet and order some marine oil? Secondly, I have a steady (1 second) alarm about every 15 seconds with key on (not running). Is there...

    Couple of question

    Is there a code / sequence for alarms that isolate specific failures? I get a 1 second alarm every 20 sec (approx) with the key on (engine not running). Just curious to see if that alarm frequecy should indicate a specific system failure? Secondly, I have no idle. I can advance the throttle...

    compression

    90 on 3 cyl and 60 on the other. I'm sure I need rings for all, but whats the chances I may get by with the $12 headgasket for the other? I think I read that some people squirt oil in the cyl and re check, if it improves that would mean the ring (correct)?

    Prop question

    For an older (decent performing V-4 engine) is a 4 blade prop an easy way to gain speed? Or maybe a pitch change? I'm kinda new to the boating world but would like to be able to get the best movement for the bucks (so to speak)

It needs an impeller (which the guy has) and since I'm a do-it yourselfer w/ no boat experience, I was wondering if you could give me an idea of what I'd be getting into. Is this a difficult or fairly simple job? Any special...

    93 Searayder sportjet (wont fire)

    My 93 sport jet (inboard 90hp) gets no fire to the plugs. I've just put it back together (had to replace bearings in jet drive unit) and I'm hoping maybe I got a wire crossed. I marked them but unfortunately my greasy hands diluted some of the markings. Any chance you may be able to provide me...
