    Hard water season approacheth...

    Getting close to the time of year where we freeze overnight, and soon it'll be below 0 (C) for some months. I've always noticed water comes out of the motor variously if tilted up, then down, whether left up or down before. Never had a problem with freezing, but what is the definitive way to get...

    Fuel starvation - '82 90HP

    Hi all, got the boat on the lake this evening as promised to the Mrs (by the end of July - yes, I'm a deadline driven guy). Started and idled out fine, water pump working properly, temperature good on both heads. Brought it on plane OK, but after a few seconds of high (not full) throttle it ran...

    '82 90HP blows out a crate

    Ran the old smoker in a shipping crate lined with 6mil poly. Only had one ratchet strap handy. She seems to have good throttle response. ;) Ready for the lake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t67CmeQ3qu4

    Ammeter wiring - '82 90HP

    Still working on the old boat - may get it on the water yet, but still on vacation on Maui. When originally rigged, the ammeter was wired in a way that only shows discharges from accessories, and I would like to have it show charging as well. Is there a practical way to do this? I don't mind...

    Upping output on '82 'Rude 90

    Got a bead on a blown E115TLCNB (seized piston) for cheap. TNT is good, so a spare for that if nothing else would be good. Since I'm probably going to tear the 90 down in the fall, what parts would transfer that would make the extra power? Or should I try to find a 140?

    OMC temp gauge

    Dad went a bit overboard in 1983 when he outfitted his (now my) boat. I'm looking for a matching temperature gauge to go where the pressure gauge is. I already have separate temperature senders at the top of each head and currently use the switch below the existing gauge to select which to...

    Compression variance - '82 90HP crossflow

    Compression test shows 110 top 105 bottom STBD, 100 top 95 bottom PORT. Tested cold and warm, no difference. I've not had it on the water yet this year, and it would be the first time in a few years. Thoughts as to what it might be? This is a very low hour motor, maybe 20 per year max, and has...
