    Hi guys, I've emailed iboats customer service line twice in the last 4 days asking if it's possible to get some coils for my 73 Johnrude 4hp airmailed over to the UK as no-one here stocks them (and even if they did they'd be about $80 each....), but I'm not receiving any replies. Any chance you...

    73 4hp Evinrude sparks-very odd problem.

    Just been servicing my auxilary and it wouldn't start. Checked spark, cleaned fuel system out etc and all seemed ok.<br /><br />Then I put a strobe on it and found out that it won't spark with the plugs IN, but it WILL spark with the plugs out and touching the casings. I got it to run by closing...

    Merc 50 type 1 trim/tilt motor brushes

    Just opened up one of my trim/tilt motors (type 1 trim/tilt) to check it out before fitting it and the brushes are so worn out I'm surprised it ran.

    Yet another "Hailing JB" :D

    I noticed there seem to be an awful lot of new users with no idea of internet etiquette or how to post so it's even legible. This is most evident in the repair/ maintenance forums.<br /><br />Would you care to have a look at this link to an internet writing guide?<br />Is it worth including at...

    UK/Australian oxy-acetylene gear compatibility

    Don't suppose any of you guys in Oz happen to know if UK regulators are compatible with Australian bottles do you? A friend is moving out to Oz soon and wants to know if he can take his gear (minus the bottles).
