    1987 Yamaha 115 V4 (115ETLH) Low Speed Fuel Starvation?

    Hi Everyone, I'm working on my neighbors 1987 Yamaha 115 (115ETLH) and am running into a bit of a problem. I've already thoroughly cleaned both carbs, but it is still having an issue at low speed. I was able to get the boat to plane out and take off and run fairly well at high speed by pulsing...

    How Much Is It Worth?

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to decide on a price to sell my old boat's trailer for. I'm not sure what it's worth. It's in great mechanical shape. It does have a little surface rust but nothing major. All it needs is new lights and maybe a little carpet. It was for an 18-19 foot bowrider. I...

    1989 4.3L OMC Cobra

    Do any of y'all know what outboard the cobra's lower unit was "stolen" from? You can tell that it is an outboard lower unit just by looking at it while it's removed from the upper unit, but do y'all know what year, and horsepower it's from? Just curious so that if I ever have to replace the...
