    A few questions from a learner

    Yes it can be repaired but another thing to consider is having a spare prop handy just in case and the second prop could be pitched a little different for the skier hole-shot while the original kept for the "bass tourney boat race", and that is with all the WOT considerations and notations

    Oversized Throttle Cam Roller

    I did a search (I know generally how forums work :cool:) and this question may relate to more than just a Force outboard. The throttle cam roller I have on my 85hp Force doesn't line up as needed, moving the eccentric screw gets it close but no joy. How big of an oversize diameter of the roller...

    New Boat For Christmas

    Started the adjustments today, not a lot accomplished due to needing a new eccentric roller for the throttle gizmo. I got some more fuel hose clamps in and changed out one last hose, not sure of its function but it goes from the bottom of the air intake baffle over to the bottom of the reed...

My Uncles cruiser was...

    New Boat For Christmas

    Oh, I went looking and found this, if I didn't know better I'd swear that it was my Uncle's LoneStar boat, same color and patina, even the trailer's hubcaps were stamped and painted "LoneStar" . You can see the "wings" from the front view

    New Boat For Christmas

    Thanks stalker, she will be perfect for our needs here though the Admiral would have preferred a 'toon boat. She says that a V-hull is only going to throw her out into the water LOL

    New Boat For Christmas

    Thanks MRS, my very first boat was a '57 LoneStar I bought from an Uncle and he also had a LoneStar cruiser that looking at the bow reminded me of an airplane. My friends called my LoneStar the "Batboat" from the tailfins it had

    Which rear nav light position do I use?

    So on my 20 footer cabin cruiser, the PO installed the red and green up front, a 360 Masthead up on the hardtop and another 360 stern light on the starboard corner. Which one to be lit on the hook or tied up under a bridge ?

    New Boat For Christmas

    Greetings Yall. I got a new boat for Christmas, well it's new to me anyway, I've got it beat by a year in age and can't find much info about her. A 20-foot 1961 Albright Cabin Cruiser with an 85hp Force outboard hung on a bracket. She's in fantastic shape, good deck and transom. She's what I had...

    And Away We Go, Restarting The Rebuild

    I got my long idled restore underway again, been busy the last two weeks or so building gantries and putting up the portable garage (shade and UV protection). So far I've removed some sort of anchor anchor (crappy glass job) up in the bow and am in the process of removing the old stringer...

    Info needed please, oddball (?) sterndrive

    Hello, new here but familiar with forums. I did a search and also viewed some 60 pages of threads/posts. Here's what I have, a 270 drive that was mated (factory) to a Chrysler slant six engine. Everything is out of the boat at this time for new transom wood but what I need to know is the model...
