    1972 Silverline Comoro 17T / 165 OMC

    In August of 1959 Moorhead Plastics began producing two boats: the austere "Free Way" fishing boat and the sporty "Silver Line" runabout. By 1960 when the sales brochures were printing, the branding of the company had become Sliver Line boats by Moorhead plastics, and over the course of the 60s...

    Anybody tried this grease out?

    I've heard this stuff: is a lot better than this stuff: Let me know what your experience has been. (Playing with pictures and thought I'd do it in a fun way :D )

    Issues posting images

    I've been having that exact problem for days. I can see the images fine on my machine in the thread after posted, but everyone else says they can't see 'em. Here's an image upload using the icon in the upper right of the post pane:

    1972 Silverline Comoro 16T restoration

    Re: 1972 Silverline Comoro 16T restoration Hey guys: HERE's a good spot for Silverline information. Original literature is available down at the bottom. Plus there's a few of us who own 'em over HERE. I think this is the Nautilux Bondo is talking about (that's what's in my boat and is still...

    Adequate cooling for running engine in boat yard

    Re: Adequate cooling for running engine in boat yard If that's on the same drive set on your other post: check the sterndrives for a hose fitting like in this photo. That's a fitting that runs water both down the drive to the impeller and up into the engine. It was optional, so some drives...

    have a 76 silver line with omc 302 ford tilt won't work

    Re: have a 76 silver line with omc 302 ford tilt won't work If you have a Comoro, it's best to remove the engine cover and the seat to the port side / right (as you're facing the stern from inside). The tilt motor will be way back at the transom, down low just like Boom said at the base of the...

    Swim Platform Materials

    Re: Swim Platform Materials So ... Haven't really had to work with marine sealer around things like the brackets. I pretty much looked like a Harvey Korman / Tim Conway sketch. Will probably have to clean that up again later (looks like the abominable snowman sneezed on my transom), but it'll...

    Swim Platform Materials

    Re: Swim Platform Materials Well to update: I've got things mostly done. A buncha' sanding (but no where near as bad as I was thinking). I had some repairs to do, and did wind up getting hold of some teak pieces pretty cheap and easy. I've treated it 3 times with teak oil over two weeks...

    Swim Platform Materials

    Re: Swim Platform Materials Thought I'd revisit and update this a little. I did take the deck apart over the winter and I had some time to start working on it today. I'm going to try to finish the sanding up this week and start the varnish. I'm planning on being on the water in April, but I...

    Wallpaper and Drywall

    Hey guys: I need some suggestions from the home repair/improvement experts. Several rooms in our house were wallpapered when we purchased it (15 years ago). We didn't care for the wallpaper and went to pull it down several years back and figured out that the original owners papered right onto...

    1977 Cobalt 19BR

    Re: 1977 Cobalt 19BR Mine's a straight 6, but it's located here: you can just see it peaking out in the middle left side beside the electrical harness connections. Mine was originally propped with a 14x16 or 14x18. Some info at the same site I sent you to before HERE. If you're at Travis...

    Need a photo paint wizard for interior design

    Re: Need a photo paint wizard for interior design I think the white may be a little too much - If you're going to do the bulk of the interior in white, then it would work. But if you're going to lean more on the black and yellow look the boat already has, I'd work in yellow and shades of grey...

    More Navy flyin' - tribute to the Blues of old

    Re: More Navy flyin' - tribute to the Blues of old Yeah, that initial belch of smoke and then the monster roars. We got a chance to work with the CAF last year, and see several of their planes up close. Including FIFI: I got to climb all over inside (WOW), and almost got a ride on board but...

    More Navy flyin' - tribute to the Blues of old

    Since I was pokin' fun at the Navy fliers a little earlier (over in Volphin's thread) , here's an olive branch and a raised glass to the fine fliers of the U.S. Navy and their excellent birds: Blues Bearcat Web Video I've gotten to work with the Blues one time and very much enjoyed it. I...
