    95 Four winns 5.8L OMC Cobra

    none of the fuel injection parts are available. so when it breaks, you have to convert to carb. Ford went out of the marine business about the time your boat was new. OMC went out of business probably as they were pushing your boat out the building. we normally tell people avoid ford and...

    what to use to line ski locker

    When I had an early boat with a ski locker, I had glued in carpet that was changed to glued in urethane sheet. SeaRay had a light grey/off white rubber grid-like mat like you would find in a shower EVA (like seadeck) would probably work well. line-x works well too

    Are you ready to puke?

    Remember, the stringers rotted years before the floor. Long before plywood and screws, you need to build a cradle, buy a bunch of tyvek suits, and cut out all the rotten stuff and grind ... grind....grind

    Battery switch not starting on 1, starting fine on 2 and All

    I would tend to think that your battery on #1 is dead or has a bad connection. have you had the battery load tested? are the connections clean enough for your mother-in-law to eat off them?

    are the valve stems the same height. that is what the rocker arm cares about whats wrong with the cam and lifters in the motor? me, personally would take the heads in, get a refresh and upgrade the springs and valve seals prior to swapping a bump stick.
