    1996 1 Ton Chevy 4x4 ABS problem... interesting one!

    Both my business trucks are 1996 chevy trucks. I am very familiar with the early Vortec engines, so I tend to stick with what I know. Besides, the new trucks are PLASTIC! :laugh: Anyhow, the 1 ton developed an interesting problem this fall. On dry pavement, the ABS will kick in at low...

    Glare/flashing problems with a new dash?

    I had to make the hole smaller, and allow for a three hole system for the rack steering, I stopped here. The ugly "WOOD LOOK" has to go! (says the admiral)

    Glare/flashing problems with a new dash?

    This is what I will be working with for my resto This is what I did with the storage box. This brings up my question. If I fabricated a hole new dash in this same fashion, would glare be a problem? It looks real cool, but that's not worth being blinded! Any thoughts on this? I'm still...

    Intermediate housing lube drain?

    1974 Cobalt, Ford 190 hp OMC w/electric shift stringer outdrive. My service manual suggests checking the fluid level, but mentions nothing about changing the lube. I've serviced both the upper and lower units, and even the tilt gearcase. I cannot however find a drain screw for the intermediate...

    What gear case lube to use?

    1974 Cobalt I/O with 190HP OMC V8. OMC outdrive to match. Electric shift stringer, right? I have heard so many different thoughts on which lube to use in the outdrive. General conscious has led me to believe that Type C lube in both the upper and lower units is the way to go. When I...

    Fish Finder Technology goes smartphone?

    Okay, so I've been poking around Ebay for a while scanning deals for a fish finder for next years fishing adventures. I know nothing about fish finders. What I am seeing trending right now, is the wifi transducer/smartphone combo up and coming! Does anybody have feedback on this? It makes...

    I bought my I/O Tri Hull '74 Cobalt last July. It had 988 hours on all the original OMC motor and Outdrive. Between then and September, I managed to get that number up around 1,020 hours. There are no leaks, no ticks, no smoke, no water in the oil/gear cases.... She starts right up, and...

    Steering cable loop?

    I've seen other comment threads regarding this, and I've heard different opinions that vary GREATLY. The cable I'm replacing in my I/O Cobalt had a large loop near the transom. At a glance, it appears this is by design as it leads to perfect alignment for transom penetration. Secondly, it...

    Old boat fans?

    Hi all, and happy New Years! I'm new to the boating world, and I have to admit... I am an ADDICT! I spent the second half of last summer pulling tubes, trolling for fish, and just hauling butt around a lake close to my house, and we love it! I bought a 1974 Cobalt Tri-Hull open bow with a...

    70's OMC Steering clam shell O-ring

    I have a 18' 1974 Cobalt open bow runabout. Great Boat! I'm updating the steering with the kit from Go2Marine which includes everything from the steering wheel to the tube that attaches to the out drive. It's my understanding however, that the kit does not contain the O ring that goes in the...
