    Anyone have a spare one of these?

    Don't know if this post is against forum rules, and if it gets deleted, I can assume it's not allowed. I bought a rail-mount flag pole, and it works on 7/8" & 1" rails, by way of a plastic insert. But I lost my insert, or it didn't come with one :(. The retailer is out of the pole kit (closing...

    Plug Wires

    I have a '94 Force 70hp, and was wondering if there is a specific plug wire set I would need, or, can I use a different o/b set? There is a marine parts store near me that has various 6-cyl sets on clearance for $2-$4, and I was thinking it would be a good excuse to put some new ones in, and...

    Sound deadener?

    The original sound deadening foam insulation in my cover has deteriorated to the point that it's gone. The engine isn't unbearably loud, but I'd like to try and quiet it down a bit. Someone here mentioned they used some 1/4" insulation board they got at one of the home improvement stores, but I...

    Starting voltage?

    I have a '94 Force 70hp, and my fishfinder has a low voltage alarm that I can set. What is the minimum setting you'd recommend, and/or what is the minimum voltage needed to start this engine? Thanks!

    Speed approximations please... :)

    Two too many FishFinders

    In a weird, planet-aligning way, I just got 3 brand new, in the box fishfinders, and no, I didn't win any of them on an auction site, or buy them online. Only one boat, so I only need one. My question is, of the following, which would you choose for your boat/needs, and why? Garmin 400c (no...

    Physical pulse?

    I was told today that if you put your hand on a transducer (wet hand if out of water), you can feel the pulse of the signal. Is there any truth as far as you know? If it's true, I need a new transducer...:(

    ....and yet another FF/transducer Q

    Old transducer bracket was broken and removed by previous owner. Ok. To test, I hung the ducer in the water, and seemed to work (depth was way off, but I attributed that to angle). New bracket installed, ducer on, now I get no depth readings. Always says its 0 (zero) feet, and nothing else on...

    Tampa Bay Area; Haven't a clue..

    So I grew up fishing off Long Island on my dad's 24' Searay, and we would fish everywhere from East Rockaway, LI to Shrewsberry Rocks, NJ, and catch everything we could. I always had a blast. I recently moved to the Tampa Bay FL area, after having lived (without boating or fishing in 15 yrs.)...

    Tank switching?

    Hi all. I recently bought a 16' Bayliner Capri, and it had two portable fuel tanks, a 6.5g, and a 3g. On our maiden voyage, we topped off the tanks, and headed out for a short run (about 10 miles round trip). Well, that didn't go so well, as it seems the gas that was in the tanks was either bad...

    Tachometer Install '94 70hp

    So I bought a Teleflex tach for my 1994 Bayliner Capri 1604, which has the original Force 70hp. Installation instructions say to connect the sending wire to any yellow wire. I do not have a block that I can connect to, or if I do, I don't see it anywhere. Do they really mean any yellow wire...

    Bimini Top Measurements

    Where do you measure for the rail width? I ask because my beam is 6'11" (83") (widest point I understand that), but the bimini top selector on iboats says I need the 73"-78". Ok, but my current cockpit cover rails are only 68" wide. I was thinking I could just fit the new bimini where the...
