    Not sure, the boss just ordered it and handed it to me. This was 10 years ago at a different shop I used to work at, which is gone now.

    Bottom cylinder sounds bad 1997 evinrude 3 cylinder

    Had one in the shop, the boss had overhauled it, sold it. It came back blown up again. The middle cylinder both times. He had me tear it down ti investigate, At first I didn't see anything that stood out. As I was re-assembling I was looking at the flywheel and the timing ring didn't look right...

    Reverse Polarity and no battery charge related?

    Yes. Disconnect the hard wiring from the devices. Turning off the breakers doesn’t work.

    Reverse Polarity and no battery charge related?

    Weird. Usually find it with the cord itself or a dock pedestal. Could be the boat itself, We have found a common place is a water heater either wired incorrectly or the element is starting to go south even though it still works. To find it you have to actually disconnect the wires from the...

    1970s winday day cruise foam core deck

    I prefer to use the top layer as it’s already made to fit and helps keep the original look. if you have to re-do the edges of the cut you can just blend it in like a non skid 1-2” wide strip around it.

    Cold engine despite running for a while. Water entering bilge

    Rust chips will be all over the cooling system. Inside the block also. Only way to get most of them out is to remove the core plugs and flush the heck out of the block itself.

    1970s winday day cruise foam core deck

    If at all possible, some decks are screwed down. I prefer to remove and do the work from the bottom side. Thats if it's screwed down. Hope it is for you!

    Tips On Replacing Starter

    Tie a string/small rope to it. Tie off the rope and it’ll hold it up so you can remove and install the bolts.

    I was over due for this to happen.

    Have to figure out how the water got in there. Portable cans have a vent on the cap, it lets water in if left open. My neighbors pontoon had water issues twice. Got it all cleaned out and told them to close the vent when done for the day. Two weeks later, same thing. They left the cap loose and...

    Stupid me, no oil

    Had a leak on the intake myself. Had the heads re-done and they milled them flat. I used the end gaskets for the intake that came with the kit. Turns out when you shave the heads, the gasket is too thick. It squished out. My fix was to remove the remains of the gasket without removing the intake...

    Tips On Replacing Starter

    That video was a bit funny. On a 120-140 it's easier than a v-8. I've taken and tied a 1/4" line to starters, drug them through the bilge after cleaning the bilge and pulled the starter up in place with the string. Then lay on your belly and screw around getting the bolts in. Never had to pull a...
