    1990 Bluewater

    I just bought a 18 foot 1990 Bluewater. Not sure of the model, but it is an open bow with a 5.7 merc I/O. Eagle maybe. The hull is pristene, hardly a scratch, even on the keel. The interior has been converted to more of a fishing boat with pedestal seats and the wiring of accessories leaves...

    Vertical Trolling Batteries?

    I have dual trolling batteries that I want to replace. Unfortunately, my current batteries are small and fit we around my outdrive trim pump and I want bigger batteries that don't fit. Does anyone know of a battery tray/box that will let me stack batteries vertically? Thanks!

    Wiring Questions

    I am looking into re-wiring my boat. I have a 18 foot Bluewater, with an I/O, electric trolling motor, 2 fish finders and a few minor aftermarket accessories. I will leave the stock wiring alone (gauges, ignition switch, blower, etc) except for the nav lights which are either wired wrong or...

    Starting Battery Discharges While Running

    I just boat a used boat with mercruider i/o. It is equiped with an alternator and that is hooked up to the starting battery, theoretically. I haven't verified. I took it out for the first time today and it ran great. When I picked it up the previous owner stated he hadn't taken it out in a...

    Motor Starting Tips

    I have a late sixties/early seventies Evinrude 18hp Fastwin outboard that I bought about 5 years ago. The guy i bought it from rebuilt outboards as a hobby and had gone through the engine thoroughly. It started consistantly on the first pull (no electric start) everytime the few times I used...

    No Spark??

    OK, I have the Sea King from an earlier post. After closer inspection, it looks as if all the ignition parts are new. New rotor, cap, points and a lot of new wiring. Everything appears to be OK, but I get no spark. Assuming the plug wires and plugs are OK, could the timing be off?<br />Could...

    Sea King V4 60 HP

    I am not sure of the year of this motor, but I know it is OMC (Gale). I am hoping a similar Johnson/Evinrude exists. My model number is GG8850A. I would like to know what year it is and if a similar J/E model was made.<br /><br />Now, the motor won't turn over. It cranks but will not fire...
