    No fast idle/throttle cable adjustment

    I have discovered that the fast idle setting doesn't move the throttle on the motor. Without bypassing the shifter, the throttle doesn't start to move until the throttle is pushed almost 90* from the neutral position. I wasn't able to attempt to go to WOT on the water the other day due to the...

    Sea Weasel floats!

    Re: Sea Weasel floats! I don't have a lot of pix, but here are a few. You'll have to figure out which are "before" and which are "after." :D The motor is an '87 Force 85 HP with PTT.

    Sea Weasel floats!

    After more than 5 years of ownership, I finally splashed today. Frankly, I was a bit nervous as I basically hung a motor I got from eBay about 4 years ago. All I did to it was replace the fuel pump diaphragm and water pump. It ran fine on muffs, but as we all know, that's no guarantee i will...

    Strange navigation behavior

    Firefox 22. When I click on the "Previous Thread" button, I end up in some thread well below where I should be. I've logged out, deleted all cookies for all of iboats.com, but the problem persists. IE 10 appears to be behaving properly, but I REALLY don't want to have to use it. Any ideas?

    The owners manual for my motor has a section about emergency starting using a rope. However, it doesn't specify the diameter and length the rope should be. Anyone have this info?

    Automatic links?

    I just replied to a post and my reply had a link ("fuel tank") that I did NOT insert. I have been noticing this in others' replies but just figured they did it deliberately. I have no problem linking to iboats sales area (I do it myself whenever I am suggesting a purchase), but I'm curious about...

    Essential instruments. what do you have?

    Re: Essential instruments. what do you have? I have a tach, speedometer, fuel gauge, and voltmeter, along with my flush-mounted chartplotter/fishfinder. I did the gauges before deciding to mount the chartplotter flush. If I were doing it over, I would eliminate the speedometer and buy a bigger...

    Planing a Bayliner Capri

    Re: Planing a Bayliner Capri Strange. I wonder if you have the original capacity plate. Capacity plates don't have the HIN on them, and AFAIK, the 87-89 models were virtually identical, and I know these were rated for 85 HP (not that the 5 HP difference really matters a whole lot). NADA appears...

    Missing capacity plate

    Re: Missing capacity plate Welcome to iboats!:cool: Your boat is indeed a '76, and the manufacturer was required to affix a capacity plate to it. However, you, as the owner, are not required to have one. However, in order to be safe on the water, you do need to know what those capacities are...
