    It Lives!

    I got this little motor from a CL add a couple months ago for $300. It's an '84 Johnson 6 horse. Just got done rebuilding the carb and water pump the other night and I just had to try it out. It took about 20 minutes of nursing to get it running smoothly, but she seems to be doing fine now...

    Question about kill switch removal on 1984 6hp seahorse

    I picked up an old 6 hp seahorse, and I'm currently in the cleaning and disassembly mode. As you can see in the third picture, the throttle cable has worn the hole in the lower housing pretty severely. As part of the fix, I want to pull the throttle cable and the kill switch wires so I can do...

    Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

    Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist. Funny, this showed up in the Boats section of our local CL today. http://eastidaho.craigslist.org/boa/2880783913.html

    To Gel, or not to Gel...

    I've been going over my new (to me) old boat putting together my Spring fix-it list. It appears that the PO has done enough beaching that he's rubbed off the gel-coat on the keel, just behind the bow. It looks to be just through the gel coat and getting near, but not into, the outer mat...

    1965 Evinrude 9.5

    I've been looking for a decent kicker for my 19 foot Bayliner, and a local guy has a 1965 Evinrude 9.5 for $300. Is this a reasonable price for a good condition motor? Any caveats on this brand and vintage? Thanks, Carl

    Safety Plugs

    Has anyone tried the Seasense safety garboard plugs? They look like a standard garboard plug with a one-way ball to keep water from coming back into the boat. Seems like a good idea for those of us who occasionally are subject to "senior moments".

    Minor hull repairs (I hope)

    I have a couple of questions on minor hull repair that I wanted to post to see if I've got a clue or not. I bought an older Bayliner about a month ago, and I've been going over it to see what needs work (1993, so I expect on a few projects...). We're going to be on relatively sheltered water...

    New Owner of 93 Bayliner, Questions about Outdoor Winter Storage

    Hi everyone, After lurking on a number of forums for several months, watching Craigslist and few other sites for about a year, we finally bought our first motorboat a couple of weeks ago(93 Bayliner 1952 Cuddy Classic, 3.0 Merc I/O). I do have to say that this forum was a great help. We...

    Thank You i-boats

    I'd just like to say that this forum is amazing. I just bought my first powerboat yesterday, 1993 Bayliner 1952 classic cuddy, Mercruiser 3.0. As we were hooking up our new (to us) boat, the old owner mentioned "the up trim button doesn't work, but I just use the trailer button"... After...

    Another Newbie Boat Buyer

    Hello Everyone, I'm currently looking to buy my first powerboat (I've always been a sailing type of guy, but the wife and kids want something faster). I'd like to hear some opinions from people who've been more into power boats. What I'm really looking for is a basic all around boat for...
