    Hello! I have a 1996 Lund Tyee Gran Sport 1850. I have the motor out as it is being replaced. I am therefore wondering if it’s worth it to reseal what I can now get at in my transom? It is seemingly in good condition, screw test comes back good so I am wondering if there is any value in polying...

    1996 4.3 Mercruiser water in my oil? Hoping not!

    So I bought the boat in June. Checked oil on dip stick and it looked good. Checked oil fill and it looked ok. Didn’t do a compression check. I did look at the motor and not rusty or obvious cracks. Doesn’t over heat, can get 41mph at 4400 rpm. Rubs and starts ok. Took the boat out 6 times...

    I am in big trouble. I don't understand how this happens repeatedly to us starcraft owners. I mean, deep down we are good people, with honest beliefs and great intentions, so why do they punish us like this: http://duluth.craigslist.org/boa/2560440622.html I am in trouble, 6 foot-itis is...

    Like no other!

    Just wanted to say I am amazed at this community! I bounced around, out of curiosity, today looking at other boat forums and NONE compare to the SC forums! Largest number of thread count I could find was in the 439 number in the glastron section. NOTHING LIKE OUR 1888 thread count! This...

    1982 90HP Outboard compression numbers - Eh?

    So my 82 90HP Johnson seems to have stutter issues from dead stop and at times dies going in to gear. Read that could be compression issues ( amongst other potentials...) so I borrowed a compression tester. The numbers are: Left - 58, 58. Right - 38, 0. OMG!!! What!? I'm not sure I am doing...

    Hell Yes I did it!

    Good Day everyone! Good to see your typing fingers again! UPDATE: I took a long siesta this winter as my boat was in storage and I was severly depressed. Decided I had to "forget about it" or I'd wind up in some sort of mental recovery institution before the ice melted! Anyways, I am back...

    Good Day! So my '82 90HP Johnson OB is leaking gearcase oil from the prop area. Checked it out externally for cracks and found none. When I emptied it out last fall for storage there was milky oil and water in lower unit, so I knew I had a leak issue coming into the spring. When I got the...

    1979 Evinrude 115HP compatible with 1982 Johnson 90HP?

    I have a 1982 Johnson 90HP with a bad cylinder. 3 cylinders measure out at 115 compression and the fourth is 75. Had a marine mechanic look at it, that I trust, and he said likely not just gaskets and rings but will need bore and refit or sleeving. I found a 1979 Evinrude 115HP that I could...
