    Another 4.3 to 5.7 swap - need to get my facts straight

    Heyl there. I recently bought a 1990 Four Winns Freedom 190 with a 4.3 that has been ambiguously diagnosed with a cracked block by the previous owner. Externally the engine appears to be very clean. The motor was started to be disassembled when I got it. The distributor was out. The right...

    1989 Force L-Drive with 85 hp Force intermittent, weak spark

    Hello again, I have my engine all rebuilt and together. However while hooking up the rectifier I snapped off one of the studs. In my hurry to get this thing on the water I stopped at Radio Shack and picked up a full wave rectifier. It's a 12V and I don't recall the amperage. Something like 30...

    Rebuilt my 1989 85 Force and just need to know where a couple wires go...

    Here are the pictures. These two black/yellow come down off the coil pack area. This one I may have found... choke for the carbs? I'm assuming this one goes on the near by connector, but which one and what other one connect to it, I don't know. This one is up by the stator As well...

    Rebuilding my 89 Force 85 hp... connecting rod bearing question.

    I tore down the motor, then it didn't get back from the machine shop until after I got back from vacation. Soooo my problem is I forgot what exactly the crank bearing surface uses for a bearing. I have new needles, but am I missing something to retain them... keep them under the connecting rod...

    1989 Force 85hp Rebuild Question (case is at the machine shop)

    As the title says I need some specs for my 89 85 hp motor. I have a set of 0.0030 over pistons for my engine, but I need the spec for the spacing between the piston and bore. Any other specs would be greatly appreciated as I have nothing. Thanks

    Replacing 85 hp Force L-Drive w/ 125 Force - Can it be done?

    I ask because I burned up the 3 cylinder on it's first trip on the water. The 4 cylinder looks to be the same bolt pattern and there is a 4 cylinder L-Drive if I recall. I realize with the 4 cylinder there will be a clearance problem with the cover (that will be addressed when I get there), but...

    First ride in the boat - had to paddle back

    I got an 89 Capri with the L-Drive 3 cylinder 2 cycle from a friend that needed a few repairs with the carpeting and other upholstery. I ran the boat for a little bit with the prop submersed in a container of water. It seemed to idle fine and everything, when I would throttle it up it...

    Wanting to pick up an older Capri, but am cautious...

    I have a friend with an 17' 1989 Bayliner Capri. It has a 3 cylinder inboard two stroke engine. First off I can't find any information about it. Secondly, I'd like to swap at 2.3L Ford in it - which was an optional engine for the boat. Is anyone familiar with this engine?
