    Thickened polyester or epoxy for rebonding hull-deck joingt

    I have some separation of the hull and deck on a McKee craft foam filled hull. I think the original adhesive probably set incorrectly, and now around the whole boat there is around a 3/16" gap. I've attached a cross section below. I think I need to fill the gap then put a strip of glass tape...

    Meltdown after resleeve. Machinist fault? What should I expect?

    Hey guys. After what seemed to be a successful rebuild, I took my OMC 115 crossflow out to the lake today. After about 15 minutes of fast idle and 3500 RPM, the boat loses power, warning horn comes on, I shut down immediately. We take it home, do some testing and pull the heads. Ends up #2...

    1994 V4 Crossflow mystery hose!

    We have just finished a rebuild of a 1994 OMC 115. When we initially took everything apart, we broke a little brass T connector. Apparently some of the hoses connecting to the T connector were discarded.<br /><br />Anyway, we have a short 4" piece coming from the block off a 1/16" nozzle. The...

    Woops! Chopped rope into cylinder! What now?

    Hey guys! I have a 1994 OMC v4 115.<br /><br />I was taking someone's advice (from here actually) on how to take my flywheel off in order to change the rectifier.<br /><br />The advice was to take out a spark plug and feed rope in the cylinder in order to stop the piston from coming up all of...

    94 OMC 115 stator or rectifier going out?

    Ever since I bought this thing I've had a problem at WOT. After about 5 minutes it immediately cuts from 5200 RPM to 4700 RPM and won't run higher for the rest of the day, except for occasional bursts up to 5200 RPM.<br /><br />I thought it was a fuel problem at first and completely reworked the...

    OMC turbojet 115 gear *banging*

    Hey guys,<br /><br />I just got a whaler rage 15 with an OMC turbojet 115 engine. At higher RPMs it seems to run fairly smooth, but around idle it sounds like it is going to explode!<br /><br />It sounds like the banging is coming from the gearbox. It is even bogging the engine down when it...

    94' OMC 115 loses power after first 5 minutes

    After the first 5 minutes of the day cruising on full throttle (which is needed to even plane on a bw rage 15 jet), my engine revs drop from around 5200 to 4700 RPM. After the initial drop it seems like every 2 minutes or so I get the short boost of power backup to 5200 RPM but then quickly...
