I was pulling up to the dock to let the wife out to go get the trailer, when I heard the lifeguard over the bullhorn say, "HEY, YOU, BRING YOUR BOAT OVER HERE." Luckily he was talking to the guy 50 foot from me in a large very...

    76 OMC Electric Shift Comes out of Gear

    I just got my drive back together after replacing the forward clutch spring. Took it to the local lake, and when I got out of the no wake zone I throttled it. The bow started to rise and when it hit about 2000 rpm it settled back into the water as if it was in neutral. I did this probably 30...
