    Looking for to-outboard cable wiring diagram for an 86 Capri 19' bowrider....

    I'm putting an Evenrude 115 on this boat.... I have wiring info for the connector on the new motor, but none to tell me which wires in the cable/plug coming back from the helm are which.... Essentially, I'm looking for info that will let me know what wires (coming out of the helm-side-rear of...

    115hp crossflow Evinrude - Is there a way to move the trim pump?

    I'm mounting this motor on a 19ft Bayliner Capri... The boat has a very narrow motor mounting area on the transom, and the motor cannot be properly centered with the tilt/trim pump mounted in it's current position (sticking out the left side of the mounting bracket).... Can the pump be moved...

    Merc 888, Prestolite to Oildyne tilt/trim pump

    A leak in the tilt/trim and a non-functional reverse-lockout have prompted me to replace my tilt/trim pump. I got an 'Oildyne' type pump (SAE J1711 or something like that) from Ebay, which has 4 hoses coming off of it (it has 2 connections on the front, which then each have a brass 'block' that...

    Merc 888 and winter....

    Ok, this boat has not been in the water since about July. However, being the old 888 drive, it's (of course) a direct water cooled engine (no antifreeze during normal op)... I don't want to crack the block, etc... The thing is after reading the stickies above this page, and the manual... I...

    fuel issue (clogging)

    Ok... I seem to have a problem with the gas tank on my boat... Specifically, the pickup plugs up... I say 'the pickup plugs up' because i have a primer-bulb from an outboard on the fuel line back by the engine, and when this 'issue' happens, the engine stalls and the primer bulb is sucked...

    Merc 888 - Phantom trim leak

    Ok... Simple enough - I've gotten all the other stuff on my boat working, EXCEPT for this $!%#$ trim leak... The problem? Well, the trim rams & pump work fine, the drive goes up & down... But cycling it through one 'up' and 'down' motion results in dumping an entire res full of ATF...

    Mercruiser 888 Timing - No Start

    Ok... Setup is an 888/302 with a HEI distributor off E-bay... Firing order was messed up when I got the boat, I am trying to fix it... Problem? It appears that the timing marks are no longer present on the balancer pulley, and I have no way in hell of locating #1 TDC with the engine...

    Evenrude 'Starflite 90' steering conversion issue

    Well, this all started with a 'free' Fiberform 17' - that's how I got the StarFlite 90... Now I have another free hull (this one has no rot, but came w/o motor)... Which I am transplanting all the 'stuff' from the FiberForm into (Scrapping said boat, unless someone comes to get it (put it on...

    17' Fiberform & Transom Rot (??)

    Ok, I got a 'free' (we all know how that goes) 17' fiberform boat... I spent $250 to get it running, and put it in the water yesterday... Result was (A) it does run properly, and (B) I noticed a small/slow leak coming from the motor-mount area... Specifically, from the lower edge of a thick...

    90hp StarFlite + 100hp StarFlite bottom... Works, but some questions...

    You may remember my StarFlite thread - I had a dead 100hp with a good bottom-end, and a line on a running 90hp with a bad transmission.... Well, I sucessfully did the swap... The 100 bottom-end bolts on perfectly (although it is MUCH bigger, with a MUCH bigger prop - same length, just...

    Got a 17' fiberform 'free' - info please...

    17' boat, came with a 100hp Evenrude outboard, which was siezed... I've replaced that with a 90hp, and with my motor issues 'clear' (AFIK) it's time to start asking boat questions.. The boat in question is a 1969 17' closed-bow... There is no 'floor' so to speak - the hull has been halfway...

    Starflite 100S bottom end on Starflite 90S powerhead/exhaust housing

    My boat came with a dead (idiot left it out disassembled in the weather) StarFlite 100S motor... I picked up a StarFlite 90S for $250, running, with a damaged lower end (lower will not shift into forward - you get a 'click' when voltage is applied, but the gears do not engage... Reverse and...

    Old Evenrude Question - StarFlite 90 and 100 - lower ends interchange?

    Just wondering if they do... I've got a pretty screwed up StarFlite 100 (67???), and while I am looking at what it will take (if it's possible) to make the thing run again without major investment, I've also possibly got a line on a running '63 StarFlite 90, with lower end problems (won't go...

    Just picked up a boat with a "StarFlite 100 S' evenrude outboard - help please

    Ok, I'm 100% new to boat motors, but I do have mechanical experience working on motorcycle engines (spec old Suzukis)... I just picked up a 'free' boat with the aforementioned motor... The boat seems to be in good shape, although the interior needs cleaning/painting - it's been sitting a...
