    Tonneau Cover

    Haven't liked any that I've seen. Wound up with a truk box / tool box, and just left the bed open.

    81 omc sterndrive

    Have you gotten a good look at the shift cable? I can see the remote was disconnected at one point in your photo. Take a look at THIS THREAD and see if that sparks any ideas. I had an electric shift which was different than what you have. I'm looking to see if I still have one of my old manuals.

    81 omc sterndrive

    No matter what - nice lookin' boat - get it working right - cheap - etc - the OMC Stringer drive has been obsolete for a long time. They're kind of a cool drive, but definitely should be thought of as an antique. They like attention in the garage, and they can be finicky. I actually liked mine...

    81 omc sterndrive

    Are you sure the cable is installed correctly in the remote (throttle)? Do you have a picture of the drive and the remote? If I've read your previous posts correctly, you've never had this boat in the water. Is that right?

    71 silverline comoro

    I don't see it on the trunion cap on in your photo, but perhaps on the other side is a hose connector? If not, some of them had a flush kit installed like this photo. if neither of those two are on the drive, then Scott's right.

    Old 1986 "Marathon" with O.M.C V8 Cobra information specs?

    Welcome aboard. You're probably spinning your wheels. Marathon was a builder back in the trailer boat days, and they've been gone for quite a while. Boats didn't have a lot of documentation on their builds (typically). Not like a car manual or anything. You're probably going to do better...

    Boats from work.

    ^^^^^ All the ripped up t-shirts we used to wear in the 1980s.

    Welcome aboard: it's going to be mostly an internet search. They've been out of business for a while. Generally, boats don't have much of a "manual" that was published by the builder. Generally speaking the rigging is not specific to the boat (in terms of manufacturer) anyway, so if you post...

    71 silverline comoro

    Well that's certainly odd. Any wires capped off under the dash? // There's no other way to do this on the Stringer: the remote doesn't have a switch for the tilt. It's a separate switch at the helm somewhere (unless for some weird reason it's in the stern - which I suppose is possible)...

    daily music fix

    Socrates is credited with originating a phrase something like "wise people eat to live, not live to eat." Kind of a statement of moderation; and it is used by health advocates all the time. Good chance the "work" statement is a variation of that phrase.

    71 silverline comoro

    That's an electric shift Stringer. The remote (throttle) has a red lever to run up the RPM in neutral, and then the throttle controller. Tilt is a separate toggle switch somewhere. Do you have any unused "holes" in the dash? Maybe it was removed? The tilt motor is way at the back of the engine...

    Forums are very slow…

    Computers and bandwidth aren't what's affecting this.

    71 silverline comoro

    Possible that the OMC doesn't have trim. It was optional with the Stringer. On my Comoro the tilt and trim were the toggles like the one left of the ignition in this photo.

    LOL ... yep ^^^^ : maybe I'm becoming "Southern" after all :) There are a couple in the area that are pretty junky. But overall, they're kind of a go-to over fast food and places like Cracker Barrel. Most of 'em are pretty clean, and the staff is usually really friendly and attentive.

    nice show...great location

    Had to track through the history of Blue Angel aircraft a couple of years ago, so I knew those planes pretty well. Looked over the birds at the same time, so I thought I caught all of their models too. But I missed the Thunderchief.

    LOL ... I'm not sure what it says about me, but I actually like both of 'em.

    RIP Norm

    "How's a beer sound, Norm?" "I dunno. I usually finish them before they get a word in." One of my favorite TV moments would be when Norm walked into Cheers. Great lines. Cheers George!
