I got all the bolts out and the assembly won't come out, not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can get to two of the trim motor bolts but I can't get to the bolt in the back corner.

What is the easiest way to do this? Not trying to take the engine off... Looks like I can take the whole "assembly" out by removing the bolts on the side. TIA!!

Is the primer bulb getting hard? I'm wondering why you are having to continuously pump it. It wouldn't hurt to check the fuel pump diaphragm for a hole/tear as you mentioned. Are the darker plugs on the side of the engine that has the fuel pump? Check that spark jumps 3/8" as another poster...

We took it out today, the tilt pin was too high. With me it got up to 18.8mph... It is going to need an impeller though. The buzzer came on when I got back to the dock when it was idling for a few minutes.

130psi x 2.

He "said" he turned it off right away and afterwards it cooled down it ran fine and was pumping. The next trip is when it was really slow and the alarm went off when he got back to the boat ramp. He said it was pumping fine. I did the above checks on it Monday, it's pumping fine but on muffs...

I can't believe that I left out the most important piece of information, I guess I was really tired. He got an overheat alarm at idle the two trips prior to this happening? Can a head gasket leak water when compression is good?

It's pulls up as .052", could you could drill a smaller one out? Edit: Here's a clip of someone hand drilling one:

Working in my friends boat and I'm stumped. He has a Carlolina Skiff J16 and was getting 18mph by himself at about 4500-4700 rpm. I believe the pitch is too high,13p. But it got up on plane etc... Boat will only hit 10mph now with just him. It doesn't bog, chug, or sputter. It's smooth, it's...

I got the carrier out but the bearing on the back of it stayed in along with the prop shaft and reverse gear, they won't pull out. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Dod you mess with the float height/check float height before reassembling? I literally just had to take my friend's 25hp carb back apart after doing a rebuild kit (flooding, primer bulb not getting hard). Float was too high, runs like a top now!

Can I use a long jaw puller to get the carrier/spool out. I can't find any specific videos for the year. Is the prop shaft pressed into the spool? Thanks.

2cyl, J25EEED. Diaphragm replaced/fuel pump kit done along with carb kit. Spark jumps 7/16-3/8". Can't find compression tester. Impeller fairly new, pump's great.

Friend's boat died last trip, towed him in with mine. It was flooding, primer bulb wouldn't get hard. Did carb rebuild kit and primer bulb is good now. Took out today, adjusted mixture screw at ramp, baseline is 2 & 1/2 turns from seated. Found the sweet spot about 1/8 to 1/4 turn...

Please move if in wrong section... I just bought a 1995 Key West 1900 DC. It has a 60 gallon poly tank and the fuel gauge goes out intermittently. I noticed that there was a small puddle of water on the tank when inspecting. I soaked it up with a towel and the gauge started working again. One...

We got it pumping. The copper water tube wasn't connected leg side (he just bought the boat). We're gonna relace that spacer #64.

Helping a friend with his water pump it's not pumping water we're gonna put the lower unit in a tub spin it with a drill. Then try to book a hose up to the legside and see what happens. Also I crushed that colar between the water pump and leg one that goes around the driveshaft can anybody tell...

How much water can a fuel tank accumulate? I seem to have A LOT!! I'm doing the floor on my boat right now so I figure let me see how the tank looks.... I've been using external tanks since I bought it about 7+ years ago because it's old (78') and didn't know the history of its use. I'm willing...

Does anyone have experience with new old stock ignition parts? I'm looking at a couple of power packs and they look really old, like 20ish years or more. My first thought would be to shy away from them but I'm in this "boat" because I have a bad power pack that is just under a year old. It's an...
