    Suzuki High Pressure Fuel Regulator

    I'm helping a friend replace his high pressure pump on his Suzuki DF90. He originally took the boat into the shop and they found that the pump was not working. I removed the pump and found that when I apply voltage, nothing happens, so I agree, the pump is bad. However, the quote from the shop...

    Wiring Rule 20RR Replacement Livewell Pump

    Trying to replace the pump cartridge on my Rule 700gph livewell pump. Seems pretty straight forward, just want to make sure I'm not missing something. I'm getting 12v from the brown and black wire from the switch. I did a quick touch of the matching wires on the pump to make sure it would run. I...

    Worn out leaf spring?

    Recently, I just had my axle replaced because it broke. Now, when I hit a bump on the right side, the leaf spring fully extends and pops the shackle up against the trailer, so there is barely and clearance between the tire and fender. I have to jack up the trailer and ply the shackle back down...

    Melted Stator?

    I suspect I have a bad stator and I removed the flywheel to inspect it more closely. I did not realize that my stator is completely encapsulated, so it does not look like the pics I have seen online where you can see the wire coils. I see some hardened runs. Is it the stator melting inside and...

    Johnson 60 sluggish and stuttering at WOT

    I'm hoping someone here has some ideas, because I am all out. I have a 1992 Johnson 60 on a 16' Hydra-Sports center console. I cannot get on plane and my top speed is between 10 - 15 mph depending on the conditions. At WOT the engine starts stuttering and no more speed is gained. The engine...

    Water outlet T'd

    I just bought a 1992 Johnson 60hp and the water outlet is T'd off. One of the outlets goes to the pee hole, the other is open to spray inside the cowling. Is this suppose to be like that? I do not see any extra tubing floating around that could have came off the connection.

I don't have any experience with fiberglassing yet, so I don't know if there are differences between resin brands Mod EDIT. Link removed, iboats carries resins. Please dont post links to...

    Water Jacket Rust

    I have a lot of rust in my water jacket that I plan to treat. My question is what can I do afterward to prevent, or slow down, the recurrence of more rust? I'm thinking of dumping paint inside, rotating the block to cover everything, then dumping the excess.

Currently, my plan is to use fiberglasssite.com, which is located in MD. I'm originally from MD, so...

    Re-awaken a 165hp I-6

    I just purchased my first boat. It was sitting for a few years due to a incomplete transom repair. Supposedly, the boat ran great before then. I planned on changing the fluids and flushing the motor. What else should I do before I try to start the engine?

    1974 Grady Transom Repair

    ​I just bought my first boat, a 1974 GW 184 Rogue. It needs a new transom, which I knew before I bought it. The previous owner already took out the old rotted wood and never got around to finishing the job. I've done a lot of research and I am comfortable with the repair, but I overlooked one...
