    Fixing Up Boat Help

    Yep everytime I run the engine I have the earmuffs on with water running to them. I was able to get everything working. The blower works now and the trim is working. I was able to directly jump the solonoids and got the outdrive to go up so I know the trim pump worked so I started working on...

    Fixing Up Boat Help

    Yep I do. Last week I verified that I was getting 12 volts to the trim pump. Just didn't know what to do from there. Thank you so much for your help!

    Sounds good. Also to just make sure I am on the same page with jumping the solonoids just like a starter you basically use a piece of metal to go from the power to the solenoid to make it arc and run right? I've done it with starters before with a screw driver.

    Fixing Up Boat Help

    Yeah once I realized some of the wires weren't connected to anything the first thing I did was try to find the manuals online for the engine and outdrive with no luck. That's why I was hoping someone here would be able to help but from what I've seen it sounds like pretty much every boat is...

    Fixing Up Boat Help

    Thanks for all of your replies and advice! I do have the engine running well now. But like some of you have said that doesn't mean much. I would only be taking it on smaller lakes. There aren't very many big lakes around where I am. I would fill okay about giving it a try if I could get the trim...

    Fixing Up Boat Help

    Thanks everyone for your advice! It sounds like my best bet would be to try selling it to someone who wants a project and then taking that money and put it towards a boat that I know works.

    Fixing Up Boat Help

    Hello, I'm hoping some of you here can help me out. I've never owned a boat and know absolutely nothing about boats but always wanted one for fishing. I found someone near where I live selling a boat for $1,000 and said it hasn't been used in a couple of years so it needs a new battery and the...
