    Water intrusion

    I have a 350 chevy /OMC Stringer. I put the boat in the shop to have the impeller replaced and the next trip out I noticed water in my bilge. I accumulate around 3 to 5 agllons in a 6 hour trip. I asked the shop if there was any likelyhood that something may have been overlooked. The old guy...

    Hull Ispection and Repair

    I have a 37 year old Slickcraft SS235 V-hull. The floor, transom and motor well are all solid. The fuel tank is centered on the floor and runs from the motor box forward to the well at the helm.

    Blowing Parking Trailer lamp fuses

    I have an 02 Suburban that keeps blowing TLR/parking lamp fuses. When hooking up my trailer lights I noticed I had no running/tail lights. I did the usual check under the wiring receptacle as this was a nasty looking dealer install on the towing package. I find everything working except running...

    Timing Marks

    Engine is 350 cid chevy. The manual calls for 8deg before TDC however when I put on the timing light my marks are way over to say the eleven o'clock position and even 10deg. will stall out. The motor was installed prior to purchase. The old motor was a 307 I believe. I know there are several...

    86 50hp Jet

    I'm having intermittant starting issues. Pisser is pissing normal, doesn't seem to be running hot or anything. occaisionally I'll get a faint click but no start. I run this boat in sub zero ambient temps in 30 to 35 degree water so a breakdown could be a real problem. Any thoughts?

    How long is too long?

    I accidentally ran my 2 stroke 20 hp kicker for about 5 to 7 seconds without water. Seems weird to hear but yes, I was tilting my O/B forward with the switch left on and I bumped the start switch. Normally it takes a second or two to start but I had just had it running and it fired up and ran a...

    Fuel Tank- Cleaning Suggestions

    I have a 80 gallon fuel tank with rust in it. I bought the boat and the guy said he left it empty to keep fuel from going bad as he bought a new boat and never used the old one much. I'm curious if any one has any suggestions on removing the rust from the tank. Tank can be removed from the boat.
