Re: boat repair

You might specify what type of boat work. Fiberglass, mechanical, electronics, etc.

Re: boat repair

try craigslist.

If no luck, post that you are looking for someone.

Just check them out before you let them work on your boat.

Re: boat repair

I’m thinking that i need my carb cleaned. It has a hard time starting when cold. Also when we were on the lake when i give it full throttle it Boggs down. I have work on small engine carbs but never a car or inboard carb. Are they hard to clean? Is there any post that would help me through a cleaning?

Re: boat repair

I would try the carb rebuild section of the service manual...
