Good day everyone,
I've come into a 1986 bayliner capri. -- it was a interior nightmare, but fully gutted now (another story)
I cleaned up the electrical, and was moving towards the outboard, which actually is in really great shape considering the age.
Anyway the Tilt is fried, and I've removed it. I've looked for replacements but it's unclear what I'm getting, it seems all the replacements parts sierra, arco, do not inclue the bottom of the unit where all the tubes connect into,.. is this normal? I do have the serial number, so if the bottom part of my power trim is ok, the replacement should simply screw into my old one? .. seems strange. which is why I'm asking here.
Next the spark plugs do not have the Ground Electrode, or insulator tip... It's like they were shaved flat at the bottom of the threads.. I have NEVER seen that before? Is that normal?... Each plug was very loose too I expected them to be seized tight but they were finger loose and came out easily; needless to say all four have to be replaced.
Any response is appreciated, and Happy Holiday All.
