    Force 50 won't restart...

    This motor runs fine, but after it's been running for a while it won't restart. It doesn't die out, just if you turn the key off it won't restart. It's not getting any spark, so my guess is something is heating up in the ignition system. Anybody have any thoughts that may help?

    Packing drive shafts

    Ok, this is my first boat with inboards and while it's out for the winter i wanted to repack the shafts and rudders. The rudders are pretty clear cut, you see the packing nuts and will be a breeze to do. The shafts on the other hand are different. The have no visible nut, but instead a rubber...
