Hey guys,
Does this B stamped on my drive next to the serial number mean anything? I only noticed it this off-season when I pulled my drive for the winter because it was covered by the decal which finally gave up. It was not stamped thru the decal like the serial number, it was only visible...
Hey guys I have what I think is a mercruiser r drive that came on my boat when I bought it, the motor in the boat is the original 89 2.5l 120hp. I know it's not original to the boat but it worked fine after I resealed the upper. I got a season and a half and a lot of hours out of it before it...
Hey guys, last night while I was running about 3000rpm my boat kinda fell flat on its face. I backed off the throttle and then slowly eased back up on plane and it seemed fine so I anchored up at my fishing spot for a bit. On my way back to the slip it did the same thing but this time it stalled...
Hey guys, has anyone ever ordered from marinevinylfabric.com? I found their website and they offer various colors of marine vinyl for $7 yd, I'm just looking for some vinyl to redo my side bolsters and my bow cushions on my little river boat. I'm just wondering about quality, at $7yd it seems a...
Ok so I found this on another forum and figured I'd share it because I think this guy came up with a slick idea! He took what looks like a brass npt cap and attached it to his winch so the garboard plug screws in the cap. With the plug screwed in it blocks the winch handle so you would have to...
Hey guys
I just looked at a 1998 bayliner Capri 1952 that's is clean for a 98 but the guy bought it and didn't know he had to winterize it so bye bye block. He said the first year it was in his garage so he was ok and the second year it went outside so that was that. At this point he just want...
I have a 2bl Mercarb on my 1989 120hp and I was wondering if someone could explain to me what the stainless steel check ball with the spring under the Venturi cluster does. I've had a problem with flooding after I shut it down so i rebuilt the carb this winter and it was better but just last...
I have a couple 4blade questions? I have a 17ft bow rider with a 2.5l/120hp I use mainly for fishing but once in a while me and my buddy's have a getaway day where we ski/tube and grill on the island. I was wondering if I got a 4blade prop to get a better hole shot for playing would it be...
Hey guys
I got a bunch of boating stuff from a guy in exchange for some electrical work ( replace 3 flood light fixtures ). In the bunch was a set of monarch mooring whips which I don't need where I slip my boat, he said they where good for a 25' boat or 6000lb. They are 12' long,about 3/4 dia...

Do the 2.5 and 3.0 run the same head I may have to start looking for a used head for my 2.5 and was wondering in case I come across a decent used head off a 3.0
Hey guys
I rebuilt my carb over the winter and I'm really close with it now at first it was flooding and would hesitate than break loose going to wot so I pulled it apart and checked the float levels and went back to the solid needle (figured that's what was in it before rebuild) I found I...

Hey guys I have 16' Thundercraft and I got some mooring whips (free)from a neighbor where I keep my boat I think this is my best option for tying my boat up as the river I'm on gets really heavy boat traffic and we all know how some boaters are really inconsiderate of moored boats and docks but...
