Adjusting the carb is not the same as cleaning the carbs. I suspect it is a fuel problem and the carbs probable need re-building.

Now just as a thing to also try is to squeeze the fuel bulb when...

Congratulations to him!

So how's his Dad's retirement going ;) Good to see you!

If people would like to before and after pictures - go for it. You can reference your restoration link too. I know there are ALLOT of boats being completed. :)

well the fishing seats are NOT made for riding....... look at the tracker marine web site and you will see how they squeeze a 3d seat in Maybe you could modify yours? My old Fisher aluminum bass...

Get an old school timing gun and verify that every cylinder is firing. Out of water it will "sound" fine even when not firing on all cylinders. Just move around the clip and verify each cylinder.

First you need a rectifier.

Second you have a Private Message.

in the past few months I have processed around 40K rounds (yup you read that right) and I sell brass on a few sites. I vibe all of mine but my business partner uses an ultra sonic with water,...

Even if the trim fluid is empty....the motor will still run. Remove the trim motor only and see if it spins while off the boat. Motors are not too much money. If the motor works then you might...

99% of your questiona will be answered in this section which lists restorations http://forums.iboats.com/starcraft-boats/starcraft-rebuilds-restorations-theyre-all-here-494143.html

You can try some polishing compound but nothing harsh. Start with a product that is considered ultra-fine polish first because regular rubbing compound might cut too fast and eat right through the...

I agree with Bond-o ..... since you changed the type to a bow rider .....you lost some strength and yes, that could be a warp spot. You have lost some of the structural support.

Happy Birthday!

Moved ;) have fun.

Manual tilt only. Everything is there and not a power T&T unit. Hard to find and adapt to that old motor so if you need T&T I would suggest an aftermarket unit.

Rain water that was stuck in the hull and works it's way back when the boat is under power.

To photocopy a manual is a copy write violation. Contact Bruswick Corporation as mentioned above. Maxums are no longer made however they are still supported a bit.

To the original poster...... your threads have been merged. ;)

First..... establish if it is actually the trim motor. MANY times the relay box can go bad, switches go bad or you could even be low on fluid.

I have found the older trim motors on ebay but over...

Keep this in mind........ the hull is normally easy to fix. The powerplant can be a totally different story and there have been years where the 470/3.7L was used so avoid that like the...

I can not give first hand evidence/testimony however....... that Epoxy Products place is on my list to visit this summer. It appears to be about 2 hours away ;)

Depends on what you are painting...

Welcome to iboats fellow Starcraft owner's :)

As long as you are experienced and do not do it in rough weather/water

A single wave over the bow could swamp you FAST and ruin your day........ but yes it can be done.

Looks like an early 60's Sea Scamp.

The serial number use to be on the inside of the wooden transom ans glued onto a plate. That transom replacement is a VERY easy job.

Here are some pictures...

Welcome to iboats

Please give more info about " prop is not spinning correctly." ???

It appears that it could be one of three pieces -

The shifter dentent, cradle or lever. One of those...

Simple rule of working on an aluminum boat - no pressure treated wood should ever be used. ;)

Look here and read item 9 and your boat will be just about the same!...

I would get them unmounted (fairly cheap) and then you have two choices - have the tre place dispose of them and pay a bit more (Less hassle ;)) or put them out at the road with a sign that says...

Well for a short (very short) period of time there was a trend to go to 100:1 but the companies reverted back to 50:1

I would strongly suggest 50:1 it is the safest for a 2 stroke that size. The...

Rarely (EXTREMELY RARE) there are internal clogs to the cooling system.

First thing to inspect is the impeller I don't care if it is a week old .....you need to remove the lower unit and check...

You created a Sherry and really no longer a wine with a high alcohol and sugar content ;)

Some manufacturing companies have picked up on it. They post MAX HP (which is determined bu hull design and dimensions) and some have posted MAX Weight for the transom to cover them as a...

Line X creates a future nightmare for repairs. Stick with fiberglass and standard materials. Line x does not have any advantages.

The leaves are excellent in salad BUT you must harvest the leaves BEFORE the buds open or flower. That is the secret to cutting down on the bitterness.

Yes Lightly sand to roughen the surface, gluvit inside on all seams and rivets (re-buck and tighten any loose rivets) a single light coat of ZC is all that is needed and paint can go on within hours...

First welcome to iboats.

Since your boat is older then the oxidation has set in. 99% of the paint process to make it last is the PREP!! I have painted many aluminum boats and Zinc Chomate is a...

Band aid repairs on any transom really is not a good idea :( Transom repairs on any aluminum hull are easy, fast and effective. Moving to the restoration section.

Never. Unless you keep all the plants in a sealed greenhouse. The animals you listed are ALL smart and skilled climbers!! :eek: NONE are affected by hair, soap, chili powder or any other home...

Have you looked at the iboats store?

I understand your pain. Many of us have been down the same road and loosing a parent is a journey that many take. I am sincerely sorry for your loss.

In our prayers,
Bob and Jenn.

BEFORE YOU START IT AGAIN!!!! Get a manual, remove the lower unit and check the impellar. They can just disintegrate and need replacement.

Unless you have a huge BANK account, want to spend about a year of weekends and are really in love with that boat ......then go ahead. I would politely say NO THANK YOU and walk away.

That is a...

On a boat that is nearly 30 years old you are going to probably be forced to make your own parts or get similar parts and modify them to fit.

Most manufacturers do not stock anything beyond 5...

The Searay site has a link to the owner's manuals ........ Sea Ray | Owners Resources

Not a good idea.

If you are directly involved I would advise against it. We do not need posts of accidents. That will lead to people posting worse looking accidents.

We do not post auto...

Depends on what the knife is used for....... My wife and I use this ACCU-SHARP Carbide Hand Held Knife Sharpener - AS-001 (015896000010) - Product Reviews and Prices - Shopping.com for a fast touch...

Welcome to the Forum PLEASE Read the forum rules on old posts!! TY

Look at the USCG capacity plate and power the boat with NO LESS then 75% of the rating so the hull will perform properly.

What is the rating plate say?

Forget the tell tale............ install a water pressure gauge. When running at high speed or any speed you want to be able to look forward and not keep turning around.

BAD sign if water flow...

Go to the restoration section and read up on how to inspect a hull.

Are you going into the ocean with a 14' boat???? Not a good idea.

The boat must match the water or you can end up in some...

That small tube was for fuel economy and MANY people (including myself on previous inlines) have blocked it off. The carb kits come with TONS of parts and gaskets to fit the various models.

You need a Marine Tachometer designed for an outboard. It will have a pulse adjustment on the backside to match the motor. They are available in the iboats store. ;) Welcome aboard.
