    1993 OMC 5.8 Alternator Witchcraft

    Alright, boat is a 1993 Four Winns H210, with ~760 hours on it. A few weeks ago I put a new SS prop on it and took it out for some hole shots and top speed runs. Get down to the end of the lake and slow down to turn around and am assaulted by a burning rubber smell. Get back to the dock and see...

    1993 5.8 OMC Cobra EFI - Hesitation in Reverse?

    We've got a 1993 Four Winns H210 with the OMC Cobra 5.8 EFI. Everything works great but when you shift into reverse the engine stumbles and chokes, almost as if it's going to stall, then revs way up and lurches the boat backward, and continues to hunt for RPMs while in reverse. Also sometimes if...

    Newbie Johnson 4-stroke question - Water Flow

    I kind of have a grip on the workings of I/O engines but outboards are total witchcraft to me.... We've got a 24' pontoon boat at the family lake house in NY with (I think) a mid-2000's Johnson 70hp 4-stroke outboard on it. When we were up there in July the boat would make a loud ~10 second...

    5.8 OMC Fuel Octane vs. Performance

    We have a 1993 Four Winns 210 Horizon. It's a gorgeous boat for its age and is powered by a stern-drive 5.8l OMC Cobra Ford V8 with "multiport electronic fuel injection." This year we have been having an absolute miserable time getting skiers out of the water. The boat just doesn't have the...

    Washed, waxed, and launched!

    I drove up to NY this weekend to help my grandfather get the boat out. It's a 1993 FourWinns Horizon 210 that he bought new when I was about 4. :eek: I'm 21 now and enjoy the use of the boat with friends and family so try to help out as much as possible. The stern gets direct sunlight all summer...

    1993 OMC Cobra Thunking while turning

    We have a 1993 FourWinns 210 Horizon with an OMC Cobra 5.8l V8 stern drive. Cruising at idle speed is quiet, but when you turn the wheel there is a rapid "thunk thunk thunk thunk" that gets louder the further you turn. The gimbal was replaced last year. Any recommendations? Thanks.

    How to get rid of fiber glass oxidation?

    Hey, everyone. I've never used a boat forum before, usually stick to cars, but this is cool! We have a 1993 Four Winns Horizion 210 with an OMC Cobra 5.8 liter V8, which we've had since new. It has stayed in pretty much mint condition for 16 years and we love the boat very much. We took it out...
