    1971 Mercury 110 9.8hp

    I usually hang out in the boat repair section but I recently acquired a Mercury 110, 9.8 motor. My son picked it up for me and I have not even seen it. One thing I know I will need is a manual for it. I have looked around but have not found one on-line. Does anyone know where I might...

    PL question

    I've been a member for some time and am finally getting ready to start my project boat which is a Century Coronado Cardel. In reading the forums, I see many references to something called PL. With the trend to use letters instead of words lately, I'm curious what is PL? Is it a polyurethane...

    84 Cardel

    I am in the process of restoring an 84 Cardel. Anyone here done stringers for one? I have found about three different stronger designs, would like to compare notes on them.

    Century Cardel owners?

    I'm looking to find someone that has rebuilt a Century Cardel. While it is a Coronado, the internal structure is entirely different and I have some questions that can best be answered by someone who has "gone there, done that".

    bedding stringers

    I've been doing a lot of searching and reading here and I think I know what I want to do but thought I would run it past the experts. I have a Coronado Cardel, which is the V-drive model (not the I/O) and it's in dire need of all new stringers. Most of what's left is black and crumbly except...

    hydraulic actuator

    I have a Magnum Trailer which is a semi-custom trailer under my 84 Century Coronado, probably close to 5000 pounds or so. The current hydraulic actuator is an Attwood and not only needs all new internals but is also a bit bent where the actual coupler is. This unit is welded to the trailer so...

    raw to closed cooling system conversion

    Has anyone converted their Mercruiser raw water cooled system to a closed or fresh water system? In looking at some coolant flow diagrams, it looks like some different hoses and a heat exchager/expansion tank are all that's needed.

    exhaust pipe material

    I have a 327 Chris Craft inboard engine in my boat which I have just installed a Mercruiser cooling system on. I have run 3" hose from the risers to the pipes which are currently 2-1/2". I have new 3" outlets and am planning on running new 3" tube from the hose to the tips. My question is...

    mercruiser raw water pump rotation

    I am installing a cooking system from an old MIE 230 inboard engine, S/N unknown. It originally was a LH engine with a gear reduction which changed the prop rotation. I am installing the cooling system in a RH rotation engine. I have opened up the raw water pump and replaced the impeller...

    alternator/water pump locations

    I am in the process if installing a cooling system from a Mercruiser 230 MIE inboard, probably early 80's vintage. Can anyone tell me what side of the engine the raw water pump and alternator go on? I can't get to my boat to play around with things and the original engine is not available. I...

    HO ski parts?

    I have an older HO ski (80's vintage) that has a broken clip to lock the binding in place. Anyone know where I might find a parts source?

    Solas ski boat prop

    I'm looking for comments on a Solas 3 blade 13x13 stainless inboard prop. It looks very much like an OJ Legend but cheaper. Anyone have any experience with the Solas inboard props? It seems there is little info out there about them, I'm wondering if I should hold out and save up for an ACME...
