    120 hp vacuum??

    I have a '90 Maxum w/the l-drive 120 hp. It was a basket case when I got it, and was missing a few parts... It was missing the flame arrestors, and the originals are nla. I was able to get some for a newer ones ('92 I think).. The new ones are basically a cover w/ one hole for a vac line (I...

    Gel/Resin Mix

    I've found if I add about 20-30% white gelcoat to a batch of poly resin, it blends well to a solid white. I haven't tried a lower % yet, but I'll bet it will work. US Composites standard white gelcoat and the 435 poly resin. It looks like gelcoat when cured, but probably wouldn't polish up...

    Swim Platform DONE!!

    Here's some photo's of the 'project'. I know it kinda pales in comparison to some of the other stuff here, but I'm very happy with how it turned out(and I'm a perfectionist!). http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w159/swgconstruction/swimplatform/

    DynaHair

    I found this at the autoparts store... I had no Cabosil, and they were out of Ooops! Peanut Butter. I needed to do some filleting. It's kinda like bondo, but has more resin and lots of stranded glass. Any body ever used it? I just did...layed in and tooled pretty nice. It kicks pretty...

    swim platform help

    I'm building an extended swim platform for my bayliner. I've built the plywood core and want to lay it up and finish with a slick OE looking gelcoat. I was going to use poly resin and a couple layers of woven mat, but after researching...not so sure. Here's what I've got so far...

    Wet lower unit

    I figured I'd have this thing completely apart sooner or later...... Basket case 1990 120 L- Drive. Put the power head together and seems to run OK. Before starting, the lower unit oil was OK (I think). After running for about 5 minutes in a tub, water was pumping, but had a leak in the...

    It's L-Live!

    I've been putting together a basket case maxum 120 L-DRIVE. Pulled the head to check for damage (It was loose??). put it on, compression tested, spark tested, installed both carbs and linkages. Got the choke working, stuck the tail in a tub, the fuel line in some fresh gas, turned the key...

    Newguy L-Drive

    1990 120? force L-drive I'm looking for the manual, and will get one soon. I want to do a compression check and spark test before I put the rest together and see what happens. I've read something about damaging the coils, and I sure don't want to do that. Do you directly ground the plug wires...

    L-ooooh

    Accidentally bought a '90 maxum with 120 (125?) L-drive. The engine's mostly there, only missing intake/flame arrestors.... I think. Am getting the manual, but I could use some pictures of what this thing should look like. Any 'proud' owners out there want to post a pic or two?? Thanks! Steve

    Fins?

    I'm a slolam ski/kneeboard guy and wanting to try wakeboarding. I picked up an O'Brien Buzz 140 (2004..i think) w/bindings for cheap! It has holes for the twin tail fins (1 fin each end), but didn't come with them. The PO said they never used the fins and lost them. I haven't had a chance to...
