    1992 OMC 3.0 Cracked Block

    It doesn't look like it's running very smooth in the video, but for $400 if it's not too far away, why not? From the pictures, he's already pulled it from the boat. Buying just the engine beats buying a donor boat, pulling the engine and then having to dispose of the hull.

    1992 OMC 3.0 Cracked Block

    The least expensive route may be to find a cheap donor boat with a usable motor. Just be sure to inspect it thoroghly before buying it.

    Outboard Stands

    I've built this one a couple of times. Biggest engine I've had on them was a 70hp 2 cycle Mercury, but I think with modifications they would hold something bigger.

    HIN Decoding

    I just acquired a 1983 Starcraft HIN STRL06850783-A4 The HIN decoders I've seen online will decode the STRL06850783 part, but I haven't been able to learn anything about what the -A4 suffix means. Can someone here shed some light on this? Thanks

    Starting a jet boat out of water

    This is how I've always done it and I've never had a problem. Definitely purchase the oem service manual if you can, it's well worth the money.

    2.3l has 150psi across all cylinders, but small amount of water in oil.

    This^^ Sometimes a serviceable used one turns up, but otherwise they go for big money. https://www.dougrussell.com/catalog/product/view/_ignore_category/1/id/25862/s/hge-2-3l-exhaust-manifold-for-omc/

    Vinyl cleaner?

    This stuff works better than anything else I've used and I've used all sorts of home made and commercial products. It's pricey and be careful not to get it on anything made of fabric, but it works.
