    Need information on 2007 Keywest LS Oasis

    Hi everyone, we currently have a rebuilt 19' bowrider but with our growing family the wife has asked about a bigger boat (go figure). There is a 2007 Keywest Oasis for sale nearby in very good condition with an 08 evinrude 115hp etec on it. I have read that Keywest stopped using wood in their...

    Upsizing fuel connector on 83 johnson

    Thanks, from looking around online it looked like 5/16 was good for about 115 and above that 3/8 was now recommended. You guys are probably right that I am just overthinking...

    Upsizing fuel connector on 83 johnson

    Hi everyone, I have an 83 seahorse which runs like a dream. Since I got this motor and rebuilt the boat I used all 3/8" fuel line but found that the stock fuel connector that is mounted to the side of the motor is 5/16" with a part number of 0393679. I didn't want to use this and have a small...

    If you're able to it might make sense to adjust the thread title to "j185esxess" since the number I posted was wrong. Thank you very much.

    j185esxess

    I am, and many other forums have mods that can delete posts. I did not know I boats cant. The motor tag was deceiving me a bit and the model is j185esxess, so it's a 1990 60° looper motor. It looks like all the key things are intact on it and it might be a suitable replacement with some time...

    j185esxess

    I anyone familiar with this motor: j185esxess? A few years ago I had a 1989 version of this motor given to me minus the prop, hydraulic lines, and controls. I am currently running a 1983 J175TXCTD that I upgraded the charging system on to 30 amps. The J185 has been sitting on a stand in storage...

    leaking fuel tank

    This thread is so hard to make, but I need some suggestions and insight. A few years ago I rebuilt a 91 Bayliner Capri. Structurally everything I rebuilt is holding up great and the boat is a rock. During the install I reinstalled the main fuel tank under the deck and added a second fuel tank...

    anyone with experience melting or gluing closed cell foam?

    Hi, last year I decided to use some closed cell pipe insulation foam and wrap the piping on my wake tower for several reasons. I used foam that had the adhesive on it from the factory. That adhesive did not stand up to moisture very well and the edges are coming apart (exposing the seam again)...

    charging system upgrade 83 175

    So let me start this thread by saying I am not above admitting when I have a brain fart. That being said I had one. A couple years ago I decided I wanted to upgrade the charging system on my J175txctd 1983 175hp sea horse from the 10 amp system to the 35 amp system. I have added several...
