1974 16ft Caravelle Boats model unknown possibly Stinger? 95HP max on the coast guard label
EDIT:
I did find a leak at the Cylinder Exhaust Gasket F522279 could this affect the motor performance? It leaks a little bit of oily water, not a lot just enough to have to wipe it off after it is...
Stick a fork in it.... Clutch and both gears are really rounded off. I found a brand new clutch on ebay for $25 or new from boats.net for $94 but after several hours looking for the gears I can't find any that look any better than mine. I found 2 lower units, 1 for $300 "as is" and 1 for $450...
I have a 1980 Chrysler 55hp with prestolite ignition and had an issue with both coils where the metal contact inside spark blug boots broke and what I did was found some mercury coil wires and pulled the boots off the ends. There was a kinda spring coil with a longer contact wire in the boot...
I have a 1980 55hp Chrysler outboard 559H0N with a 1 piece lower unit. I am having issues getting the shift linkage adjusted so that it will go into forward and reverse. When I started it would go into reverse only. The shift rod goes into an aluminum block with a pin (no adjustment there) at...
I just noticed my pdf error, I will try it as a png. This is what I have so far, still adding and tweaking. I want clean as possible with the ability to expand it later

#2 says source with inline fuse? I am assuming 12v from battery
#3 says relay or ACC which is the ignition?

Recently purchased this 1974 Caravelle 16ft boat, and I am trying to id what model it is. the Us coast guard tag show max hp 95, max persons cap 900, max weight cap 1350 with a model number of COV16 that turns up nothing in web searches. This plate matches information on iboats as a Caravelle...
I have a 1980 chrysler 55hp outboard i took off a 1980 chrysler 16ft trihull. The fuel setup was a 6gal portable tank with an inline pressure bulb. My new boat is a 1974 caravelle 16ft vhull with an aluminum fuel cell in the bow.
My question is how if possible can I make use of the bow tank...
Ok question about the transom. from what I have measured since it was a total loss and cant trace, it looks like at the tallest point it was 19.75 inches tall and 60.5 inches at the widest. for thickness it looks like it was 2-3 pieces sandwiched together in a "T" shape with the top of the being...
Hello,
Just signed up on the forums today but I have been lurking and reading for several months now in prep from my project.
I just aquired a 1980 chrysler striper with a 55hp chrysler outboard and trailer and it needs work. The boat was sitting uncovered and unprotected for the last...
