Well, for the first time in our life we are able to get a new motor. Just got it home and now I need a wire harness to hook up the analog gauges. Here are some pics of the harness and motor. Any idea on what merc part # I need for a harness?
Thanks,
Chad
Picked up this ol' girl this spring. She was rough. What started out as project I wanted to keep cheap got a bit out of hand. So after an unplaned new Merc CT115 4 stoke and a new galvanized trailer, I needed to stop spending money. Tried to clean the old seats but the vinyl just crumbled. We...
My parents are looking at a 1990 candia 200. It has a 360hp V8. I can't seem to find much info about the boat for them. Hoping some of you have some experience with this boat and can weight in.
They are looking for a boat for inland lakes mostly with a little fair weather bay boating...
I have a moeller 20 gallon permament mount fuel tank that I would like to mount inside my swingback seat on my 19' cc. I would need to have the fill and vent for the tank mounted on the side of the seat.
A mechanic at our local marina has warned me that I shouldn't vent the tank inside the...
I have a few pieces of wood that I am going to seal with satin spar urethane. I would like them to be white, not clear. Can I apply paint under/over the clear? If so, any paint recomendations for this application?
thanks
A friend is looking at this boat. It has a '94 150hp johnson outboard with just over 400 hours on it. He has not seen the boat, but it is very clean in the pics he has. the pics look good. Very clean interior, shinny outboard and gelcoat, nice trailer. Owner says no soft spots, always garaged...
I'm in need of controls for my evinrude. Red plug harness. I have been told by people many controls will work, but nobody seems to know exactly which ones. any help on this one folks?
I also have a complete harness/key/alarm set up I can use if the control box doesn't include them.
In an ealier post, I had a splashwell question about a friends 16' ss. The older gentleman has no internet, so I am going to try to be his go between with the pro's here as he has questions. I will also be posting pics of his rebuild progression. I figured I would start a thread for him...
Friend of mine is working on converting his ss to a cc. He would like to remove the splashwell a create a rear casting deck like on the newer ones probable creating a smaller splashwell in the process. He was wondering if he could remove this with no strucural issues? I wasn't shure of the...
Friend of mine is looking at a 1991 trophy with a 1990 5 cyl. 150hp force. The motor is in amazing shape with only 247 hours on it. It was just serviced by a mechanic and has been given a good bill of health. He has asked me for info on the outboard, but I know very little about force engines...
ok, using 3/4 oz mat over 1/4 ply with poly. installed it with pb and have one layer of mat. Sanded it down today, not a real great surface. do I need to build the mat up more and keep sanding, or can I use a fairing compound or high build primer to finish it off before paint? Its solid and...
I would like to add a belly tank to my boat. I know I've seen a few really good threads in the past on this, but for the life of me I can't come up with any on the search now. Not shure if I'm going to be using alum/plastic yet. Looking for info on drainage/venting of compartment ideas.
thanks...
I just recieved a new tach that I purchased off ebay. I noticed when I unpacked it that the needle is sitting at around 4k. Just curious if that is the norm and ok or if I should be concerned. I will not get to install it for a month or so and don't wan't to have to deal with trying to get it...
that is the question. to spray, all I would have to do is buy a gun, have everything else I need. Have no experience with either way of painting. Just looking for a best way for a novice to paint a boat. Any opinions?

(pennsylvania) My father has been kicking around the idea of rebuilding a 70's 23 seacraft that was given to him about a year ago. One of his renters moved out and couldn't take it with them, so they gave it to him with a signed off title. Last week he went to check on registration and the...
