Thanks for the information about how the tank works. I was told my an old OMC tech that if the tank is holding any amount of pressure (only up until the relief pressure which he thought was in the range of 25-30 psi if I remember correctly), the pressure relief valve is working. I originally...
Hi all. Happy 4th. Here’s a zinger for ya all.
Warning- this is a long drawn out thread so go get a beer and sit down.
Anyhoo, got two older OMC tanks (80’s- single line - btw) that leak from the fuel outlet when the cap is shut tight. Won’t do it when cap is turned to the first stop...
Anyone a member here own one of these outboards with the midsection decals in reasonably good shape?
These are the models that are silver and blue. Looking for some help with decal recreation.
TIA
Thank you - I never would of thought of doing that. I assumed incorrectly that the powerhead would somehow interfere with the newer cowl/cowl pan and be incompatible that fashion. I’m glad I asked the question.
Hi all.
I was wondering if anyone knew whether the transom bracket on a 1976 evinrude 75 can be updated to a newer model year to take advantage of the newer tilt/trim units?
The mounts have to be done anyways and it has to come apart so I figured I’d ask the question.
I have had limited...
Hello all, been on iboats quite awhile though other forums and this is my first restoration.
Got myself a 79 Glastron HPV-165 which will need work. So far the Glastron is playing nicely among the Starmada fleet in the pole barn .
Looking forward to everyone's help when i start documenting the...
Hi all, got a 79 hpv 165 and I have some general questions about the boat’s structure. Are there any hpv owners that could assist? If so then I’d like to ask a few questions to start - probably many more to come.
great looking boat - nice lines. Excited to start working on it
thanks!
Great. Exactly what I wanted to know.
Ok - Got another doozey for ya - then you should be able to replace a non functioning obsolete double cylinder system with a newer integrated ptt system - and use any ptt system manufactured from 78-90?
Beginning In 78 some things were changed but it may not necessarily be what you are needing. Best go look at part numbers only to verify some of those descriptions are generalizations
All,
please bear with me here but I'm trying to understand the theory behind the power tilt trim differences running between different model years.... Mainly 1974 through 1990. All feedback welcome as there may be others here who would benefit (or can dispute my findings).
It seems that...
