    Remove OMC Sea Drive Select Trim help

    So I got the wrong manual, I’ve ordered the correct one. I have the 1.6 bracket but got a manual for a 2.0. Anyway I’m hoping someone has done this before; I want to try to remove just the Select Tilt Trim unit from this 2nd bracket I own. I’ve got the four bolts off but I’m wondering how to get...

    ‘96 Evinrude 130 loose fuel line help

    Not sure if you can see in the 2nd pic where this line goes I tried to get a pic. But, as you can see in the first pic I’ve got a small fuel line loose in the front of the carbs. I’ve got the manual and for the life of me can’t figure out where this should attach. PO before was troubleshooting...

    OMC Sea Drive Tilt/Trim Issue

    When I got this project boat the TT on the SeaDrive was locked up. Finally got the pressure relief screw open, lots of air came out, freed up the unit and started the bleed process. In the midst, the new switch I wired, I heard a couple clicks then nothing. As I’m typing this, I’m wondering if...

    Has anyone tried the "import" (cheap) controls on Ebay?

    So I'm searching for a tilt trim switch because I bought one of the import versions but my controls are far too old for it to fit. The factory part is obsolete, so it's got me thinking about just moving the TT switch to the dash using a 3 prong On-Off-On toggle. Knowing that, I've always kinda...

    Why do I keep doing this to myself? (hint: because I love a challenge)

    Ok, as promised, here are the "more pics" of the boat in it's current state; the Florida sun, coupled with a factory trying to churn out as many boats as possible and maybe not doing a good enough job of application, the gelcoat has faded very thin. These pics are after I've washed and used...

    Help with a 130 on an OMC SeaDrive

    So, as you can see in the pics, the motor's original bracket is removed when it's installed on the SeaDrive Tilt unit. I'm assuming that's where I would've normally found a Model number. Where else can I look? The person I got the boat from wasn't the original owner and while the bracket is...

    Why do I keep doing this to myself? (hint: because I love a challenge)

    Ok, first and foremost, don't slaughter me because there' s no pics....yet. I didn't get the beast home until after dark last night. I picked her up just shy of 100 miles away, and yes, sight unseen. Let the record reflect the "she" in question is 1988 Sunbird SWL 200...i.e. Walkaround Cuddy...

    Yet another VRO question......sigh

    So, long story short, just picked up my latest "project" and she's fitted with a 1988 'Rude 130. PO claims he couldn't keep it running and was noticing fuel leaking around the "fuel pump", which we, of course, know is the VRO system. Granted, I just lugged this beast home last night in the...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Probably not called anything different that "Piano Hinge" when you search. It's just all about the way it swings.

    Would changing pitch make a difference?

    So, after all these years of owning boats, I'm finally publicly admitting I've never been very "prop educated". I mean, I've always had props. Shoot, I've probably even bought one or two over the years, but usually just got whatever some guy told me to get (hey, at least I'm honest). Funny...

    Proud of my Force 120, so an "Attaboy" to all the helpful folks here...

    Spent a couple hours with 2 of my favorite girls this afternoon (the 3rd one grew up on me and moved out:() so I thought I'd share a couple pics and a short little video. First, the pics; Heading out, 4700 rmp's @ 35mph One of the Stilt-Houses that are just to the south of us. There's about 7...

    Galvanic corrosion question(s);

    So, one of us (namely, me) needs to replace a couple of his bow rail fittings. They are all factory, read galvanized here, and are suffering from some mighty galvanic corrosion. They used stainless screws to secure the rail to the fitting and of course, they are pretty much stuck in place...

    Musing about low tide...

    First, let me state that I understand that tides are all about gravitational forces created by the moon as it relates to the Earth, etc. However, when you're living in Florida and there's a nasty little storm out in the Gulf, you start to wonder. It seems like the last time the tide dropped...

    Take a look and give me ideas, if any....!

    Ok, I wasn't even sure where to put this thread, so.....let's just get to it, shall we. First of all, take a look at these two pictures please; Now, let's 1st establish that I know I can pull it out and do what I need to do, but mainly, it's raining right now and I'm bored. What I need...

    Tell me more about this Flo Torq II Hub I seem to have...

    Since now I'm going to become much more acquainted with it, I believe. Yesterday, unbeknown to me, one of my dock bumper lines had broken away from the dock and floated right into my prop, while I was warming it and gathering the Admiral. We loaded up like normal, and the being the dummy I am...

    Just putting a little light on the subject....

    Technically it's not a project at all, but I'm bored so why not share, right? Had to go to Wal Mart today for something the Admiral wanted since it was a "rain-out" around here and I found these; Run-of-the-mill "stick on" battery powered lights, but a pretty good deal; 4 for $3.97 including...

    Anybody have the Dual Bimini Tops?

    So, I'm sorta being lazy, but more truthfully is I haven't had the time to set mine up to see if I'm going to like it or not, so I'm asking you. Do you have the big, back bimini that zips into the cockpit bimini top and do you like it? Or, do you have it, installed it, and then quickly removed...

    The new "EPA Friendly Portable Fuel Tank" and my "not-so-EPA friendly" 1995 Force 120

    The new "EPA Friendly Portable Fuel Tank" and my "not-so-EPA friendly" 1995 Force 120 I'm running my '95 120 on a portable tank until I know for certain what's inside the built-in. Previous Owner is believed to have not used this boat a lot recently, and I don't care for the "varnish smell"...

    Trophy shakedown cruise....gulp....

    So, even though I've had my 1995 Trophy 1802 for almost a month, today was the 1st time she's been splashed, thanks in part to a bad steering tube and then adding to that, a out-of-place shift rod. Why not do a fuel line change, lower unit oil change and an imeller whilst we're at it, right...
