is it even possible? I'm pretty sure a dealer would do it reluctantly but can you just buy a boat from the manufacturer direct without an engine setup on it? was going to look into this more starting next year but figured I'd ask in case anyone has been down this route. basically, I've got...

so I took off yesterday from work to go with the finance' to look at wedding reception places. all well and good and we were done by 11a.m. so on the way back to the house I swing by the local neighborhood boat launch and see only a single truck/trailer in the lot and its dead high tide. nice...

just so everyone knows. its a 15'6" bow rider with a 90hp 2-stroke outboard. I pulled it down to the skeleton and redid the floors,etc. I thought the original problem with leaning was that all the old flotation foam was soaking wet...which was all removed. with me and my girl in the boat, it...

had to replace my steering setup after the original one froze up on me. I bought a teleflex rack system off here about 2 years ago and installed it, steering turned fine, so I proceeded with the restoration. got it out on the water for the first time yesterday and damn near killed myself on...

this is the transom # off of my parents old boat. only thing else I know about it is that it has an emblem "marquis" on the side of it at the stern on both sides. MRBJ2794M741 just trying to get some more info on this boat before I get into it.

ok, I've been suspecting that my oil pump hasnt been working due to a noise I'm hearing in the engine. I decided to test it. I have a 10 gallon gas tank that is full. I added tcw2 to it (1-quart) which is a bit richer than 50:1 as per the manual but I'd rather be rich at this point. I popped...

here's what I used: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=39985&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=10104&subdeptNum=10296&classNum=10301 I cut an old transducer off the stern with a metal cutting wheel as the PO used non-stainless screws...

I got three of the boats pulled out of the woods at my grandpa's place to take to the dump but cant get them up on the car trailer very easily (doh!). at this point, the easiest way would be to cut them into pieces right there on the ground and then load the pieces (would also make it easy to...

I need to see if my oil injection pump is working or not. looking at the hose routing, it seems the tank leads under the carbs over to the oil injection pump. the pump then outlets straight into the fuel pump (I assume this is where the gas/oil mix). should I just unplug the line into the...

I mean they have to right? I've been searching ebay for the past couple months. all I want is a good used oem unit. I dont want an aftermarket mallory, etc unit...just a rebuildable or serviceable oem unit. I see distributor caps for them all over but no used distributors... or is it the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT-OU2wtuho I choked it down till it cut off after opening the cowl (well friend did at the controls) so you could hear the noise in an rpm range. its like a constant dull whirring noise that can be heard over the normal engine noise. Is this a needle bearing...

edit: nevermind I figured it out.

just browsing around on boat trader as I've got nothing else to do today lol. just happened to see this boat. http://www.boattrader.com/listing/1989-Irvette-19-Dual-Console-I-O-96659004 I've gotten pretty good at ID'ing omc outdrives but never seen anything with this type of transom pattern...

which would you get if both are available and why? listing for my engine shows a resistor plug and a regular plug. I was just going to get the regular plugs but now I'm kinda curious

http://www.iboats.com/Windshield-Latch/dm/*******.884671765--**********.308056658--view_id.39697 I want the one in the bottom middle of the pictures but the same picture is in front of each and every one. only one I can ID is the double latch... I "think" its the thumb latch as I see the...

been hearing some noise from my gearcase lately. I changed the oil out yesterday for some fresh quicksilver gearcase oil. the old oil didnt look horrible when it was draining but man if there werent shavings on the oil drain plug. how bad is this or is this normal. gearcase oil hasnt been...

my service manual tells what type trim oil to use but only has the capacity (22.5oz) for my gearcase oil...cant find the weight/type to use anywhere in the service book. not in the gearcase chapter or service index. anyone know? 1990 90hp 2-stroke 3-cyl engine. thanks!

84-41591A2 a google search pulls up a whopping 4 results with only one being relevant and its a useless link where the guy just posts the part number as well. I just need the cross reference on this # to help me with ID of my harness.

looking in my service manual I honestly cant tell if its a commander or commander 2000 setup. I have power tilt/trim, electric start, and a warning horn (disabled as it was screaming at me...yes I'll fix it later lol). anyway, here's some pics, let me know if you need more to help me properly...

what is the typical size hose to use for a water pressure gauge? I'm going to assume use whatever the size inner diameter is the same as the pee hole hose? I was just gonna cut mine and take half of it to lowes and match up to some ice maker hose and then get the appropriate brass nipple for...
