I bought ss competition gauges two years ago for my boat. its got a 1990 M90 90hp 2stroke mercury engine on it. I'm sorting out some problems with a couple of the gauges and one of them being that the tach reads too high at idle. Apparently the company is still selling gauges but the contact...

very puzzling to me. I was under the impression that pretty much all new boats constructed recently were all composite? also, I thought pretty much all I/O setups by now were MPI for emissions purposes? good friend recently bought a 2007 bayliner 237 deck boat. very fun boat, lots of...

started tearing down my 84 70hp evinrude yesterday. I got the lower cowling off and started to take the foot off. all four top bolts as well as the three up under the anode are out and the foot dropped down about two inches...but wont come out past that point. what am I doing wrong? I was...

franken-rude? ruden-stein? evin-stein? franken-evin? (that sounds horrible haha). basically, a member on here who will remain anonymous (unless he wants to speak up) sent me a damaged shortblock from a 88 60hp evinrude for my 84 70hp evinrude. mine had a rod through the bottom of the block so...

1986 175hp 2-stroke yami engine. its my neighbors. we've pretty much done everything to this engine thats honestly possible. now, he's down to just having problems with the foot. the big outer ring nut thread portion is pretty much eaten to nothing and it no longer grips right so he keeps...

I got around to pulling the 1984 70hp evinrude out of the woods at my grandpa's place and got it up to my house. I built a stand for it and as I was hoisting it upright, I noticed a steady stream of "powder" coming from the engine. looked closer and it was coming from a hole in the block at...

dont have time today but I will be calling tomorrow about possibly buying a boat slip. my girl gave me the ok the other day to get one :D anyway, are they considered property so you can get that type of loan or is it the same type of loan as a vehicle? also, do you pay property taxes on them...

/begin rant so I bust my butt all over the winter/spring to get my boat finished so we can go camping over memorial day weekend on an island and right before this...I decide to do some routine maintenance to my truck...oil change and spark plugs. I was fearing the plug change because my truck...

I'm just now getting around to looking for a unit for my bowrider. dont want anything uber expensive as I'll probably hard mount it and sell it with the boat when I'm ready to upgrade in a few years. I'm honestly starting at ground zero and am very noobish on terms with these things. I'm...

just curious. if you were camping overnight on an island, which would you trust more to keep the boat from floating off in the middle of the night? this: or this: or this:

old trailer rotted apart where the tongue joins the rest of the trailer. came across a good used galvanized trailer for $300. I replaced the bunks with new ones and rewired as well. it was setup for what I think was a jon boat though. when I put it on the bunks, they were sitting up against...

not saying I'm superstitious or anything (well maybe a little) but I've heard its bad luck to either remove a name on a boat or change it. my little 16' bowrider was, for god only knows what reason, named "big time III" by a previous owner. I'm assuming it was part of a set of boats the...

I'm wanting to read over it so I can stop after work and pick up the supplies. for some reason the pdf in the thread is blocked at work (never had that happen before). or are there online pictures? I'm wanting to build a stand this afternoon for my 84 70hp evinrude so I can get it off the...

overpowered as in it looks to be a 17' or so ski boat with a twin turbo lexus v8 in it. unsafe as in the following: A) overpowered B) running non-marine components such as auto fuel injection system and a megasquirt fuel injection computer (which that I know of, none are marine grade...

here's my boat: the cockpit is 7' long and measuring via the old (original) top, is 62" if I measure from the original mounting points on the inside portions of whatever that part of the boat is called (lol, I call it the sides of the boat). If I measure from the top middle of the side...

is there something along the lines of carfax or autocheck for boat engines? not as far as in accidents per say but that would let you check to see if an engine has been reported stolen in the past? got a guy local with an engine without a title I'm interested in for the lower half but I want...

how hard is it to regear an outdrive? current specs on the two I have are 1.98:1 while the 350 engine usually comes with either a 1.41:1 or 1.50:1. they are MC-1 outdrives. been looking around and trying to find this type of info but getting mixed info. I see the individual gear sets on ebay...

been reading and reading and I think I'm still confused. both gelcoat and topcoats (awlgrip, etc) can be used to "paint" the outside of a boat right? is the difference that gelcoat can be applied over the entire outer surface of the boat and topcoat can only be applied above the waterline?? or...

ok, the first pics are of the outdrive on my family's old boat. I grew up on this boat and plan to update/restore it. I got the ok from my mom so it will likely be my winter project this year. I know both are mercruiser but I have no idea what the engines actually are and my grandpa has...

friend stopped by yesterday with a boat he was delivering for a friend. he had no clue what it was but I liked the boat and want to know so I can search around locally and see if there's anything like it in the area for sale. anyway, I "think" the HIN is PIOJG137K798 but here's a bad pic of it...
