I found this type of magma grill in the trash the other day. not this specific one though mind you, thats not my gf lol. anyway, after looking it over I can tell it should work but that apparently the previous owner lost the regulator and just simply tossed a $200 grill out. I had to buy a...

ok, this has been bugging at me for quite a while now and nobody local to me really has an answer. I've read threads on here where people say such and such engine is too big for their boat, etc and they cant run it. why? example (probably a bad one too but first thing that popped in my head)...

I'm at the point where I bought a pair of seats yesterday from walmart. just the cheapie $34 white folding seats. I want them both to swivel but man if seat hardware isnt expensive lol. the bases from walmart are $18 each in 13" height and then you add in the swivel itself for another $8...

ok, I'm helping my grandfather get rid of a couple old boat projects which will never ever see the water again for SEVERAL reasons lol...mainly rot. in return he's letting me salvage whatever I want off of them before they go. sweet. basically, he's got an older renken speedboat with a 350 IO...

ok, I've got a 96 sears gamefisher 15hp engine model #225.581508 after looking up the model number online, it appears these are made for sears by Force as far as I can tell. its got this round style fuel connector: which I'm pretty sure is just like this one...

my grandfather has been somewhat of an older boat collector for a little while but now realizes he's 92 and never going to do anything with them lol. he's been getting me to help him pull the boats one by one out of the darn woods to cut up and haul off to the dump. these boats are in BAD BAD...

ok, I need some help with two things that are irritating the hell out of me. the following pics from the previous post are pretty much a before/after of me cleaning the existing vinyl on the boat as I did that while I was hiding the wiring. I used a strong seacraft (or whatever its called)...

its been irking me the whole time I've been watching this show with my g/f but I cannot for the life of me figure out what boat it is exactly that the ex husband bobby lives on in a parking lot. anyone remotely know what it is and year? pic for reference:

got all the paperwork from my grandfather on his old 13' fiberglass scout. once I get all that sorted out at the DNR and get updated stickers I'm going to go pick it up from him. overall the boat seems to have sat up well and is still nice and sturdy but the top surfaces have to have...

is there a way to search transom numbers to find out any more information on a boat such as year, model, trim, etc? there's a boat in my neighborhood thats been sitting and last registered in 2007 that has a layer of crap on thats thick as ever. I'm curious if its for sale but in case it is I...

wondering how hard it would be to convert an outboard engine from tiller steering to a steering wheel setup? is this possible at all?

ok, neighbors boat engine is an 86 model 175 supposedly. i say this because it was a state owned boat and looks to be cobbled together. its got a 175hp powerhead on it and what looks to be 3 mismatched carbs that have had varying degrees of "work"/rigging done to them in the past. here's the...

ok, its my neighbor's boat. its a 1986 2-stroke v6 engine. he told me its a 175hp engine with 150hp carbs on it. anyway, at full throttle for an extended time the engine will bog down and when you go back to look, it's pretty much sucked the fuel bulb completely closed. whats been done...

ok, engine is a 1990 mercury m90 2stroke engine. its always had this "dead spot" since I've owned it. I'm thinking I've found the two problems. 1. I believe the fuel filter is on backwards lol. the arrow is pointing towards the fuel pump outlet and NOT towards the carb inlet as you can see...

been wiring up my boat the past two weeks and got the water temp gauge and tachometer wired up last night. I had it running and it was idling at almost 2,000rpm and the water temp got up to around 180*F. I'm pretty sure the idle is off (probably need to just switch the dipswitches on the...

ok, so you know all those bowrider boats from the mid 80's to early 90's that had the little teak wood ski lockers in the floors over the middle stringer?? well, I'm trying to find the metal trim pieces that were used in the floor as the surround and wood cover support for them. also wondering...

just felt like a little bragging lol though I do have a question at the end. we've been having problems with water in a 1986 175hp yamaha engine. its got 150hp carbs on it...dont ask. anyway, after pulling the tank out of the boat and draining/cleaning it, we decided to drain all the carbs...

ok, I know for a 2-1/16" gauge, you use a 2" hole saw. what size hole saw do you use for a 3-3/8" gauge (speedo/tach)?? just re-doing my dash assembly with new gauges and adding a few more and I want it done right.

ok, the tilt/trim unit on my 86 yamaha 175hp engine went out as did the motor for it (3 wire-blue/green/black). got a good used tilt/trim off ebay for nice and cheap but its a newer unit and the motor only has two wires (blue/green). anyone know what the black was?? I'm assuming it was the...
