    Advice on pricing my boat...

    Haven't been on here in a while everyone so help me if I've put this in the wrong place or it's inappropriate. I'm not trying to advertise my boat on here as I hope to sell it locally. However, I'm thinking you all might be able to help me set a fair price. I have a 91 Chris Craft 167 Concept...

    OMC Cobra - Shift Parts Etc.

    I have a 91 3.0 litre Cobra. I took it out for the first test run this year and it wouldn't go in gear. I took it to a mechanic and he found corrosion galore but has it back in shape. That's the good and the bad news. It wasn't shifting very well to start with and especially had problems...

    Shift Problems - First Run of Season

    I've got a 91 Chris Craft 17' Bowrider with a 3.0 OMC Cobra. I have changed my fluids, cleaned her all up nice and was ready to go. Engine starts and runs like a dream. Dropped in the water today for a test run and it wouldn't go into forward. I have the shifter where you press the button in...

    New Battery

    This seems like a stupid question but I don't know. I bought a battery when I got my boat 2 years ago. It finally went bad because I didn't take very good care of it in the off-season. It was rated at 505 amps. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a new one. Not knowing a lot about the differences...

    Trim Gauge not working - Anyone?

    I have a 91 OMC Cobra 3.0 Litre on a 91 Chris Craft 167 Concept. The trim gauge hasn't worked since I bought it 2 years ago. Any idea where i'd start to troubleshoot this? Should it be an easy fix? I can and have done without it if it's a high dollar and/or effort. Any thoughts?

    OMC Electronic Shift Assist - Anyone?

    I've got a 91 OMC Cobra. When I first got it it seemed to be working fine. However, about 2 weeks after I had a shift cable go out on me and had it replaced. Ever since I've had a problem getting it to go out of gear when shift to neutral from a slow speed. I have to pull back towards...

    Changed fluids myself for first time - am I okay?

    I've been changing the oil in my own vehicles since I was 16 but have always taken my boat to someone else to have the oil and lower unit oil changed. Problem is the guy always tells me I'll have it back in a week and it's more like 3 and it comes back looking like it spent the month under a...

    OMC Tilt/Trim - Help - Broken or what?

    I have a 91 OMC 3.0 Cobra Sterndrive. Last year, I had my tilt/trim unit taken apart and resealed because of a droop problem. Worked find after that. Toward end of season had sporatic problems where it would sometimes not trim down and other times it would work fine. Pulled it out of storage...
