    1981 Springbok 18' Restoration/Renovation

    My next step is going to be locating any loose or missing rivets and installing solid aluminum rivets. I’m thinking anything structural I’ll be using the normal solid rivets, and if there’s anything that’s purely to fill a hole with some sort of backing plate I’ll use some semi-tubular solid...

    1981 Springbok 18' Restoration/Renovation

    I’ve got the boat secured on my trailer with the bow winch post as well. I’m unsure if I should move the bunks aft to sit past the transom edge for further support, it would be an easy adjustment to make so I’ll hold off for later days to reaccess. Lately I’ve been using these nice days to be...

    1980 E100 motor issues

    I believe I found the issue, upon opening the carbs up, I found that the in the lower carb bowl I had over tightened the seat for the float valve and the o-ring had split and was holding my float down and the valve open. Replaced and did not over tighten, started it up and was able to get the...

    1981 Springbok 18' Restoration/Renovation

    Trailer fully assembled, waiting until I get the boat sitting on it to make the final adjustments to my keel rollers and bunks. Going to fab up a bow stop/winch post once I get the boat positioned properly as the old one got stuck with the bow eye.

    i was hoping someone had some advice, seems more timing related from my limited knowledge but dont understand why a different coil/powerpack would be causing this

    1980 E100 motor issues

    I've got a 1980 E100TLCSC, I recently swapped the stator from an '86 E110 onto it as the initial one had some cracks showing and the 110 looked to be in great condition. I also put the water cooled regulated rectifier on since my previous regulator had gone bad and the rectifier alone sends too...

    1981 Springbok 18' Restoration/Renovation

    Finally got this terrible flotation foam removed from the hull, removing the stringers allowed for ease of getting under the foam and removing in big sections when it seemed to stay together. Filled about 5 garbage bags full of the old foam, it had to have weighed a couple hundred pounds with...

    1981 Springbok 18' Restoration/Renovation

    Transom finally removed, it was quite tough getting it out only to find out there were a few screws drilled into it with the screw heads grinded flush to the aluminum and painted over....... Once all the fasteners were out it was rather easy to lift it out, got it out in one piece which will be...

    1981 Springbok 18' Restoration/Renovation

    I am currently in the process of removing the last bits of foam and flooring before i fill the boat up with some water and find any leaky spots. What would people suggest using for folding that aluminum on the bow downwards on a 90 degree angle? its about 0.100" so it seems like it would be...

    1981 Springbok 18' Restoration/Renovation

    Started off removing all of the interior stuff, lots of carpet and old foam flying everywhere. Went ahead and traced the shape of the new open bow and left about 4” extra everywhere so I can bend it downwards and wrap it down later on. Does anyone have any tips for removing the old pourable foam?

    Hi all, First off, I'd like to thank everybody on here for all the help I've received on other threads regarding other motor/electrical issues I've now successfully repaired. This post will be about an aluminum boat I've purchased in hopes to cut open the closed bow, and transform it into an...

    Rectifier/Regulator

    I'm looking at installing a new rectifier regulator onto my E100TLCSC, it came with an air cooled rectifier and air cooled regulator, both separate units. The standalone regulator seems to be difficult to find, whereas rectifier/regulator units are much more available. My motor has the port for...

    1980 100hp vs 1986 110hp ignition coils

    It got up to 15.3 before i killed the motor, it seemed to go up faster from 12.8 to 14.2 and then kept creeping up. I had it at about 1500rpm the whole time with no changes to that

    1980 100hp vs 1986 110hp ignition coils

    Same question goes for my rectifier/regulator. 1980 has two seperate units connected at the terminal block… 1986 model has a rectifier/regulator all in one with all the wires meeting up at its terminal block. Would this be a compatible swap if I am able to mount it somewhere safely on the motor...
