The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I am rebuilding a MerCruiser 4.3 V6 and the cam retainer plate was put on previously by someone with a strongarm instead of a proper torque, so I now need to replace it. I'm having a hard time finding one online, and no local stores can even find it listed. Any help would be great!! Thanks in...

I just finished restoring a Bayliner Capri 2050 that was basically left for scrap. I went through it for rot, drill tested the hull and stringers, and rebuilt the motor (which was said to be non-salvagable, even though it only had 4 hours on it :joyous: ) I have changed the carpets from the...
I just saved a Bayliner Capri from the woods (I will be posting pictures soon of the restoration) and have noticed that the trim will sometimes stop moving up or down, and I need to release the button, and press it again for it to continue. Could this be air in the lines or is the trim pump...
