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 was on the water and my boat died. '76 silverline comoro, Merc 888 Ford 302. So I checked the oil, and it looked milky. I also had oil in the bilge. thinking my block or head is cracked, i did a compression test. Here were the results:
Cyl 1: 120 psi
Cyl 2: 120 psi
Cyl 3: 120 psi
Cyl 4: 120...
I would like to replace the oil in my drive unit before I take the boat on the lake again. i looked the fluid type in my service manual, it says "Quicksilver C-92-68617"
Is this just like a 75W-90 Gear Lube? or something special. . .?
i work at an automotive shop and have many types of gear...
i have a steering issue i need to get straightend out. (lol) My boat turns great to the left, but not as far to the right. The wheel makes about 2 turns to go full left, and only 1 to go right. I disconnected the linkage, and moved the drive from left to right, and it is real smooth. no bindage...
well its all bad. I got into some shallow water last weekend, and bottomed out the boat. When I got out of the water, i checked my outdrive and the bottom fin was broken clean off!! my prop was damaged too, but i have a spare so no biggie. What i am worried about is that piece on the outdrive...
i have a '76 mercruiser 888 with the ford 302 in it. i was reading that the only difference between the 888 and 898 was ford / chevy motor. would i be able to fit a chev 350 in place of that ford without alot of modifications?
not a big ford fan. plus i have easy access to a decent 350.
i am in the planning stages of restoring my 76 silverline 18' tri hull. I can't seem to think how im going to paint the bottom side of the boat? -i mean right where it sits on the trailer. how have other people gone about this task? :confused:
i have a 76 silverline comoro 18T with a ford 302 / merc 888 - my trim didn't move up or down, but i could hear the pump running. i added some oil to it- in the down position, and now it comes up slowly, but not all the way. is there a bleed procedure i need to do? :confused:
Hey whats up. I have a question about my gauges. My boat is a 1976 silverline comoro 18T with a ford 302 / mercruiser 888. I just bought it from my uncle about 2 weeks ago, and he said last time he used it ( about 2 years ago ) that all the gauges work. Well, i took it on the lake and the gauges...
