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 know how 2 cycles work, I know the engine crankcase hasn’t a need for oil, I know not to mix oil in the gas tank. Was impressed with fact that the oil/gas is mixed automatically. I just was wondering where the oil goes. Thanks! Mistakes are expensive!
Just bought, just got my first outboard. Put it on my first pontoon boat. So the Evinrude is the moon to me. 150 HP Etec. Never started it. Put new impeller pump, almost ready to go. I read the oil (Evinrude) oil, which I will use religiously is mixed automatically, sweet. Question 1. Where in...
What’s a good part number for aluminum intake manifold? Is there really a marine intake. The heads require 12 bolts. I see several that look just like the cast iron marine manifold I currently have. Currently looking at Edelbrock 2040
Almost done building a new 383 stroker. 4 Bolt main, scat crank and con rods. Aluminum heads. I found an aluminum intake that looks just like my old 305 ci Mercruiser currently installed cast iron. I want to sell old motor with all the iron I can save to increase the possibility of selling it...
This is hopefully correct, please feel free to step in. Rotation is viewed from the back of the engine looking forward. Single engine boats are standard rotation, left hand, counterclockwise, just like a car. So the left or port engine (Twin Engine Boat) is standard rotation, left hand rotation...
old Crownline. 202 Br 1999. I’m replacing engine from 305 to 383 Stroker. Steering stiff. Thinking since everything other than the cable is new, PUMP and RAM. replace the cable. Any required info on the cable? Shifter too. So what’s a real nice joy stick shifter that will last a long long time...
I was told that if you take your new StearnDriveEngineering outdrive and treat it like a 5 year old broke in Mercruiser. Yer gonna regret it.
I read the break in procedure, it honestly will take me all summer to properly break it in. I’m willing, not able.
I will follow it for one tank of gas...
I removed pump from engine, I removed pulley with approved puller remover/installer kit. I removed reservoir I got part number off the old casting on the pump. Bought new pump using those numbers. I matched the numbers on the new pump. I exchanged regulator, replaced the reservoir. Everything...
I'm not going to upgrade until boating season is over here in Chicago. Currently my engine has newer World heads SR casting 052s. Qjet 4bbl. 600 cfm. Anyway, I see lots of options. I want to use my current heads. I want more power. So just grabbing a 5.7 short block may or may not do the trick...
When I bought my boat from the dealer, he recommended a transom lock. He installed the lock, never gave me the key, I've asked several times until finally he said I must pay to have it removed. I have a welder, MacGyver, you got any tried and true methods?
I'm trying to replace my steering actuator in my 1999 Crownline 202 BR. I have the 2 hoses removed, the main bolt and the pin. All that's remaining is the steering cable, then HOPEFULLY it will come out. My questions are. 1. If everything is disconnected, will it come out. I hear one guy say...
I started last week working on neighbors milkshaker. Cleaned out oil/water, put in new oil, ran in driveway with the flush muffs. 30 minutes. Checked oil. Looked great, no shake. Went on river for over 1/2 hour, got home, checked oil, no shake, level perfect. Next trip, Went on river 5 minutes...

Hi, I have a strong gas smell when I remove the boat cover. Issue just started. I've checked the gas lines from the tank to the electric fuel pump and all the way up to the carburetor. My gas tank...
