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 noticed that this connector next to the fuel pump in the middle isn't connected to anything. Any one know what this is used for?
In the other pics you'll see the choke solenoid that I'm about to clean up with carb cleaner and then test with direct 12v in the hope that I don't have to get...
I want to finally fix my hard starting issue. I've always had to tilt it to get her started when either cold or warm.
Among other possibilities, I suspect that my choke solenoid isn't working properly.
When I push the key down (I've taken the engine cowl off and turned the motor to one side...
Here are the facts: (bear with me, I've noted as much as I can remember in the order they happened)
Per the receipt I got from the prior owner, in 2004 an "annual service" to the Powerhead and lower unit were performed (R/R cylinder head, repaired spark plug hole, installed heli coils, water...
I'm looking into getting spares for my 1983 85HP coils and cd boxes which are all black in color.
Will the blue coils and cd boxes from a 1989 85HP work as spares for mine?
Thanx,

I didn't get any love on my request for a description of where a trim sending unit is installed on a Force OB so... how about you kind folks send in a picture of the unit as it is installed showing what the arm contacts on the motor frame that allows the sending unit to give position info...
OK, since mine was not designedfor one, I thought I'd try to rig a sending unit to go along with my newly added, with the great help of this forum, tilt and trim unit.
For those that have one, please let me know what the little tab on the moving arm is supposed to contact on the motor frame for...
Just thought I'd give those considering this product a heads up. I read the reviews both on this site and at BassProShops and not one mentioned that these are actually full length PVC covers that are a substitute for the bunk carpet, not for the whole bunk itself. They are installed over...
I've reach the posts and know about the tapered shafts, but I didn't come across one that had a "square" fitting on the hub like what I have.
I have taken the steering wheel off and outlined the square mount that holds the wheel in place along with a large nut and washer.
What do I need to do...
I couldn't seem to find the info after doing a forum search or at boats.net.
I'm thinking I want to fix my "starts only when tilted" problem by, as many have suggested, re-building the carbs.
What kit do I need? Where can I find them? Tips on how to go about installing the kit?
Thanx,

I have the original matching Escort Trailer for my 1983 Bayliner Capri 1600. If it wasn't in such good shape (boat and trailer always garaged by the previous owner and present owner), I'd get a new trailer.
The challenge I have is two fold:
1. The trailer beams are too inset for the Post...
New to boating and my first post...
How do I add a kill switch to my motor?
What type/model to buy?

How to install?
Where on my instrument panel should I mount it?
Tips on wiring?
