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.
The suggestion to use a donut came from a friend of mine. I have real spares for my pontoon and bass boat. This is for my little boat that I refurbished a used trailer for. Most of my trips are less than thirty miles round trip. I'm over sixty and have a lot experience at different things, but...
Hiawatha has a phelon mag. When I finally got the flywheel off I found the magnets had fallen off the flywheel. I need to glue them back on. I hate two part adhesives, but might have to go that way. I need suggestions to fix. I have 2 other scotts but the flywheels are different. I was going to...
Last season I had a problem with the primer bulb collapsing. The fuel tank vent is open, but I think my hose was too flexible and was collapsing where it makes a sharp bend. So I'm replacing the line. What size should I use? 3/8, or 5/16? Also I read an article that said the bulb should be...
Sometimes when launching our 24' pontoon with a 90hp Nissan someone has to push it some to get off the trailer. Of course backing in further would be easiest but sometimes it's more shallow. My question is would trimming up the motor help? I usually don't load passengers till after launching, so...
I have a 24' Nissan pontoon with a 90hp Nissan. Maybe 1986 vintage. It seems like the tongue weight is too much. There are no scales within 40 miles to check it. The trailer it came on is not the original and must have been for a smaller boat as I had to move the bunks out some for a good fit...
sometimes after priming and starting i only go about 100 yards then it quits. squeeze bulb agin and runs ok till i stop for awhile and it does this again. can't tell if i have any air leaks and think i replaced the primer bulb and line about a year ago. i was going to replace the pump but...
A while back I found a couple of corsairs on a junk pile. One looked larger than the other. I'm assuming maybe a 7.5 and a 5 hp. I did not look at them very close and might go back when warmer. I think the 7.5 would use a remote tank and have shift. I can't find much info on the 5 hp. would it...
I have a 24 foot pontoon on tandem trailer that I tow with an old 97 grand cherokee with the 4.0 six. I only go about 10 miles each way and it works ok. sometimes I use my 04 with the same motor, seems like less power. I'm replacing the 04 because it was totaled. I am looking at an 05 with the...
I found a starcraft supersport 16' with a 40 hp 1986 Yamaha outboard. I don't know anything about this motor. looks underpowered to me. good? bad? comments, thanks!
Under the black paint, under the gold paint I find a nice light blue, I think this is original color. Recoil and lower unit off-white? Badge on front yucky tanish ugly color? anyone have any pics?
My martin only starts when mag is almost fully advanced. Is it possible I have the points set to wide? It is hard to tell what is fully open when setting gap.
I am only getting a small mist and some sputtering out of the 2 pee-holes on the down tube. When I blew out the water tube from the pump housing with a compressor I got most of the air out of the exhaust tube and a little out of the tell-tales. Is that normal?
Picked up an old martin 40 yesterday, model BB 75101, which indicates it is a 45, maybe, decal says 40. Fair compression and weak spark on 1 cylinder. pulled flywheel and of course coils shot. Looked up price of coils and am thinking about using some omc coils, laminates measure about the same...
I was ready to buy a minn kota 40lb. with 36" shaft when I discovered a watersnake 54lb. with a 42" shaft. I think the longer shaft will make it easier to operate when I'm sitting on my pedestal seat on my 16' aluminum bass boat. Also I could mount it on the bow of my 24' pontoon to move around...
Purchased as a wizard with decals but no id tag. Flywheel says r e phelon. numbers on block 170 2284. any idea what year? I'm pretty sure it is a 3.6. has the recoil starter. any help appreciated.
