    Mercruiser 3.0 starter

    Okay: while we're here ... that's part of what was throwing me. @Fun Times what you posted calls my engine a '98, and it's a 2003. That's what I kept pulling up though. And the image of the starter in the tech bulletin is REALLY close ... but there's an extra bracket on the back that I don't have.

    Mercruiser 3.0 starter

    ^^^ Good call. I didn't think about that. I know dis' guy! Used to take the tilt motor from the old Stringer to him. I think I'll give that a whirl.

    Mercruiser 3.0 starter

    Cool stuff. Thanks guys. I have the staggered bolt pattern. NAPA dude had a starter he cross referenced against it, but neither of us could find any indication it was a marine starter. I thought I knew what a marine starter looked like for spark shielding, but now I'm not so sure I did. Is there...

    Mercruiser 3.0 starter

    Okay - I've got a little issue with the Bilgeliner. (This is literally the first significant thing I've had to fix on this boat!) I'm pretty positive the starter isn't working properly. I can hear it spinning, but it's not engaging the flywheel. What I don't know how to do properly is test it...

    1981 stringer drive leak

    That's probably the housing part number, model number is going to be something like 200FTHRCIS. You need to find the tag on your engine. It should have a model number on it.

    1981 stringer drive leak

    I'm more inclined to think your lower unit needs resealed or has a crack. I'd pull the drive and separate the upper and lower. See where the leak starts.

    Identifying old Ranger boat

    '74 doesn't look off for that hull design. In the early 1970s EVERYBODY was making trailer boats, so finding information on a particular one is gonna' be tough. That's a pretty common design for fishing boats. Max HP rating is likely right about 10HP, maybe 15HP. It won't go fast with that six...

    Do I need a title for registration or can I just have a bill of sale

    Looks like you need a title in MN: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/licenses/watercraft/index.html Best bet is to call.

    I didn't see snow skis on the landing gear ... that's encouraging, right?

    First plane ride/snow !

    I was in Miami beach earlier this week. Coming back to Nashville wasn't too bad (was comfortable in shorts and a sweater), but the plane was going on to Milwaukee. I think the flight attendants were handing out shovels.
