    Intermittant No Power 60HP

    My son's 1996 3 cylinder 60HP will occasionally do nothing when he tries to start it, no clicks or anything. If he taps, not hard, the plastic electrical cover it will start. I removed the cover and saw no signs of a bad connection. The cable from the relay to the starter had been replaced at...

    Yamaha 250 HPDI Rebuilt PH BUrnt Piston Issue

    2003 250HPDI, blew #2 cylinder at 503 hours. The price when I bought the boat was low enough to justify another PH in the future, and more. My yard got a rebuilt PH from large well respected company that only sells to dealers. All the oiling upgrades were done before I bought it. I went over...

    2003 HPDI rebuilds reliable?

    I have twin 2003 HPDI's. Manufacture dates are 12/02 and 1/03. The engines had 450 hours when I bought the boat. One had 40 hours on a new power head replaced by a Yamaha dealer. At 500 hours I lost a cylinder in the other engine and am having my mechanic install a reman power head from Outboard...

    2001 OX66 225 will not plane

    I do not know the service history on this boat as it is new to me. Boat ran for about 12 hours then would not plane (we were on vacation). As it starts to go bow up it reduces RPM's but doesn't die. Replaced LP pumps, clean VST but it wasn't very dirty. Replaced Racor, cleaned filter inside the...

    Nissan 1998 9.8 question

    How many turns out from bottom should the adjustment screw be on the carb? What does this adjust? Also before even fooling with the screw the engine would only crank and run for a short time if the throttle is wide open. Now it will only act like it wants to start but will not only if the...

    2001 Evinrude 225 Ficht Ram

    I am very interested in a boat with the above engine. All I know is that it has 230 hours, the computer and oil pump have been replaced and the seller has been happy with the performance. The boat was bought in February of 2002 so I will assume it is a late 2001 engine. If this engine is still...

    1998 9.8 Nissa - No fuel

    A couple of months ago I took the carb apart because no fuel was getting to the bowl, I opened the bowl drain and only a few drops came out. The inside was very clean, no build up and the float looked really good with no sticking. I did not see any trash that may have caused a plugged up hole...

    1998 Johnson Torque Pull

    I went down to a 15"x15" prop from a 15"x17" on a 1998 Johnson 150 Ocean Runner on a 21' CC. I also replace the steering mechanism. I now have a lot more pull to the right on the wheel (have to keep counter-clockwise pressure on the wheel). I am assumming it is from the increased torque of the...

    T-Top Installation

    I finally found a T-Top at a reasonable price for my 21ft Wellcraft CCF. It was built for another boat and will require some welding. When mounting to the floor, will large screws into the floor, which is wood backed, work or am I just asking for trouble. There is no access from below so i would...

    Bimini Frame

    I broke my bimini frame this weekend. There was very bad corrosion under the slide jaws. The canvas is in great shape and the slide jaws and other hardware is stainless and also in good shape. Does anyone know where I can get just the aluminum pipes? It is a 4 bow, 80" wide, 8" high. Or would i...

    1998 2 cycle 150 Johnson Oceanrunner RPM's

    I have recently bought a 1998 Wellcraft 21 ' CC with a 150 Johnson Oceanrunner. I have used it a couple of times and am struggling with the opitum RPM's. The prop seems well matched. What is max RPM's and what would be the most efficient cruise RPM's? It seems 3500 sounds good. This is full...

    Shoreland'r Rusted Through

    I bought a well kept 1998 21' Wellcraft CC with galvinized Shoreland'r trailer recently. The trailer is in excellent condition except for one thing. On each side rail, about 1 " behind where they are welded to the tongue, there is a rust through on top about 3" long and 1" wide. The weird thing...

    04 Tohatsu 25 HP Foot Failure

    5 months old, worked well yesterday. Today it started to idle with noise and would not fully engage in reverse. Took out of water and noticed the "ring" in front of the prop was broken, pushed toward the rear. I took off the prop, then the "ring" assembly, which opened the foot up. There was...

    Tohatsu 15 to 18HP Conv.

    To convert 1998 15hp to 18hp, is all that is necessary is 60mm pistons, bore cylinder, gaskets and replace the throttle cam?<br /><br />Anything else to "boost it" that wouldn't greatly deminish engine life?<br /><br />Maybe a better question is where is a good source for good used 18hp?<br...

    9.8B Upgrade

    Any quick suggestions for enhancing a 1999 9.8B performance? It is on a lightwieght 14 ft flatbottom fishing boat. I had thought it was one you could turn into a 15HP but I guess that is the 9.9 series. It has an 8.5 prop. I assume that is the pitch, 8.5 is stamped on the prop hub.<br /><br...
