    Car Question

    I seem to be having trouble making my hardware run this season. This toy sits too much. I just started it up for the first time in over a year. It started fine but ran pretty ragged off idle. I let it run till it warmed up a bit. I thought I'd check the point gap and it seemed a little tight...

    Upgrading to a 4bbl Carb?

    I've decided that my 28 y/o Gulfstream should go out in a flurry of ping pong balls. :D Call it a midlife crisis or whatever you like but after all these years of faithful service the venerable old 302 is finally gonna get a cam and carbuerator to match those under-utilized 351w heads.<br...

    Guns vs Pleasure Boats?

    Why shouldn't we apply the same logic to Pleasure Boats as many fearful people do to Firearms?<br /><br />It would be interesting to know how many people are injured, maimed or killed each year, in Western Civilization, by Pleasure Boats. Now, we know that we can't include automobiles in this...

    OMC 302 running horribly! *$$$ BINGO $$$*

    Out of the blue, my motor has begun running extremely rough at all rpms with constant stalling at lower rpms. It appeared not to be a fuel issue so I checked the voltage to the coil. It only has 4.28 volts to the 'batt' terminal on the coil. It shows no voltage from the terminal on the other...

    Under floor floatation? Ping Pong Balls?

    In a previous post, from one of the forum's great and wise floor rebuilders, a somewhat tongue and cheek comment was made about using plastic pop bottles in place of foam. <br /><br />After reading many posts about the cost and hassle of administering a re-foam job, this comment continued to...

    Costco does it again!

    Using a slick little 1200 psi electric pressure washer that I bought at Costco, I turned my ugly green boat cover back to a beautiful, rich brown color. That's right up there, in my mind, with Costco New York Steaks. I just spent the better part of three hours cleaning half of the Pacific...

    Will duct tape.......

    Will duct tape hold up as a dam for epoxy resin, or will the epoxy eat thru it? I am making a 2 x 4 support across the inside of my curved transom to distribute the load of a center mounted ski tow eye. The boat has an OMC 800 so the transom is only about a 1/4 inch thick. The outside has a...

    Broken OMC outdrive lift quadrant gear;

    I have a bud in So Cal who says this gear has flat broken off of the upper gear housing. It's about a late 60's-early 70's electric shift OMC out drive. Any suggestions on inexpensive used parts? Rebuilt upper gear cases cost an arm and a leg and they may not even except the old case as a...
