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 have a 1997 Johnson 175 with hydraulic steering and the cylinder seams to be leaking fluid and in turn, the boat is becoming more difficult to turn. I just replaced the missing fluid with Lucas power steering fluid in hopes that it would buy me some time but would you guys know how I would go...
The motor is a 1997 Johnson 175 Ocean Runner. When the boat was pulled in the fall all was good, the oil was changed, and the engine was fogged. When I went to start the motor for the first time this season after changing the fuel filter, she gave a little trouble which I expected and then ran...
I am looking at a boat with a 1984 Johnson 115 on the back. The motor is not getting any spark and the owner said he believes that it is the packs? How much money would this cost to replace and how difficult would it be?
I am looking to buy a boat with a 1997 Johnson 175 on the back. It is the carbed version. I gave it a compression test and the numbers were
110 - 115
110 - 110
100 - 100
Are these readings good? I know that there is a 15psi gap and that kinda scares me. Is that really that big of a deal? Also...
I am looking to buy a 1997 Sea-Pro 21 W/A. I was hoping someone could give me a little background info on the boat. Is it a worth wile investment? How is the ride to it? Does it handle choppy water well?
OK, so im on my first project boat. I used it all last summer and it served me well, I love to boat. To keep it running well, I decided that this winter I would redo the deck because it was soft. I started ripping it apart and found out that it was all crap. I left it alone for a while and then...
I am now in the market to move up to a bigger boat and have my eye on two that I am trying to decide between and need your help to which would be my better option.
1) 1982 Grady White 22' W/A. The hull has its fair usage and would need its touch ups such as bottom paint, a new gel coat, and...
I just looked at a 1982 Grady White WA with a 1998 Johnson 175 Fitch on the back. I have been hearing very bad things about this motor and when I confronted the seller about this, he knew what I was talking about and said that the problems have been fixed. He said that the 2000 upgrades were put...

I was out the other day and after cruising in with myself and father, I went to slow the boat down for the no wake zone and the motor just shut down. I went to restart it and it would just sputter. After getting towed in and letting the boat sit for about an hour, it started back up and ran for...

I recently purchased a 1982 Pro-Line 22 walkaround with a 1984 Yamaha 150. I looked the boat over in the guys yard, the transom was solid, there were no spider...
I am looking to buy a boat with this engine and I was hoping you guys could help me out a little here. Is this motor worth the money or not?
Ive herd the engine run and it sounds fine, the owner was just telling me though that he believes that the float level needs to be tuned on the carbs and...
I have seen the boat and almost positive that I am going to buy it however, I do not know if I am going to be able to tow it. Right now I have a single axel trailer that was previously holding a 1987 Citation Caprice 195. The boat was a cuddy cabin with a 4cyl volvo and had a spungy deck. The...

Like an idiot I pulled all of wires on the engine without marking down which one goes to which cylinder and now cant figure it out. Was hoping that someone could help me out on this. The boat is a 1987 Citation Caprice with a 4-cylinder volvo penta. Really can not tell you anything more then...
After talking to you all the last time you told me that there is no Bayliner Caprice, rather Capri. Now when I picked the boat up, it says caprice on the side and so does the title. Who screwed u?

Just picked up my boat over the weekend. Can someone help me out with what engine this is?
First things first, I cleaned the boat up a bit before I tried starting it. I found that the battery was dead so I pulled it and put it on the charger over night. Next thing was to pull the plugs and...
The guy that i bought my boat from said that the adenoids needed to be replaced. Can anyone help me out with this? I dont know what that is and dont know where to get it.
Will be begining my deck replacement prodject next week and was just wondering what tools I will be needing to do this and does anyone have any tips on doing it?
