    Wanted; Opinions and feedback on pointless ignition.

    Hello folks, I have been messing with points and timing on an inline four Mercruiser/120. I finally came to the point of wanting to omit the points all together and install a generic pointless ignition kit. I went to the local CarQuest supplier and spent a good hour to finally come up with...

    '73-7.5HP control gear mod.

    Hello folks, The motor is a '73 7.5 Merc with a tiller. I am considering putting a control on the side of a small lightweight aluminum 12 footer so I can sit more centered and secure, as I am a big guy and the boat is small and light weight (I have it for a few reasons.) I know from looking...

    7.5hp Merc prop problem?

    Hello folks, I did a quick search for anything on a '73-7.5hp merc outboard, as one was handed to me, but I seem to own the only one in existence.:D First Merc OB for me too! I had no problem starting it, as a matter of fact it runs very quiet and smooth with lots of pep, and everything...

    For those of you who like old wooden boats.

    I found some old pictures of a girlfriend I had not too long ago by the name of "Chris". Turned out she loved water and was built for it too. She was built in Algonac Michigan in 1937 at Chris Craft, and was likely outfitted to the customers specs as she had two heads, one forward opposite the...

    Sign in request.

    Why am I constantly being asked to sign in under a user name and a pass word, when I am already signed in? A popup window (Iboats related) requires a username and a password, but I can still continue with the tasks at hand. PH.

    Thought I'd take a cruise.

    I'm on my way home from Ponchatoula, LA. Howdy New Orleans!....Baton Rouge, I figured I'd get out of the cold for a few days...... forget that idea! It was cold everywhere I went regardless of the temperatures! I,m camping out here in (just south of) Birmingham, AL. and it is not too bad...

    Any one ever play with the "build your own submarine" idea?

    Just wondering If I am alone here at Iboats, on a subject that would implicate building a boat that'll sink on purpose!:eek: I have collected some materials and odds and ends thru the last 10 years for when I finally get to go ahead with the idea. Finances?? what's that mean? Build it and it...

    Iboater profiling?

    I think of all of you folks as family already, since we all share this obvious need for anything boats. I also noticed that quite a few of you like music, and some even have alluded to playing some instruments. My question is how many of you play or have played a guitar, banjo or any other...

    Humminbird Wide 128 no go problem.

    Happy new year all, Dug out the ol' Hummer and plugged it in to test and check, and it's dead. This is one I pulled, because I sold the boat it was in and it was fairly new and working nicely. I stored it for three years padded and boxed. It could have been exposed to some sub zero weather for...

    Cuckoo for coco puffs, but mostly in boats!

    Any one else have a problem with hogging projects? It seems that where ever I look, I see something my fingers need to touch and reconstruct (boats more then any other,) or at least take apart and re-design! If it doesn't need anything at all I can still just take it apart and clean it...

    Ident, used Citation mid-late 70's?

    Hello, I have, what may well be, a mid 70's Citation 120 4 cyl. I/O Mercruiser. Serial FSJFR266M815. The boat is a 19.5ft cuddy, and I would like to know a little more about it than the paperwork shows. I am not worried about the I/O, that's simple enough, but you'd figure there would be a...

    Steury revival hour.

    Hello folks, Just got back from looking and hauling a boat that was offered to me, and found it to be a very good looking one but also found it to be as ablolete as can be, I think it is the only one left on earth! Saying all of that..., I DID get it as I go for the underdog all the time. Power...
