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.
Noticed the top of my aluninum tank is pitted bad-inlets holes on sides too. anyone know of any boat salvage yards in Wisconsin(lower if possiable)? if I can't find use one..might try to use a couple cans and turn square hole in floor for storage? any ides here? thanks Gene <br /> 1982...
started up 115 hp Evinrude other day. was quite abit of water running out around the muffs. is this normal? didn,t really notice water discharging up farther either, but need to try again to be sure. thanks Gene
very new here so please bear with me- the Evinrude 115 on my 17 ft four winns is supported only by the 4 bolts that go thru mount and the transom(sorry on spelling. does the top of the tilt mount need to rest also on transom to bear some of the weight so all isn't on bolts? there is about 3/4...
my Evinrude 115 hp has something missing that is suppose to be in fuel line infront of motor. the line is cut between motor and hull and has gas clamp on each end. these are just resting on hull. is this where a gas filter goes or is this maybe a spot for a hand pumping primer? don't see one...
does anyone know if a starter off a Evinrude/Johnson inline 3 cylinder will work on my Evinrude V-4 115 hp? the bolt up pattern appears the same, but the base of starter looks to have differant end plate( alluninum). thinking might not be as powerfull as what I need. ( mine is stolen so can't...
the wood seems ok under transform..look again but, what can I put over the hairline stress cracks infront of motor where transform bends to go parallel with boat. basically just along the crevis of the bend? will 'chip gaurd' or simular spray-on/brush rubber base product be sufficiant? thanks...
low down in the pocket where motor mounts have minor small cracks just where hull meets back plate where motor mounts. there is a drain in this area from splashing water. is there a product to smear-paint-brush ect..so as to just keep moister out? I was thinking that maybe clear 'chip gaurd'...
the shaft on the lower unit that the prop slides on just 'clicks' when you spin it? one direction is more-so than other. is this normal? its sitting on a trailer with prop off. its a I.O. Merc 850. need to know before purchasing. thank you very much. Gene
a friend has a 80's Sea-ray with a merc 850(8..something) V-8. condition wise about same as mine. fair hull- fair to good trailer-bad interior. both have open bow. both 17+ ft. mine is a 4-winn's with a 115 Evinrude(needs starter). as a runabout family boat for occasional water ski, and...
does anyone know of a site that carries used boat motor/parts? like a 'classified'. before I spend buckets of $ on this boat..I want to find a used starter( mine got stolen) to see if motor is in good working order. this boat sat since 1997. any leads on auction/classified sites that carry used...
a couple questions please. as I don,t have a repair manual, could someone tell me the headbolt torque on 1982 Evinrude 115 hp (v-4). and secondly-can I re-use original head bolts? thank you much. p.s. ever have a head gasket leak where as compression got into water jacket along cylinder and...
I just got a boat that has low compression in one cylinder. after pulling head it was evident that the steel ring part of the head gasket had split right at top edge of bore. thus letting cumbustion shoot into water jacket surrounding cylinder. and also letting water get into cylinder. other...
