    1995 force 70 hp ignition help

They may seem simple to Some, but not me, so for the benefit of others I broke the rule and just started throwing parts at it and got lucky, first a new stator, no spark, then rectifier, no...

    1995 force 70 hp ignition help

    So there is no regular kill switch on this boat, where you would pull out a clip and the engine would ground. But the key switch would stop the engine in the off position. Is there a way I could have pulled a wire to it that would allow me to crank the engine, but it would still not let power to...

    1987 fisher sv-16 dlx partial restoration

    I know that these boats aren't exactly the top of the line, but I picked it up fairly cheap ( boat and trailer) $ 700. And 16' are hard to come by. First pic is the condition i started with. 10,000 rusty self tapping screws held the one piece all aluminum floor down. And the floor felt solid...

    I have a dozen of these older 40s, all different years but they all have one thing in common. The steering in them are all loose. Does anyone have a fix for this. I'm not sure how to get in there without tearing the whole thing apart. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I cleaned both plugs and reinstalled and ran for a few hours, she started to run rough again so I pulled the plugs and the lower was starting to load...

    I installed a tiller arm on this motor and for some reason the throttle has a lot of pull back on it. It has the feeling of being spring loaded and as soon as I take pressure off of throttle it snaps back and I loose power. Its just a chore. Ive lubed all the correct areas. Anyone have advice...
