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.
Just like it says, Is there a difference between 806031c and 806031a 2 Gimbal bell housings? 1999 Bayliner capri w/ 3.0 Merc alpha 1 gen II outdrive. Thank you in advance.
How much heat can I put into the housing to get the brass shift cable fitting out of the housing? I have easy outs and a propane torch. any other suggestions? 1997 Bayliner Capri 1750 w/Alpha one Gen 2. Thanks in advance.
I have a 1997 bayliner Capri 1750 (second owner). When I bought it the radio didn't work. I looked under the dash and the fuse attached to the radio (glass 10amp) was blown. I changed it and still nothing. Is there another fuse panel or place I should look before I just invest in a new radio...
Hey all, even though were are still covered in snow I can't stop thinking about our boat. The only issue I had last season was the fuel gauge was stuck on full:confused:. I know my 1997 Bayliner capri w/merc 3.0 I/O is good on gas but not that good. Any ideas on where I should start looking...
Hi all I just scored a really nice 1997 Bayliner 1750 LS w/ a 3.0 Merc. :) It was Professionly Winterized at the end of 09' and now I need t wake it up. This is my first I/O. I have woken up several outboards but I assume there is more to I/O. Thanks for your help.
I have been in the market for a New or Newer used boat. I was at Bass pro Shops the other day and fell in love with the Tahoe. It has everything I am looking for in a boat. My main thing is the fiberglass deck with the removable carpet and an I/O engine. The price is GREAT! but thats what...
Im looking at a 1988 Sun Runner that has a Merc ib/ob. The owner claims it has water in the oil. What else could it be other than a head gasket? I know in automotive that is most common but I am aware there is more to the marine engines. I believe ir is a 3.0 Merc. with alpha 1 outdrive...
I have a 1990 force 50 on my Bayliner Capri. I have found this year I have a rotted floor :( ( surprise ). I have started the floor replacement but not sure if the boat is worth it. It might be worth more parting it out. The Motor has good compression and has treated me well the past 2...
OK guys, I jumped in knee deep today. I will start from the top.
You might remember my post about the soft spot on the floor. I pulled the carpet out completely and the whole floor was soaking wet. I started by cutting a 6"x6" hole in the middle around where the bad spot was. what i found...
Im contimplating replacing my floor ( and probably stringers and transom ) due to your suggestions. I have been reading a lot of these threads and watch a lot of videos you have all posted and think I might lose the summer and do it. the question I have is I see everybody take all the foam...
Hey folks, After a long winter here in Mass. I have a bit of a soft spot on my 1990 Bayliner Capri floor. I dont want to take the whole thing apart because im hoping to upgrade to a better boat the end of the year or next year. Have you ever heard of anyone putting new plywood over the old...
I have a 1990 Force 50 hp (507x90D) She has been running great. The only thing is I can only start it in the high idle position. And if I pump the bulb at the first start it floods. What could this be? I checked the fuel pump diaphram and it looks old but not torn. I will replace it anyway...
So I Went to the lake Saturday and the boat wouldnt turn over fast enough AGAIN! Like I have said in previuos posts I have been having this trouble since I got the boat. this is my second used starter. I was going to just buy a new one this time but figured what do I have to lose. I took it...
I am looking for suggestions on websites to price out a starter. I am on my second used starter and again went to the lake today and the bendix stuck up on me and started cranking real slow AGAIN!:mad: I think I just need to replace with a new one. I priced out ofcourse IBOATS (so far the...
I have a 1990 50hp force. I put in a new impeller ( thanks tothe directions at the top) fired it up today and plenty of water coming out. motor stayed fairly cool to the touch but there was a lot of exuast smoke. I have not decarbed yet, but is this normal? Its running in a barrel filled...
Hey all! I havent been on in a while. Its getting close to boating season here in Mass. and I need to change my impeller. I have read the Sticky at the top with Franks wonderful instructions. I was just wondering if there is anything differant on my 50 2cyl than those instructions. If not Im...
Just a little FYI. I ordered an impeller from Boats.net last Fri. It was in stock. as of today still not shipped, but ofcourse they took my money already. That was the first and last time I use that website. I hope this will persuade any of you from ordering from there.
Thanks for letting...
