    Chrysler 757Ha Plug Wire OEM number

    Just before summer ended I got a small Bayliner bass boat that was modified with a Chrysler 75HP, model #757HA. Took the cover off to check her out and get ready to winterize and I notice one of the plug wires is noticeably cracked. The wires go from the plugs and into the cap, not sure how...

    What's the fuel-oil ration for a 1979 Chrysler 75HP outboard? Pretty sure it's 50-1 but want to be positive.

    Volvo Penta 125A not pumping water

    I have a Bayliner Capri with the Volvo Penta 125A motor in it. I recently posted on here because the copper coolant pipe which goes from the water pump to the strainer was leaking around the seal. I installed a new gasket and added extra support to the bolt under the pipe that helps hold it...

    Volvo Penta 125A leaking water from coolant pipe

    I have a mid 80's model Bayliner Capri that has a Volvo Penta 125A motor in it. Took it "out" for the 1st time today, and didn't get any further than the dock. There is a copper pipe that runs from the water pump to the plastic strainer housing that is leaking water horribly. The pipe is hown...

    Volvo 270 outdrive AQ125

    I just got a used 85 Bayliner Capri with a Volvo AQ 125 2.1L motor and a Volvo 270 outdrive. When I popped off the cushion lid over the motor, I noticed a decent amount of water sitting in the bottom of the compartment. Now I'm not a complete idiot, but it doesn't seem as if there should be...

    Decisions decisions Sea Ray vs. Bayliner

    Okay, I am well aware that many boat snobs will laugh at this choice but I'm seeking some advice. I can possibly trade my 20' Flotebote with 40HP Mercury even up for EITHER a 85 Bayliner Capri openbow with a 2.1 Volvo inboard or a 92 Sea Ray 160 openbow with a 60HP Mariner outboard. I want a...

    40 HP Mercury 402 smoking and dying

    Fired up my 79 Merc 402 for first time in 2 months (yes that's a crime) and she was really hard to start. Once she did she smoked a lot more than usual. After about 30 minutes I realized that there was a bigger issue; she was still smoking a lot and started to run erratic. Eventually she lost...

    Pontoon prop depth

    I have an older Harris Flotebote that has an adjustable transom. For those not familiar with the set up, essentially the motor is mounted on a bracket/rear of the transom which pivots up and down by raising and lowering a large handle into one of 5 or so slots. I've tried it in the lowest...

    Mercury 402 revs high before shifting into Forward

    I have a 79 Mercury 402 40HP outboard which was runnign just fine this year. Last time I took it out it shifted into reverse just fine and putted along, but after I shifted into neutral then into forward I had a problem. I had to rev the throttle waaaaaay higher than I ever had to before it...
