    2003 Ranger Bay 2300 - Adhesive Rubrail is coming off, repair or replace?

    Hello, I've got a 2003 Ranger Bay 2300. It has a white rubrail on it that is only held on by double sided adhesive. Around my fuel fill, and a few spots where my boat lift slings rest, the adhesive has failed. It is almost 14yrs old...so I can't complain. However, I am having a hard time...

    1994 Yamaha C115 won't shift

    I have a friend with a 1994 C115 that runs great, good compression, minimal corrosion. He is trying to sell his boat, and when he went to offer a test ride the boat wouldn't shift into forward or reverse. This was the first time he had ever had this issue (murphys law!). He brought it home...

    2005 J150PLSOE 150hp V6 Saltwater Johnson - Possible to read hours? Diagnostic?

    I'm having trouble figuring out whether or not this engine has a built in diagnostic port or hour meter. Anyone know for sure? I'm going to look at it later and want to see if I can get as much info out of it as I can. The owner said it has 23hrs, but I'm not sure how he would know if you can't...

    I purchased the following kit: 3F3871221M It is for a 99 Nissan NS70C I dismantled the carbs today, and I've got a place for every part in my kit except for these small black stopper/plugs. They are not much larger than a pencil lead. The part in question is on the far right. It is not the...

    NS70C Nissan 1999 - Crack in Gearcase where Prop Shaft Housing meets

    I've got about a 1" crack in the gearcase on the port side, right where the end of the prop shaft housing sits out of the lower unit. It does not appear to be leaking, my lower unit fluid does not have water in it (although the oil is dark, it isn't milky and still smells like gear oil). I...

    Hello all, It has been a few years since I've had a boat, and a few years since I've tinkered with one. I had a 1995 Blue Wave 189T that I completely refinished. I believe I had a thread on this website, but who knows if the pics are still working. Basically I removed all of the interior...

    Suzuki DF140 Twins - Highest safe operating RPM?

    Hey guys, Boat in question: World Cat 230SF Power: Twin Suzuki DF140's I read through the manual and it basically says the highest operating RPM on these engines should be between 5600-6200RPM, depending on your prop. It did not say what the safe 'cruising' range is. I wouldn't think it would...

    Intermittent Miss / Rough idle / Wont Rev - fuel related? UPDATED!!

    1995 88SPL Ok guys, If you have been following my previous posts, I had an intermittent miss when idling for any period of time. I thought I fixed it after having the carbs rebuilt, and the plugs/plug wires changed. It would idle great on the hose for any length of time. I then had a problem...

    Any Starter Gurus?

    Well, I recently figured out my rough idle/intermittent spark problem, thank god! BUT, now I've found another problem :% :| (darn used outboards! :devil:). After testing the spark problem, I adjusted my throttle cables and checked my out-of-water idle. As I was doing this, I happened to look...

    Intermittent Ignition/Spark problem - coil? Plug Wires?

    1995 88SPL Evinrude I've been having a problem with my engine after idling/low speed cruising for a bit. It seems to 'load up', running a little rough. It almost seemed as if it wasn't getting enough fuel at idle, or if the plugs were getting fouled up and firing incorrectly. I pulled the...

    Pulling Carbs - anything else I should do?

    I'm planning to pull the carbs off of my 1995 88 SPL 'Rude. Should I go ahead and do anything else while I'm in there? Any other preventive maintenance items that are fairly inexpensive? SQ

    1995 Rude 88spl - carb rebuild? fuel/spark issues

    The problems: Cold starts, especially when in the water, can be tough. I usually have to give the engine gas to get it started when in the water (not sure why this is any different then when it is on the hose). Once it is warmed up, it will fire right up unless it has been idling for a long...

    1995 'Rude 88SPL - trolling/idle/starting issues.

    When idling/trolling this weekend, if I held it below 1500rpms for much longer than 10 minutes (slow trolling), it would begin to load up heavily. If I would give it throttle, it would bog for a good 5 or 6 seconds and then take off. It's apparently a fuel or spark problem. My question is...

    Sending Unit reading backwards...

    Ok guys, almost a year ago I replaced the sending unit on my boat. The unit worked, but the gauge read full when empty and vice versa.<br /><br />I remember reading somewhere on the instructions about what could cause this.<br /><br />I left it alone not worrying about it because it is a paint...
