    For Moderator Approval: Fiberglass Runabout Restoration

    My wife and I bought this boat a year ago as a project. We had planned on just doing the minimal work needed to get it on the water, but of course that didn't work out as planned. This was our first boat/engine restoration, and almost everything I learned along the way came from the iboats...

    Johnson 5.5 Seahorse CD12 new to me

    I just picked up this CD12 the other day. The points, condensors, leads etc were replaced recently but the carb needs some attention. The hi and low needles need new packing because they move about freely. I'll go ahead and redo the whole carb while I'm at it. I did notice something odd though...

    Electrical problem with rockers and gauges

    I recently started experiencing a problem with the gauges and rocker switches in my 2000 175 Seaswirl with a Volvo penta 3.0. When I flip any of the rocker switches on, the engine alarm sounds, the gauges go crazy, the switch light does not come on and the accessory doesn't work (this is with...

    Question re alarm buzzer and winterizing 2000 3.0 penta

    I just finished winterizing my 2000 3.0 penta. After changing the oil, I ran the engine and fogged the carb. The electrical was all fine at this piont. After I shut the engine down and drained the block and manifold, I noticed none of my switches or gauges were working. If I flip any of the...

    Blue and Red bow navigation light

    I have an old (1960ish) bow light with red and blue lenses. I know the current law dictates green and red, but is the old blue and red allowed? I suspect its only allowed on LE vessels, but I was hoping I could use my original light for my restoration.

    I gave my 1959 Evinrude a test run today (I've done a lot of work on this engine replacing all of the usual stuff and rebuilding all of the usual stuff). I have a couple of questions: Does that look like a normal amount of exhaust? I know thse old engines smoke, but I don't know what's the...

    1959 Evinrude 35 hp rough idle, wire question

    Hello all, this is my first post, but I've been lurking and reading for a couple of months. There's a ton of great info on iboats. :) I'm new to boating and recently bought a project boat that came with a 1960Evinrude 40hp. I started rebuilding that motor when my wife found a 1959 Evinrude 35...
