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.
25hp Evinrude, starts and idles at it should. after about 1500 rpms (estimate) the alarm speaking in the throttle control starts to click rhythmically, and then increases with speed as the rpms increase. I haven't pushed it much at all, but the boat will accelerate and get up on plane as...
Just had shop put new water pump set up in this and rebuild carb. Motor pumps water like a champ. Motor started fine, ran fine up on plane for about 2 minutes then the alarm went off, motor seemed to lose power the second the alarm went off, thinking this is a failsafe of some sort? I guess i...
gents

Hi guys
looking at picking up a used Sea Ark SunTastic aluminum deck boat to use as family mess around and fishing boat. does anyone know anything about these or about Sea Ark and the quality of that era? the boat isn't perfect and needs a few things but i can get it at what i think a...
Model Number E50TELCCS
Have a high speed issue with this motor, starts and idles easy as it always has. Under load, bogs down and doesn't come up to speed. It has been suggested that it could be a power pack issue, how can this be diagnosed accurately? We have already cleaned up the carbs...
Motor starts hard, have to advance throttle in neutral almost all the time, then runs ok from there. After its real warm, if i throttle down to idle it will stall. Again i can get it started by advancing the throttle but have to be ready so it doesnt rev high in neutral. As soon as i put in...
Tach and speedo dont work. Even when motor is off the needle on tach doesnt go to zero, and then it only goes up to 1000 no matter what, assumin tach is bad. How do i get it out of the dash, boat is a 1984 crestliner nordic. Screws on the front, but they dontnseem to release it. Any tips to...
Have a chunk oit of my prop on my 90hp '84 inline 6 outboard. I would like to buy a prop to replace asap. Some of the replacement joints mentions needing a mercury flo tech ii hub. What hub do i have already if this is a stock setup? Any recs for a prop that would go straight on? This is...
Having an issue with my motor, ran good alll day yesterday and then when i got home to flush'er out the motor stalled, but i could hear something running in the motor, sounded like the starter or something related to the starter, so naturally i turned the key to off and removed the key from the...
Re: help and don't laugh:-)
here are some better pictures of what is going on. i don't get how this setup ever worked for any boat. its not like this is way too much boat for the trailer, just weird to me but i don't have much boat trailer experience so i hope you guys know exactly what to...
been searching through the aluminum boat painting threads, tons of info. i have a 84 crestliner nordic, the two tone paint is intact and not peeling at all, it is however Fugly. I wish to paint over the Brown stripe as it is very faded. Can someone summarize the benefits/disadvantages of...
hello, my new to me crestliner nordic has a bunch of different wood trip pieces throughout the interior, mostly just thin trim pieces and the pieces that you step on getting in and out of the boat. they are in need of refinishing. what is the best process and products? looks like they had...
I need to buy a new prop for my 84 90hp Merc outboard. The old one is hammered and it looks like its already been fixed at least once. Where is the best place to buy a prop, and do i need anything other than the number off the back of the prop to buy one? I'm a rookie so i know nothing about...
check out the attached photo, and focus your attention on the winch stand of the trailer, specifically on the block of oak that sits between the winch and the winch stand. This winch stand is adjustable, but is currently adjusted all the way out. What do i need to buy to fix this rig job?
Hey guys, just beginning a new/old boat project on a 1984 Crestliner Nordic. Working through all the small electical issues and noticed that the horn doesn't work. It is similar to this

noticed that the top lower unit screw had milky oil leaking from it on my 84 Merc 90 OB. Figured it didn't make sense to start worrying about other seals as long as there was so much oil leaking out from the vent screw for the gear oil. I took the gear oil out, white as the pure driven snow...
Re: Looking for an older starcraft, need some advice
well its a done deal, brought the crestliner home today. got a good deal i think, 1300 for the whole shootin match. Trailer needs tires but no biggie. ran it in the erie canal tonight, started easy, idled great, but bogged down at mid and...
Hey guys, looking at a used boat with a 1984 merc on it. i am waiting on model info, dude is sending a pic of the plate with serial etc. The motor runs very well, in the driveway with the mouse ears on. I have no way to do a compression test. How much of a risk am i taking by just going by...
Hey guys, looking at acquiring this rig, any idea how much it weighs? i've seen a wide array of numbers on the web and i can't figure out what is right or whether it includes the motor. its on a shoreline trailer of the same year, would love to have an idea of what the total package weighs...
