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.
I just took a huge amount for a customer who wanted to see the "dirt" in the carbs.... needless to say I always take pics of wiring on way in and figured what the heck and pretty much took step by steps of the entire process. If there is interest I will post em... if not i'll save the bandwidth...
trying to help a friend get his boat up and running.....carb kits done, fuel pump replaced... carbs not synched yet... and want to make sure timing is correct before further operation..... my bro in law made bit of a mess trying to help these peeps out.... engine idles like a dream... but cuts...
as it says looking for factory manual service/repair believe engine is a 1994 40hp tracker pro by mariner serial number OD289893. Cant find on ebay or amazon... any other ideas.....

20 ft tracker pontoon, 20hp 1978 merc 7p 3 blade= 5500-5600 rpm and about 12 mph.
now i doubt that most would consider this sufficient power, but it easily pushed me against a 19mph wind, and though slow, was remarkably efficient at 3500-4000 rpm. You also have to consider that there is a 10ft...
I am looking at moving the axle (total length 24ft axle center at 18 foot from hitch, wanting to move it to 16ft from hitch to take some load off my hitch... currently there is more than 600lbs (judged by 3 strong men not being able to lift tongue) on my hitch and I don't like that. looking for...
Re: Correct Rebuilt 1972 1972 9.5HP 18-7823 fuel pump
ok.....these can be a real bugger if your not familiar with them.... 1st time i played with one was out on lake, of course in an out of the way cove away from anyone and at the wrong end of the lake.... took me a few hrs of hanging over...
well in a differnt area of the forums I have been documenting the creation of a differential steered trolling motor system for my 20ft pontoon, while making the motor mounts for this system which are made of 4" T6 aluminum C channel and 2"x1/4" T6 aluminum bar stock I made an error in the...

http://cmi-insulation.com/products/PDF/Thermax%20Heavy%20Duty%20Plus%20%2825%29.pdf
but i can't get access to it here in Yuma AZ.
so I am thinking that I can make a reasonable copy with covering both sides of dow corning pink 0.5" foam with epoxy/glass or...
OK, i have a problem, I am stripping old epoxy paint from the pontoons :( , and I need to be able to get under the pontoons to strip it there as well. I have the pontoon bunk style trailer rather than a center lift. I also have a few small holes in the pontoons at this point that I need to braze...
I put this in the pontoon section because, it is going on a pontoon, and it it most applicable to houseboats and pontoons.
The modifications to my 20ft pontoon continue as does the work. A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to get a pair of Minn Kota trolling motors,4 swivel seats, and two...
