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.
being 74 years old and helping a guy with one leg I didn't think that moving a 375lb motor with another motor on the transom was a real good idea but thanks anyway, We pushed and pulled on the cable under the gunnel and got it out, cleaned it up and put it back together. Seems like it works...
2001 lund 1700 fisherman, 2001 Merc 90 4 cycle.
Steering cable won't come out of motor it looks like it's hitting the side of the boat in the splash well where it goes into the gunnel, and won't flex. Got most of the rod out of motor now I don't know what to do. Any ideas. Thanks
2001 lund with 2001 merc 90 4 cycle. Trying to remove steering cable after finding that the steering wheel would only turn one way. Doesn't seem like cable is flexible enough to clear side of boat where the cable goes into gunnel. Any ideas how to get cable out so it can be cleaned? Thanks
Is there a right and wrong way to jack up a trailer to change tires. I have a 17.5 Lund with a 90hp 4stroke and a 9.9 4stroke on the back, and want to put new tries on it. Can I raise the trailer with a jack under the axle or under the frame of the trailer. I've watched video's that say Never...
I bought a used Lund, outboard. I'm wanting to wash the vinyl floor. Can I just hose it off when done cleaning? Where does water go. All my other boats had carpet. I had to ask.
Recent purchase of an 01 Adventure 1700. wanting to clean the vinyl floor, and wondering if I can just hose the floor off when I'm done. Stupid question but where is the water going to go. Previous boats had carpet. Don't beat me up, I had to ask. thanks.
My fishing friend is in the hospital and ask me to do some work on his engine on his Lund. 2001 Mercury ELPTO 90hp 4 stroke, used only in freshwater. Looking around under the cowl I didn't see a fuel filter. After viewing some videos, I'm seeing that there's supposed to be one located under the...
9.9 mercury kicker motor start switch not turning all the way to start, where to get new one. Motor is on a Lund boat kicker and main motor have seperate key switches and controls. key switches are both on the dash.
my engine harness has black and red wires that go to the starting battery, another red wire that goes to the key switch to start the engine. If your engine is turning over when you hook cables to the battery, something is wrong.
thanks, this one doesn't have permanent magnets, has a wire broken on one of the brushes, lots of brush dust, I was just curious about the magnets, that's why the comment about the armature "flopping around". Others I've worked on stayed inside held by the magnets.
I have a 75 merc 850 that uses an external hydraulic pump for tilt and trim. I took it apart to look at the brushes because it wasn't working. After taking the cap off I noticed that the armature was just flopping around inside. Other armature's that I've worked on have permanent magnets inside...
I have always heard the horror stories about carbs being dirty because the grey
fuel lines fail, and pieces end up somewhere in the carb. I have never experienced this
in my many years of boating. Until today. Not having engine problems, but this
could have led to it. I have two motors for two...
thanks for the reply's, I took the starter off the motor and took it apart again just to have a look at it, nothing looked out of place. put it back on and it worked, Don't know why or how but it's working.
New to me 1984 90hp Johnson outboard, starter not turning engine over real fast so took the starter off, replaced brushes, cleaned up commutator put back together, and now the drive assembly on the starter doesn't move up to engage the flywheel. I greased the threads on the starter and the...
The threads that connect the swivel fitting to the tank are stripped out, and leak. I've tried thread tape, and pipe dope, and nothing helps. Can a new hole be drilled into the tank and a new fitting added? thx
