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 bought a 1973 browning open bow tri hull with a great running 125 johnson v4. I bought it for parts for a boat I'm building I paid $150 for the whole thing. After looking it over the floors are solid and the hull and transom are solid, and according to my mechanic the engine is tip top...
!980 wellcraft with a 470 170 hp. I can run on muffs in driveway all day or troll around the no wake area for hours with no problem but as soon as I go full throttle it starts to overheat W.T.F.
First off I will say I know this topic has been beat to death. I did the rebuild and carb runs great. But I have rebuilt many auto carbs and I thought that somewhere during the rebuild I would have that AH HA moment where I would see the difference in the marine and auto carb. What is the exact...
Re: Mercruiser 470 choke staying open after warmed
that picture is pretty blurry but isnt there a push button right in the middle of the pivot point of the base?
Just wondering if anyone has ever upgraded the alpha 1 trim pump for something newer. Mine is working fine since I realized it was low on fluid. So this would be just for the sake of upgrade. And I'm sure unnecessary headaches for me LOL. I included a pic of the type I have. Mostly I would like...
This is going to be kind of a restoration thread. Not a total resto but I;m going to do a repaint of the yellow and the trailer.
But as the title says removing just 25% of my side stripe took 4 1/2 hours what a pain
I am sure this has been asked a hundred times before. When I searched for the topic nothing came up. So since I know the 3.7's are prone to overheating and at some point I could end up putting a head on the old girl. I am wondering if an automotive 460 head can be used?
Re: Quicksilver shifter manual???
I am quite sure most of you have found this already but I thought I would post this just in case. I found where my problem was in my shifter. It wouldnt go into throttle only. After I took it apart I was able to see that the brass pinn attached to the detent...
OK I rebuilt my shifter and reinstalled it today. Everything works great except the trim down. The pump runs when I push the button but it doesn't go down. It does go up. Any body got any ideas. 1980 wellcraft 170, 470 mercruiser with the old style quicksilver control
Does anyone know where I can find a service manual or any literature for removing and repairing the early quicksilver shifters(throttle only button instead of trigger). I have searched the web and cant seem to find anything. Its a good thing I'm already bald or I would be pulling my hair out. I...
I know I've seen some threads on this before but I'm wondering if anyone has installed a projection on a marine engine. I know it wont do much for horsepower, but it should help fuel economy and make cold starts easier. Plus its a pretty pricey item so I wonder if its worth it. Oh and I have...
I have come to discover from this site and people I talk to. The 470 and Bayliners have a lot in common.
1)everyone has an opinion on them whether they have owned one or not.
2)everyone has a bad opinion about them unless they have owned one.
3)much of what you read or hear about them is fiction...
