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.
Could someone tell me what (part #?) tilt trim ram/cylinder I might need for this outdrive?

Ok so here's the deal...my last fishing boat was a 16' Lund tiller. I sold that and got one just a bit longer and a bit wider. I got rid of the Minn Kota Powerdrive off of it because I like cable steer models much better. My last boat had a motor guide with a 45" shaft that I cudda swore was...

I am considering leaving my 22' glass boat in the water overnight for three nights this summer. It's a very clean lake but I've never left it in overnight once, let alone three. I put a good wax on it every spring and acid wash it every fall but I still worry I might stain it. Any thoughts or...
You gotta love these questions! Lol. I know this place is full of knowledge and worthy opinions. :-) I would like to upgrade but cant exactly figure out what to go to. If it where you, which one would you choose and why? Thank you!!

Can someone tell me the "exact" location of the starboard block drain plug. I know I sound soo stupid! I removed them last fall and cannot figure out where the last one goes. Yeah...I went directly across from the block drain plug on the port side and still CANNOT locate it. All scraped up...
I should really know the answer to this so pardon the ignorance.
I have a 2001 Heritage boat trailer under our pleasure boat. It appears to have a removable tongue. It has a large pin (similar to a trailer hitch pin), a quick connect for the wiring, and a coupler (similar to air hoses) for...
OK, Meat Head alert!...
I currently have a great running boat that has about everything I need. BUT, I really want a Cobalt! With that being said, the boat i have has captains call exhaust...i love it, MOST others love it, and if i dont want it on i just flip the switch. Among, many other...
I own a 21.5' Monterey and really do love it! For some reason every year about this time I look at used boats daily and am regularly drawn to Cobalts, Cobalts, Cobalts and Four Winns. I am no expert but would say I know a fair amount about bow riders and fishing boats. Obviously Cobalts are...
I have a 2001 5.7L GSi pefs. Which for those of you who may now know is a 5.7L with throttle body injection. I took my breather off and expected to see it right there but did not see it right away....can anyone tell me exactly where the IAC Valve/motor is located?
Thanks! Have a great...
One of the holy grail questions! Yes we all know it depends on maintenance and type of use. So out of pure curiosity I decided to look at one of our work trucks. Keep in mind we barely change oil in these things and the only other maintenance we perform is if something is broken. Other than...
I have a 2001 5.7L GSi pefs serial# 4012044349 3869059 that overall runs very well and most of the time idles right at 600-650rpm. However, every now and then (mostly when you dont want it to) it will idle at about 1000-1100rpm. I KNOW it is not that throttle or throttle body butterfly is...
I have a 1996 Johnson 50hp 3cly 2stroke that i have owned for a couple years and am very happy with it. I have only had it for a little over a year but have used it quite a bit and can say that so far the the thing runs like a watch at all speeds. IN THEORY, in a perfect world and all things...
Is it because there are so many more out there or they are more problematic? BTW I own a 50hp Johnson and would never even consider trading it for a like motor of a different brand.
I have a 1996 Johnson 50hp tiller on my Lund and decided to replace the impeller prior to my Canada trip. 1st impeller replacement ever and what a peice of cake! Took it apart last night then replaced impeller and reassembled this morning. After assembly I filled up a rubbermaid with water and...
Tires on my Shorelander trailer that is loaded with my 16' lund fishing boat are wearing very unevenly. Its almost like they are cupping. The brand of tire is Carlisle and I am very attentive to check tire pressure and bearing grease. I drive a Tundra Crewmax that is lifted 3" and when...
Re: Preventative maintenance prior to my fishing trip?
Will do! I tend to worry about the trailer about as much as anything else because you are very right...there will be no fishing unless i have the tailer to get it there.
It is very beautiful there. Dont get me wrong i really enjoy the...
I have a 16' Lund equipped with a 1996 Johnson 50HP 3cly 2stroke and to date the thing runs like a champ. I was just wanting to get some thoughts on what you folks thought i should do/double check prior to pulling the rig 700mi to Canada for my annual fishing trip. It runs out great and purrs...
I have a 2001 5.7L GSi that according to the owners manual says to run 89 octane unleaded. If you know Iowa at all we generally have 3 grades of fuel available at about any gas station.
Regular Unleaded-87 octane...no ethanol About $3.72 right now
Unleaded Plus-89-90 octane...10% ethanol...
