    1973 Chrysler 105

    I just did a compression test on this outboard and all cyclinders were 115. Is this within the appropriate range for this outboard?<br /><br />Also, this outboard is having problems planing off and accelarating to normal speed. It appears that after all 4 spark plugs were replaced, the engine...

    compression test - no lanyard switch

    I have an old Chrysler 105 that I need to do a compression test on. This rig does not have a lanyard switch, so what precautions do I need to take so that I do not damage anything when I do a compression test on the engine?

    bunk weight capacity

    I have a 19' Bayliner Trophy. It is about 2600 lbs. I just recently replaced all the rusted bolts on my Escort trailer with galvanized bolts and was also going to replace the bunk brackets until I couldn't find the parts anywhere. So I was forced to go with a new bracketing system which...

Put the impeller on and due to a lack of my knowledge, I turne the shifting rod in prior to putting the lower unit back on. Now when I start the engine, the prop spins because...

    1998 120hp torque specs

    Does anyone know the torque specs for the head and the connecting rod to piston bolts. These bolts are the ones that require the 12pt 1/4" socket. Also I will be installing the reed assembly and carbs back to the manifold and was wondering if any special torquing is required here also?

    1998 Force 120 - Won't start

    Was out of the water this past weekend and all was good. Was running wide open for about 10-15 minutes and running very low on gas.<br /><br />So, I pulled into the marina and put 12 gallons in (the tank was nearly empty). It fired right up... I proceeded through the wake area about 2-3...

    1998 force 120

    I had my boat out on the water this weekend... I was finishing up about 24 gallons of fuel with about 1 oz. per gallon fuel system cleaner mixed in... Well I was just about empty so I pulled into the marina to put about 12 gallons gas in (I didn't put fuel cleaner in this time). I made it about...

    hull damage?

    I just recently purchased a 1998 20ft center console. Towards the end of the season after many uses (and leaving the boat in the water for a week at a time on many occasions), I discovered about a 7 inch scrape on the bottom of my boat. The scrape is pretty deep at one point in which it exposes...
