    Need to be running tonight.

    So I replaced my old Point Ignition with an electronic egnition over the weekend. I got everything running for about 5 minutes. Then she just shut down. My ballast resistors are still getting way to hot but the biggest issue is that I'm not getting any spark out of my coil. I know I'm getting...

    Does anyone else have this problem.

    I try to go boating every weekend and although being alone can be very relaxing some company would be nice. My issue is getting people to go out with me, I'm 22 old and none of my coworkers or friends likes to go out. I get excuses like its to hot out or something of that sort. All these guys...

    Commander 302 Won't Fire

    I was out on the boat last weekend and just go up to the boat today, and it won't start. I changed out the ignition coil, ballast resistor and I know for fact that these were wired up correctly because the engine fired since but I really haven't had it running since those part were swapped, I...

    Stolen iPad!

    So I currently serve in the Military and went to a friends house last night and come back to find my room had been broken into and someone had stolen my brand new iPad. It really makes me worry what this world is coming to if you can't even trust your united states military. Nothing else was...

    No power under load

    I have a commander 302, it runs great when I'm sitting in the slip at idle the problem comes when I put it in gear it always stalls out. I've seen others have had this issue but it seems that no one has posted a solid resolution. I will check the voltage on the coil when I get to the boat...

    Commander Over heating

    So I replaced my impeller for my water pump the other day and figured while I had everything pulled apart I'd dig even deeper and replace more things that could use replacing.

    Blowing holes in exhaust tubes

I replaced thinking that it was just an old piece of tubing that had fallen apart over time. I took the boat out the other day and no issues. When I took it out last...
