    Chrysler 100HP Fuel Consumption

    I had a concern when I went from my 75hp 1980 model to my now 100hp 79 model, I did actually notice a fair difference in fuel consumption, after reading a post made by jerryjerry, I am now wondering if anyone has any idea on the possible saving of fuel when going from a 23" pitch prop to a 17"...

    Hi guys, just want to see your opinion on a price of a trim/tilt ,sender, gauge and wiring complete, the bloke wants $125 for it. I love all the bells and whistles but is $125 too much. I already have a gauge, but hard to find a sender.

    Lack of usage with a Chrysler outboard

    Hi guys, just want to ask, if I am not using my outboard much at the moment due to an injury to my neck, can I get away with just starting once or twice a week, or would I be better off storing it or your terms are winterising it? We hardly have a winter here, but lack of using it on the water...

    13 1/4" x 21" pitch stainless prop on Chrysler 100HP 17ft Half Cabin

    HI guys, I have a Chrysler 100HP 1979 model on a 17ft Carribean Half Cabin 1980 model. My question is, before this s/s prop the old Chrysler had a 23" pitch and I was getting around 45MPH, I changed to my 21" prop which came off my 75hp Chrysler. To be honest I haven't done a complete water test...

    Motor taking more cranking to start

    Hi everyone, wanted to ask a couple of quick questions firstly, is a harder start a sign of lowering compression, I have noticed it is taking my motor a bit longer to start, I crank it more than I used to, but in saying that once it has warmed up, it will start hit every time.

    Hi guys, I am looking at a spare for my boat and came across a 85hp Chrysler charger, firstly, what is the charger?

    tilt trim arrival

    Well I finally got my tilt trim motor, and found that the bloke when he pulled the valve body off has scored the sides of the reservoir causing it now to leak around the base of the reservoir. Could I just get away with a new seal or should I change out the reservoir part of the pump, as I have...
