    When you install the stringers in the boat would you cut the bottom of the stringers as the aame shape of the hull or just leave the wood flat and make sure they are level?

    1993 Baja 24 outlaw stringer question

    I’ve used tite bond 3 on wood before and that stuff is pretty damn strong. Scott would you recommend just glue only and 3 pieces pressed together? Then do all the glass work in the boat? This old fiberglass isn’t even stuck on the wood. Looks like they didn’t even coat it before applying...

    1993 Baja 24 outlaw stringer question

    I have a Baja 24 outlaw I acquired for a restoration project. I do a lot of fiberglassing at work so I do know how to fiberglass. I will be using polyester because I’m fairly certain that’s what it was built with. I started to cut out the floor and stringers and it looks like the stringers are...

    Well I split the drive and this is what I found. Would it be these 2 o rings that have failed that need replaced?

    Water in Yamaha outdrive!

    Sooo this is what I found when I took my outdrive off. Somehow one of my exhaust flappers ended up right here where the shift fork is. I pressure tested my outdrive off of the boat and now it’s holding pressure. I’m kind of stumped. Would that have anything to do with it not holding pressure and...

    Water in Yamaha outdrive!

    I did a pressure test and it’s losing pressure rather quickly. I checked the prop seal and it’s not leaking there but I can hear air hissing out of the bottom of the lower unit. Can you take the lower unit off without having to take the whole outdrive off or do you have to take the outdrive off...

    Yamaha sterndrive speedo hose disconnected

    I noticed my speedometer hose was loose. It’s not the part that connects to the little nipple on the outdrive but I am guessing it connects to another part up in the gimbal housing? If anyone could give me a area on where to look that would be great. I currently have my outdrive off so I can...

    Delco est not advancing!

    i haven’t been able to get my boat up to speed and I can’t hammer down without it bogging. I checked with my advance timing light out on the water and it’s not advancing at all. I have replaced the module inside the distributor and ignition coil and it still will not advance. Do I need a whole...

    Bogging under full throttle

    I put a 4.3 vortec motor in my 180 bowrider (Yamaha sterndrive) with a 1409 carb that I had bought on eBay. I did some research and put different jets and rods in it but if I try to give it full throttle it just wants to bog and only does about 30-35mph since I can’t give it full throttle I’m...

    Where to put water separator

    I’m trying to clean up my lines on my electric fuel pump and my fuel filter/water separator before I put my motor back in and I was wandering if you should put the separator first and then the fuel pump or should you put the pump and then the separator? It’s a rotary style fuel pump. I’ve seen...
