Hey there, I have a 1992 capri 18' and was working on it before the season gets going full bore. I was going to go around with a grease gun like I used to do with with my old 1967 mercruiser 120 but I found only two zerks on the trim pivot and none on the steering pivots on the outdrive, is...
I just bought a 1991 bayliner capri with a 3.0L alpha one. To replace my 1967 seaswirl with a mercruiser 120.
Now I thought just the refinements in engine design and the 1/2 litre in displacment would make it pull better but it is a little slugish. It will pull me up on the wakeboard OK with...
Hey there all,
I'm looking at a 1984 reinell 19' with an OMC outdrive and chevy 305 V8.
I own a mercruiser and have rebuilt 3-4 volvo uppers for freinds but have never had any experience with the OMC's. So that's were you all come in, I need some help with this before I drive 173 miles north...
Hey all,
I noticed when I drug the old girl out that there was gear oil in the lower portion of the drive ( were the exhaust and cooling water exit ).
I searched the forum for such things and found that it could be a couple things... shift shaft, water pump seal, or prop shaft seal.

I was wondering if anyone has a link to info on porting my own prop?<br /><br />Is it worth it? I have a 1967 seaswirl 18' with a perfect running mercruiser 120 i\o it run's good but could use a little more omf off the line when towing. I read a few things on this site before about doing this my...
OK since my boat now runs awsome (thanks to all whole helped me last fall) I thought I would come back and see if you all could help once more. <br /><br />It's time to get things ready for the summer and I'm going to change the oil this weekend, only trouble is I don't want to drive to a "boat"...
I read an article about drilling a small 1/4" hole at the leading edge of the blades through the hub. The idea was to allow exhaust gases to pass through the onto the blades allowing it to slip a bit off the line. <br /><br />I have a 1967 seaswirl w/120hp merc I/O, and what I can only guess to...
The title says it all, I have a 1967 seswirl, it's my first boat and would like as much info as possible, performance specs new, how it ranked for it's era you know just genrele info.<br /><br />Does any body know any thing about these old boats?
I bought a Doel fin last night and when I got home I was checking it out and the directions are vague as to where to mount it fore to aft. <br /><br />What do you think should I mount it towards the front, or the back or right in the middle.
I have 1967 seaswirl with a 120hp merc I/O. I just bought this bought from my father and he had the same problem.<br /><br />I took it out the other day and it ran well but sluggish, on the way back to the launch with the throttle barried the boat had a suge of power and ran well for a while. I...
