The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
1998 GTX 951 starts easily but when you take off it cuts in and out, have changed the MPEM no change, and the maintainance light comes on with 3 different MPEM,s carbs and power valves have been cleaned. any ideas? Stator?
I have a 2000 gtx 951, runs great then dies as if you hit the kill switch, but then resarts and runs fine a few minutes then dies again. sometime you have to rekey to make it start, sometimes it will just restart. any clues?
Well I could not leave well enough alone, and over the winter I pulled a good running 5.0 GL from my Glastron 195 SX and replaced it with a much better running 5.7, now I have have about 350 HP to harness. I have a Stiletto 21P 3 blade that the old 5.0 would struggle to turn 4400 rpm. The new...
I bought a Q-jet from a 4.3 LX Merc, and put it on my 5.0 Volvo GL, it runs pretty good, I gained around 200-300 rpm and a couple mph over my 2 barrel Holley, I think it is a bit lean both primary, and secondaries, does anyone know what the jet specs are for a 5.0? I was hoping someone knows...
Has anyone made the switch from cast iron to aluminum manifolds? If so what increase in performance if any was there? I'm am considering them mostly to reduce weight.
Last year I had similar problem where the drive would not go into forward, after many adjustments, and a new cable nothing seemed to work. I had my dealer take the drive apart and the cone looked perfect, could not find any problem, ended up changing the cone under warranty, and it worked fine...
Does anyone know the differance between these two props? both are 14x20 four blade. I have tried an Apollo with good results, then sold it to a friend. I am looking to go back to a four blade 20", I have looked at Stilletto, turbo's and Ron Hill props, best price is on the Avenger. Anyone tried...
I have a problem with my 04 SX drive, it does not like to go into forward gear, reverse works perfectly. I have adjusted the cable, and lubed up the control, but the problem seems to be getting worse. I have checked the shifter arm on the lower unit, and I have full range of motion when the...
Glastron 195 SX 5.0 220HP, 14.25X21 3 blade AL runs 4500RPM at 55MPH with just me in, tried a 14X20 4 blade Mich. Vortex AL, ran 52MPH at 5000RPM, too high. Then tried a Solas 14X21 4 blade AL, now runs 55MPH at only 4200RPM. Nice cruise speed, but border line lugging, why such a big differance...
Here's one for the "Can't leave well enough alone guy's" I have a Volvo 5.0 GL(220 HP)in my glastron, it works pretty good, but how sweet would an all aluminum 310 HP 5.3 from a wrecked truck be? Fuel injected, roller cam, I have one in my new Silverado and it really runs nice. I think that...
I have a 2004 glastron 195sx, with a 5.0 volvo GL 220 HP, it has a holley 2bbl. but looks like it's mounted on a four bbl. intake. How much power do I stand to gain, and would it kill my economy at cruise speeds switching to say a rochester 4bbl. which has small primaries, but large...
Cayuga Lake
Has any one been up around Cayuga, or Seneca? Are there any free launch sites? Also has anyone crossed over from one lake to the other via the canal system? How long does it take?
