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.
There is no rot, it was a very small leak… I thought I had fixed it replacing the bellows which were real bad. Didn’t help that the bilge pump stopped working. There is no water in the oil, the only thing that looks awful is the starter and fuses the battery is connected to, those 90amp fuses...
Omg I just read your posts, that just hurt to read, here I am feeling sorry for myself. Wow! I hope you got your baby back on track. My goodness
thank you!! I needed to hear that… the 90amp fuses for the starter and battery completely came apart. Hope that means they did their job and saved the...
I was happy to have gotten the boat started, it was running smoothly, had stopped then went to go and the thing wouldn’t start. Got blown into the marina luckily there was a dock and I tied it up there. Walked back to towing vehicle which had a flat, well decided to get back in the morning, the...
Thank you to everyone’s response!! I’m happy to say, it is up and running. Backtracking and checking it all no matter how simple is so incredibly true when it comes to boats. Thank you everyone🙏🏼
Thank you so much!! Firing order was correct did pull out the spark plugs and nothing, finally had a new set of eyes and it was the accelerator linkage to the carburator, started right up. I’m elated🥳
This is a 2002 sea ray with a mercruiser 3.0 that was running.. overheated at higher speed, found the elbow riser clogged. Changed it and while at it, spark plugs… accidentally replaced spark plug wires out of order, tried unsuccessfully for two weeks to start this thing, finally realized my...
I couldn’t get the darn thing to start, didn’t realize my spark plug wires had been placed in the wrong sequence by mistake I cleaned the carb, did compression test… only to retrace back and find my blunder. I changed wires, cap n rotor and sparks again. I get no spark now. Has this ever...
When I removed my carburator it only had the two hole gasket… the kit also has a big hole gasket that makes more sense to me… none of the videos for carb replacement show this last gasket 🤷🏻♀️ Should I use the two hole one or the big hole… or both? It’s a 3.0 mercruiser dual barrel Mercarb...
So this is the hose that goes to the oil pan inside a sea ray 02 it’s supposed to make your oil change easier, except I can’t open it. I pulled it through the bilge hole fine. I tried counterclockwise nothing! Clockwise… nothing!!! I tried attempting to pry it with flat screw driver. Nothing...
