    Sudden Death!

    So, several weeks ago I was out on the lake and my motor died. Started up without any problems, but died about 5 minutes later. At this point my battery was too discharged to start the motor again and the bendix was stuck in the flywheel. Here's the link to that posting. Anyways, got towed...

    Bendix & Flywheel

    So, I was out on the ole lake this weekend, driving back to the gas docks to get some more fuel for the weekend, when the engine just died (another issue that I'm not quite ready to diagnose). Upon it dying, I started it back up with no problems and it ran again for about 5 minutes before dying...

    Ultra Tuff Non-Skid Coating

    I'm putting together this post because I couldn't find much information on this message board about the Ultra Tuff Non-Skid Coating. I've made several post on people who've installed it asking about the durability, so I figure that this might be a good way to help future restorers. I've just...

    Patching Up the ol' hull

    Several places on my hull have been damaged due to beaching. I can safely say that it's my fault and its the previous owners fault. With that being said, I want to make the repair and have been debating what should be done. The damaged sections are not very deep, maybe 1/8" at most and up and...

    Deck Paint

    I've been trying to decide what kind of floor covering I want to use on my '89 17ft Bayliner. I was pretty sure that I wanted to use the two part garage floor epoxy, but upon further research it doesn't seem like it would work. My hull is constructed of the polyester resin, so it supposedly...

    Fuel Sending Unit

    Quick stupid question. Ohm meters are setup in Series or Parallel, right? I'm trying to set up my fuel sending unit (I unhooked the sending unit and didn't write down where each wire went) and I can't quite get it to work. Any suggestions on how to rewire it? Thanks,

    Starter Issues

    So, got started workin' on the boat again. Last winter, I had an issue with my starter, the thread on the top of the starter stripped out and lost the spring & nut (above the bendex). Anyways, fixed it (rethreaded), but began having troubles with the starter starting. Took it apart and...

    Resins & Fiberglass

    Would anyone know where I can get polyester resin & fiberglass materials from a local retailer in Atlanta? I'm trying to find a buisness that isn't a big box store (Walmart, HD, Lowes, etc). P.S. If this is an inappropriate thread, please let me know.

    Sporqster Tach

    Anyone who bought a Sporqster tach, do you feel like the tach is malfunctioning? I only ask because I was out skiing, and could never get above the 4000 RPM range. Normally, without skiiers or a large load, I can get up to the 5200 Range. Now I realize that there are probably other issues (I...

    Started Tearing Out the Floor

    So, I decided that it would be a good time to start replacing the floor in my 89 Bayliner Capri. Just a little background, I bought the boat this summer, spent hours working with the engine, skiing, drinking, having a great time. The previous owner replaced the floor several months before I...

    Starting Issues

    I have an 89 85 hp Force that has a little trouble starting the first time around. If I'm out in the water or in the driveway with muffs, the motor won't start unless its in the tilted up and locked position. I can spend 20 mins trying to start it when its down, but if I leave it up, it starts...

    Gas Tank Cleaning

    So I just bought a 89 Bayliner Capri w/ 85 hp Force Outboard. As it turns out, there is crap in the gas tank. I've tried to clean it out with solvents & flushing out with water. Does anyone have any recommendations for cleaning the tank? The previous owner just installed new floors, so I...
