I have never owned a boat b/4 in my life but it was time. I got this 1991 Bayliner Capri BR ( do not know what model) for really cheap. The owner stated that it ran but needed a $100 "switch repair". He said a mechanic said it was something in the wiring between the key and motor. Is this something I could repair myself? I have also posted some photos if someone could tell me what model it is. I am planning to replace the flooring because it is rotten so look forward to getting alot of help from you guys. Thanks.
here is a list of ignition switches to select from. should be a good DIY project. what i did when i first got my BL was pick up good service manual, like a clymers will do. then start with the basics as if you knew nothing had been done to the O/B. impeller, plugs, fuel filter, diaphram, lu oil, comp test, etc.. the low hanging fruit sort of stuff. then once you know the O/B is operational, get to the meat of the hull. that information is all covered in Boat Restoration section. spend some time reading the refurb posts in there. i'd say your boat has a nice look and worth the effort if the hull is not crooked or the O/B shot to h3ll,
