We just picked up a freshwater used/ trailer stored 259. Its really a beautiful and well thought out boat.
Some questions I have already:
1.Where is the power inverter located? Looked everywhere.. 120v power does not currently work.
2. It has a noticeable lean Starboard sitting and on plane...
The admiral (and my 7 year old Autistic kid) will not set foot on my Grady White. It's "too fishy, smoky, not comfortable" . We also had an unfortunate experience on it involving a summer storm and us *almost* outrunning a bad storm. Calling gps coordinates to CG is serious pucker factor...
1994 140 looper
1984 150 crossflow
Hit 27* F last night. Haven't winterized yet. Motors are tilted all the way down.
Merc rates their outboards to be used below freeze as long as when stored is all the way down.
Never heard of a min temp for OMC.
Your thoughts?
The New to me boat is a 1998 Maxum 1700XR bow rider with a 88" (7'4") beam. Empty hull weight is around 1250. It is slow to plane and doesn't carry the bow very well. I'm looking for advice on what type and pitch of prop I should be looking into testing.
I removed the powertech 4 blade Scb4...
I just bought a Bayliner 17 foot Capri 1998 with a blown motor. I'm planning on installing a properly running and freshly tuned up 50 horse Yamaha 4 stroke. I also plan on using a 17 pitch 4 blade stainless propeller.
I only plan on using it for cruising and fishing purposes. It does not have...
I have a beautiful 200 that will not run properly. The carbs are clean, fuel has good pressure, strong spark ect.
Is there a fail safe for the oil system that will kill the motor? I run premix.
or an ignition cut for something else?
I'm completely lost

I just bought a F50 and it has a rattle while in gear on the stand at idle with no load. There is no noise in neutral. I drained the lower unit oil and about 3/4 pint of clean oil came out, no metal shavings were visible or were found on the magnetic plug.
The noise is pretty audible, kinda...
I have a late 70's 25 hp tiller and am in the process of a complete rebuild... I'm 90% done but while i was replacing the WP the drive shaft slid out there are no clips or pins that hold it in so i doubt it sliding out hurt anything.. i slid it back in and it spins fine but now it makes a gear...
I just picked up this deal, looks to be a good fishen platform and a good candidate for my 4 Stroke 04 Yamaha 25hp tiller..
Ill be removing the side console and the large cooler seat to both lighten it up and to free up some fishing room. I'm debating weather i want to remove the rod storage...
Now, a day before i was going to leave a deposit on my 1765 I'm having second thoughts on if I should just buy the 1780.
