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.
What up all! I read this board all the time and learn from it, although I dont think I could do much of the things I read, it does help me understand the in's and out's of my sweet little 150 rude better. I've gotten great advice from some clearly seasoned "water in the blood" boatmen. Thanks to...

Hi folk's, is it the nature of the beast to be a hard starter? 1984 Evenrude 150vro. It takes alot of cranking 3 to 4 mins before it will start. When it does start it sputters for just a second and than it clears itself out and idles great. If I push my key in that is the choke but I dont know...
If you buy a new boat motor, or say buy one that is 5 or 10 years's old and been very well taken care of how long could you expect to get performence out of it? Would a 200hp last longer than a 5hp? or vice-a-versa? Is 30 years reasonable? This is assuming all the conditions are right for the...
Sup fella's I've wrote in before 'bout the same problem. The guy at the shop seems to think I,m O.k. but he says the prop is bent a little but not enough to hurt anything. Can that be?? Can you run a bent prop shaft at high speeds and not hurt anything even if the bend is less than 1/32 of an...
Yep, I turned the steering wheel so hard on my boat I busted the helm. The motor '84 Evenrude 150hp was stuck (in center position)I could not turn it because it had sat to long 3 1/2 mos. It spent 15 yrs at the beach so the motor will stick after sitting for awhile. My question is... It look's...
late question but what do you think of the Honda 4 stroke motors I just bought a used one with 12 hours on it, already tryed it at the lake it was awsome for what it is. It looks new its a Honda 5HP four stroke tiller I paid 1k did I do OK? With good care will it last 10/20 years? thanks for any...
On the inside of my boat the drain hole where I put my plug is bent like a battery was droped on it on an angle "v" I can not put the plug in from the inside or outside of the boat I have tryed beating it in but I dont think it will hold. I think the only way is to some how put something inside...
I hit a buey and cut a blade on my prop in half and bent the shaft very little. I was about 5 miles out (lake) ran about 3/4 all way back. I put a new prop on it and it seems to do ok with a land test no vibration at 3/8 speed. I changed lower lube oil and did not see any water in it after I hit...
Hey thanks for any help you can give me. Ive got a 150hp Evenrude outboard that runs good. Sometimes it will cut off while in idle but will fire wright back up. My worry is that my engine while in idle or at slow speeds will make this spitting sound almost like a pressure valve releasing...
