Hey everyone. Its been a while since I've been in the forum, but this is usually the best place to learn from those who have "been there, done that". A series of buying and selling and trading in boats and motors landed me with a cheap, old, evinrude 25hp tiller, early '70s vintage. It was...
I have a 1990 Bayliner Capri with a Mercruiser Alpha one Gen 1 sterndrive. As far as we can tell it has the original US marine shifter and possibly even cables as well. This is a good solid family boat, but its not something we are looking to pile a bunch of money into either. Everything...
Hi All,
Just got myself an older but lightly used 14' Livingston bi-hull. The previous owner used it only a handful of times in the early 90's before it went into storage (I know the previous owner quite well and know this is true). It was really green and full of leaves but nothing a good hot...
We own a 1990 Bayliner Capri 2050 which we have just basically restored to perfect working order in the last two years. One problem we have not been able to solve is an issue with fueling the boat up. Whenever we take it to the pump after a day on the lake, or in one case we fueled up on the...
Good Morning All,
I have the 5.0L Merc Alpha One Gen One in my boat (serial number is in the 0D Range) and last winter we went ahead and put a new long block in her and reconned the outdrive. There were cracks in the water jackets from lack of drainage on the p/o's part. The worst part about...
Hello all,
Like most of you right now who are watching their boat idle in storage waiting for spring to pop I myself am preparing, planning and dreaming. To get right down to it, I am planning a long boat trip with my wife and friends on Lake Chelan in Washington State. There is a small...
Hi,
Have a 9.9 zuke kicker that I'm trying to ressurect.... Got it for free from a buddy who also got it for free from another guy. It runs great and starts pretty good as long as its not flooded but I cannot get it to idle down for trolling speeds to save my life. It will idle for 10 seconds...
Hi,
I have a Quicksilver Commander 2000 Outboard control unit on my boat. Works quite well in many aspects, however the neutral idle control does not work (or I am a complete moron and have no clue how to use it, either is a distinct possibility).
This is what my control unit looks like. It...
Had a new engine built for our boat and of course pretty well forgot how the alternator, power steering pump, ignition module, and harness plug bolt back on. Have been doing image searching and checking out youtube but thats not getting me very far. So far I know that the alternator is below...
Hello, I have a 1986 Bayliner 19ft with an outboard, and it seems to have a peculiar steering issue. The steering works fairly well however there seem to be some "dead spots" in the steering. If you start cranking the wheel, it will turn the outboard and then something slips, and the wheel...
Hello all. I am in the market for a fishing boat (rather a boat to be used for fishing). I have noticed that there are a lot of two different kinds of boats for sale in the $2000 market. There are many older boats around here like late '70s seaswirls and bayliner discovery's often setup with...
Just like the title says... Wondering if it is a bad detent switch or a cable adjustment issue. You can shift it quickly into gear without grinding but by doing so you hammer on the throttle and the boat jumps out of the water. We have the engine pulled right now to be rebuilt so now would be...
Re: What do you pull your boat with?
Typically use my 02 Silverado 5.3 V8 as it is better set up for towing, but my wife's 05 Trailblazer 4.2 I6 does a fairly decent job over the passes here in WA State. We have a 1990 Bayliner Capri 2050. We could easily use something smaller going to a...
Re: 1990 Bayliner Capri 2050 CX (and trailer) Repower and Restore
Doesn't seem like there is a whole lot of interest here but I will keep going for those people who want to see it through.
Tuesday night's work session turned out to be more of a BS session as my brother and I talked more about...
Re: 1990 Bayliner Capri 2050 CX (and trailer) Repower and Restore
Finally got some pictures for you. Hopefully this helps.
We have a lot of work left to do on the boat so this is not the finished product by any means.
