I have a 2006 loadmaster tandem axle trailer that is making a loud noise and vibrates when brakes are applied. The trailer brakes worked last fall when I towed the boat a short distance, however, the first time out this year they vibrate something fierce and make a horrific noise. One...
Anyone have ideas where to get the the gauge cluster or dash assembly with gauges for a 95 240 horizon four winns. The gauges I have are mostly busted with the needles knocked off.
Thanks!
Anyone know where I can get the housing cover on the upper drive that attaches with 3 bolts and covers the shift linkage. Buddy of mine got cute on a seadoo and knocked mine off into the lake. I still have the 3 bolts though :)
Hello all. I have a 95 5.8 omc cobra which is the sx drive I believe. I just got the boat all back together after some stringer, floor and interior replacement. Overall the boat turned out really nice and after my first trip to the lake I am noticing some shifting issues. Everything shifts...
Does anyone know any good ideas to get a template for the decking. I bought some 1/2 foam board that I could cut easily, move around easily, and be less costly if I mess up. For the decking I was planning to put back 1/2 sanded pine that has the outdoor glue. I did think about bumping up to 5/8...
After a bunch of reading and some free time I am finally getting started with my restore project. I have the decking removed and the rotten stringers out. Pictures are below:
I have a 95 OMC 5.7 with OMC outdrive and I took the drive off to inspect the gimbal and boots. I purchased an alignment tool from Ebay and now I am having issues getting it aligned. I have covered the end with grease and I can just get the tool started maybe 1/2" or 3/4" into the splines and...
I have already winterized my boat....drive off, opened plugs, pulled hoses, filled with RV antifreeze but now I am looking to swap trailers to put on a new trailer I purchased. Do I need to rewinterize? We will not be starting the boat just popping in the water and then switching trailers...
Re: Possible project boat 1995 Four Winns 240 Horizon bowrider with OMC 5.8L restorat
It was a little cold out this morning but I got out there and took a few pictures and samples. I have posted the only bad areas I know of and they will have to be replaced. The samples I took from a couple...
Hello all,
I picked this boat up pretty cheap I think at $3,000. It has 1000 hours and everything seems to be mechanically fine. the boat needs a little TLC as it has been a little beat up on the outside mostly on the teal part and rubrail from docks, however I have a buddy that works at a...
Attached are some pictures from what I believe is a 1995 Cobra drive on a 1995 5.8L. I understand that OMC is no longer in business and parts can be a little difficult to find. Should I cut loose of this boat and look for something else or is it just a little more difficult to find parts. I...
Hello all,
I just acquired a 1995 Four Winns 240 Horizon with a 5.8L OMC Cobra. I have done some reading up but also having a hard time finding exactly what I am looking for and I am running short on time as it is time to winterize. I plan to order the service manual for the motor and drive...
I have a clogged speedo tube...I have read that I need to blow it out towards the gear case with air and that I should clean the hole with a 1/16 drill bit.
It has not worked thus far and it has been clogged since I have owned the boat (8 years) but I want to get it working.
What can I do...
Hello,
I have a 91 Champion with a 92 Yamaha ProV 150 and I am having a few electrical challenges. The first issue I am having is the buzzer at the throttle will go off at random times and it does not seem to be an overheating or oil issue as it has been occurring for a while, not to my...
