Hello. I was replacing the anodes on my outdrive and one of the anode below where the hydraulic hoses on the stern drive connect. It also came with a gasket and a little rubber item that shaped like a mushroom that has a hole-in-one in and then goes through most of the length of that item. Since...
Hi all. I just bought a 1997 Reinell and oil pressure guage isn't working. I am not sure where to start but fairly certain its nota actual pressure issue. Runs awesome and warmed up to operating temp no issue. Where do I start? Thanks!!!
All,
OK so the boat ran great last summer. I replaced wires, plugs, points, condenser, cab and rotor. I winterized it per the owners manual and upon starting for the new season it just will not fire. I am getting plenty of fuel but there is no spark at the points. The points look essentially...

Re: 1990 Mercruiser 3.7 with Alpha 1 Stern Drive Over heat issue
When you seperate the lower unti it can be "stuck" to the upper unit. We used a sxcrew driver wedged between the nut on each side of the out drive and backed them out to seperate units. Puting it back together we used "C"...

Hi everyone! I have 1990 Shorelander trailer with 13" 5 lug wheels. I need a spare and found a 12" 5 lug weel/tire that is being sold from a Easy Loader trailer.I know it isn't ideal to go to a 12" wheel as a spare but I just need temporary transport so the size difference doesn't concern me...
I bought a boat that has been sitting in a barn for a few years and I need to go throught the trailer. I am planning on re-doing the bearings, go through brake system, sand and re-paint trailer and wheels and re-wire the lighting. I purchased a junk boat with a functional trailer and I plan to...
