Been noticing them slowly getting bigger and not sure what the problem is. The guy I boat the boat from redid the transom and everything seems to be in order with it. Solid and I don't notice any rotting. Should I just epoxy it or is there a better chemical that I can use to seal it up? I'm not...
Many of my snaps have either loosened up on the hull or ripped thru the cover. How do I go about anchoring the loose ones in so I don't lose anymore? Would I epoxy them back into place or try to use a fiberglass filler? Also, where would be the best place to look for replacement snaps? I'm sure...
How come people keep looking at me crazy when I ask for gasket sealant to put my prop back on? The manual clearly states to put OMC gasket sealant around the splines of the prop before putting it back on. I went to 2 places (first one didn't sell parts) and they both people asked me if I meant...
The manual calls out Hi-Vis or Premium blend. Can I use BRP HPF Pro Gearcase Lubricant? I know it's a silly question and I'm almost positive I can, but I'm new to this and want to make sure I don't screw anything up. Thanks for the help.
First off sorry for starting another thread about this. I want to get this right the first time.
This motor looks similar to mine, just half the cylinders.
Here's my set up. It looks like I should aim for around the etching, but center it as best I can? So 11/32 drill bit with heavy...
Here a shot of what it looks like:
Seems to leaking down from the bottom of the cowl at this point. You can see a drip in the picture. I also noticed it collecting under the carbs and leaking forward. Seems to be getting worse everytime I go out.
Own a 16 foot runabout and I'm looking for other options in this area. I usually head out to Kelsey Island with friends, but I would like to change the scenery up a little. Are there any other Islands or coves that are good for swimming?
I trailer my boat and was wondering if I should paint or just leave it? There are a couple of spots where the gel coat is wearing and some cracks, so it would benefit aesthetically but I think that would be about it. Any thoughts? Also, would it be wise to fix the gel coat before I paint of...
My fish finder cut out on me yesterday and when I went to turn it on it started loading and then cut out. It did this several times. When I got into calmer water it started up no problem. Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe a lose connection.
Still need a motor for my runabout and I came across an 87 Force that's for sale in my hometown. Seller reports he bought the boat as a parts boat and now he wants to get rid of it. The motor came to him locked and the previous owner states that it ran until the boat flooded up on him...
Have two quick questions. I'm looking at picking up one really cheap ($200) from a long time friend. He left the lower unit off the motor and now there is rust up and down the gear "spine" that connects the motor to the gear case. Can this be cleaned up or does it need to be replaced? Are...
I have a spare flat windshield, but my boat has a curved one on it right now. Is it possible to install the flat? I understand that fitment won't be perfect, but figuring I have it already and I don't have a grand to spend on a new one, I would like to make it work.
