Good day IBoaters!
Just bought a 1996 Capri with a Force 50 on it and took it for a spin. The PO didn't mention any issues and it seems to be in pretty good shape. Runs well at idle and WOT, mid range good as well, I do have an engine question that I'll do some more searching on before...
Good day all,
I've recently purchased a 1996 Bayliner Capri 16'. It currently has a 50HP Force hanging off the transom and I wanted to find out what the max size I could hang off the back of this boat safely? Also, How to determine the options I have for Prop configuration on the existing 50...
Good afternoon y'all, I'm moving on from my 7.5 16' Starcraft fishing boat and looking for a budget (sub $2k) family runabout. Between my little outboard and some friends much larger outboards I've come familiar and unafraid of any motor rebuild or maintenance issues. That being said while...
Happy Friday y'all,
I'm in the middle of rebuilding my old 50 Johnson and wanted to know about the sensor on the Cylinder Head and the one on the Exhaust side plate.
1) Are there any ways to check their function?
2) Do they need to be functional or can their function be replicated with...
Ok y'all, got the flywheel, carbs, linkage, starter and almost all of the wiring system removed except for the three wires (one pair at one location and a single at another location) that seem to be entering the powerhead itself. Can someone help me with their removal and also let me know if I...
Good day all,
I'm looking for input on this compression situation I'm having.
I've looked through and searched on the issue, but none have addressed potential fixes.
I came across this 50ESL71S for free and built a nice stand (plans and drawings found on this website) to check it out...
Good day all,
Splashed my 80 Mariner yesterday for the first time and after a hard time getting it started, she picked right up and was flying along.........then sputtered and died. Took another long time to get started again, but did so and it stalled upon down throttling at our destination...
Good day gents,
Cadet here, need to know if there are muffs available for my 1982 Mercury 7.5HP Outboard or if I need to submerge it in water to test run?
There's a drought out here in Cali and dumping 30 gallons in a barrel to run the motor is not something I want to do if at all possible...
Good day y'all!
I am putting a new floor into this newly acquired StarCraft and need to work on the wiring etc, etc, etc.........
Please help me identify the specific boat and please point me in the right direction for any restorations of something similar (I could not find anything).
Need...
Good day y'all,
I've just come into possession of a nice outboard that's been sitting at least three years.
I was hoping to get a motor for my '61 Larson, but this beast is a bit more than she can handle.
I'd like to get it running to my satisfaction so I can get the best dollar for it and...
