    Pull tube keeps submarineing

    Admins- sorry if I posted this in the wrong section We have a connelly tube which completely nose dives right away. If everyone leans back and pulls up, they "sometimes" can keep it from diving down. Forget going slow - it dives right away. Our last tube was good to go at any speed and didn't...

    Let me tell you about my day...

    So I took the family out for what was to be about 2 hours out on the boat. The plan was to find a nice sandy beach in a quiet area where we could swim, float around and let the kids play. As we anchored the boat in some rocks about 20 ft off shore, we waded in and the area couldn't have looked...

    volvo penta SX drive - running with trim up?

    I recall reading somewhere that the path and angles of the drive shaft and thus the u-joints on the volvo series is different than that of the mercruiser line, and so running just the engine at idle (not in drive) with the trim up in a volvo doesn't stress the u-joints like that of a mercruiser-...

    1999 5.0 gl pwtr in a 20' Chris Craft BR - prop question

    I just finished rebuilding the carb and summerizing my "new-to-me" boat. Everything is running great but it seems to have a flat spot when pulling a skier or wakeboarder right smack in the middle of getting going. More specifically, the boat pulls the skier UP instantly, but after a few seconds...

    Protective coating for anchor

    Not to protect the anchor of course, but to protect the boat. I received a galvanized anchor as a gift and rather than return it, I'd like to explore the possibility of coating it so that when I place it in the bow storage area of the boat, its less likely to scratch and mar the fiberglass. The...

    I recently bought a bowrider with a tower on it- everythings great with it except I'm trying to find out the manufacturer. Is there a common location for a stamping somewhere on it? Thanks

    Gauge issues- faria tach on a 1999 20' bow rider

    I'm having an issue that seemed to start all of a sudden last week - when the blower is on, the rpm increases by about 1,000 - 2,000 rpm. When I turn the blower off, the rpm goes back down to an accurate reading. Then THIS week, the rpm would increase all on its own w/out the blower being...

    boston whaler with twin Mercury 150's - serial 0T648395 - won't start

    I read over the "Outboard wont start" sticky but I'm looking for additional guidance for troubleshooting the fuel system, as that's where I think the symptoms bring me. I adopted the boat from a P.O. who stated it was in perfect running order a year ago- it has since sat indoors and not been...

    Holly carb renew question

    I've got a '99 volvo penta 5.0 GLPLWTR which according to Holley, has a 2300 series marine carb. I recenly purchased renew kit 703-36 which Holley advised was for the carb based on the stamping.

    1999 Volvo Penta 5.0GL PWTR acceleration/bogging/dies

    My issue is that during moderate to heavy throttle increase, the engine dies- almost instantly. It idles well in neutral and if I slowly increase the throttle, it increases in rpms nice and smooth throughout the power band as if nothing is wrong. I've yet to be able to identify the Holley carb...

    All, the starboard side steel hinge for the fiberglass engine cover has broken away from the surrounding fiberglass. This cover weighs a ton and is supported by twin 120 lb gas shocks on either side. When I got the boat the port side hinge was completely missing but I already made a new one. My...

    5.0 GL, 1999, Starboard side PCV hose not connected

    All, in doing summerization on my recently purchased boat, I noticed that the hose connected to the starboard side PCV is not connected to the holly 2bbl carb. The port side is connected to the vent near the fire arrestor. Can anyone tell me where this hose should go? Thanks

    Bought a boat with a wakeboard tower- can I tow a tube?

    I can't find a manufacturing stamp on my tower but it appears to be solid and professionally installed. I was planning on wakeboarding this summer and would have likely hooked the rope right up to it to pull the kids on the tube as well until I just happened to read an advertisement for a...

    Looking at a used 1999 Chris Craft 200 w/ volva penta 5.0

    Hey all, I'm considering upgrading my current 1989 Carvelle 20' bowrider with 4.3 merc to a '99 20' Chris Craft bowrider with the Volvo penta 5.0. My boat runs very well for the age but its getting to the point where the deck and upholstery need to be replaced and I just don't think the ROI is...
