    Really stuck?

    As you can see I replaced both harness and trailer connections. Not much changed, the right directional flickers a little better and the right brake light still doesn't work. All running lights work and the left directional and brake lights work good, just like before the connection changes...

    Frustrated! What is wrong and how to fix?

    All running lights work. The right side brake light doesn't and the right side directional flickers but you can barely see it. I installed a new sealed capsule and it didn't help. Brought it back as the salesman told me he thought it would be a bad ground anyway. I have a brown and green wire...

    How to check ground wires?

    I have the sealed capsule tail lights. The right side works but when I hook the trailer up, the directional barely flickers. I can't figure out how to remove the capsule from the bracket because of the plastic lip that holds it to the bracket but the problem may be as simple as a ground...

    Sealed Capsule brake/directional light ?

    Good Morning Gentleman, I'm trying to replace the starboard side trailer brake light. The directional does not flicker bright enough. This is the sealed capsule unit and I can't figure out how to remove it from the box bracket without possibly breaking it. Does anyone know how to remove the...

    Tiller and Steering Cable question?

    1995 Force 120hp. The boat turns sharply and quickly to starboard if I let go of the wheel. When under throttle the steering wheel has to be held firmly to keep her straight. I've adjusted the tiller as far left as possible with very little or no compensation. The tiller can only go so far left...

    Stumped ?

    '95 Bayliner 1700 Capri LS, open bow. The lower end of my ski locker has a drain hole that is supposed to drain into the back of the boat. Something is plugging up the hole. I used a cloths hanger and was able to pull out some weeds and other stuff. I realized the gas tank is down there attached...

    '95 Force 120hp/ Tachometer

    Good Morning Gentleman, Is it possible to understand how fast I'm going using a tach instead of a speedometer? For example, if my tach reads 3500, appoximately how fast is the boat going? The boat weighs 1745lbs if that helps. I understand other variables are probably at work: prop, total...

    1995 Force 120. One owner and taken care of.

    Hello everyone! Been a little while but I know where the help is. I'm looking at a '95 capri with the 120hp this Saturday. I had a '84, 85hp for seven years so I'm familiar with the motor and did all my own "basic" maintenance. Great motor, always got me home. The '95 would be after Mercury...

    New (to me) boat, just not yet.

    Thought I'd share a quick story. I've been looking for about 6 months and have looked everywhere including here at iboats for a particular model. I've scanned hundreds, called on quite a few and have looked at several. I found what I believe to be a very good deal. However it's 400 miles away...

    First I/O, General maintenance q.

    Hello Gentleman, I may purchase a 2002 Capri Cuddy, 3.0 with the Alpha 1. I'm just wondering if the general maintenance is something I could handle on my own? I'm a decent wrench turner but have never owned an I/O. TY, Dave

    1995 3.0 LX/ alpha 1 genII outdrive

    I'm interested in this set up in a 19' Bayliner. The head was taken off and resurfaced, yet the guy who did the work said NO signs of overheating. Cylinders were clean, no scoring. He went on to say that the heads were never really straight on this motor from the factory. Has anyone ever heard...
