    Quicksilver Throttle-Shift Control Cable Replacement Help

    I need to replace the control cables for my Mariner (it is a 1982 as is, I assume, the controller and cables). I've removed (with a little help from some vice-grips and a "Grabbit") the controller and pulled off the back cover to expose the cable ends. I'm not sure what the next step would be...

    Help With ID/Source of Thru-Transom Fittings

    Can anybody tell me what these fittings are called? And a source? They are used in a through-transom application to compensate for the angle of the transom. Also, I'm looking for a source of 3/4" I.D. pvc/nylon/plastic tubing that is straight threaded (not pipe threaded) for the entire...

    Staple Length for Bunk Carpet

    What length staple do you guys use when fastening bunk carpet. West Marine seems to have the SS staples available only in the 3/8 inch length. Is that long enough for reliable fastening?

    Mariner Reverse Lock

    Here's another reverse lock problem (seem to be a lot of these). 1982 Mariner 30 hp, exclusively used in salt water, last used in 1992. I vaguely remenber a problem with the motor tilting up when applying some throttle in reverse at that time. Fast forward to present. Motor brought back to...

    Compact Water Separating Fuel Filter?

    Checked out the ones in Walmart and at West Marine - hoping for something a little smaller (for ease of mounting). Is there a more compact kit, preferably with a transparent water collector? I'll be running a 30 HP Mariner.

    Teleflex Steering Cable Question

    Thanks to the various posts on the subject I've just successfully pulled out my old (and shot) steering cable. The information on the cable is: "Teleflex 12'; SC7212 F2." It steers a 1982 Mariner 30 hp outboard. Is there a Teleflex model # cross reference site? Or should I take the QC II...

    Bonding Aluminum Hull

    Well, after reading many conflicting posts on this subject my conclusion is that I will bond my aluminum hull to the negative terminal of my battery (however, I will [U]not[U] be using the hull as the ground for the electrical components - each will have a dedicated ground wire). The tipping...

    Bench Seat Paint

    What type of paint do you guys use for bench seats in a boat? They will be sat on most of the time, however there will be times when they will be used to step into/out of the boat. The high gloss topside paints that seem to be most available look to be too slippery, particularly when wet. The...

    As part of the renovation work on my 1982 Bayrunner, I will be adding a platform in the bow - between the bow and the front bench seat, with storage under. The original construction of the Bayrunner has the plywood components mounted to the aluminum hull with aluminum "L" brackets formed...

    Minimum Horsepower for Bayrunner

    I have a 1982 Bayrunner, 15 ft. long. Max. horsepower is shown as 35. It weighs about 350 lbs. w/o motor. It currently has a 30 hp Mariner which provided way more power than I needed. I rarely ran it over about 1/2 throttle. I will be re-powering and am looking to down-size. Anyone with...

    Re: Interior Paint Question OK, maybe I've figured this image posting process out (????). Hopefully, here is a shot of the interior of my Bayrunner showing the flat grey aluminum hull and the location of the aft thwart, that I will be covering with new MDO plywood (to replace the dry-rotted...

    Interior Paint Question

    Doing some work on my 15.5 ft. 1982 Bayrunner that will eventually result in some repainting of the interior plywood. The factory paint for both the aluminum and plywood on the interior is a flat grey with white or yellow flecks (assume it had to have been sprayed). I'd like to continue with...
