    Any info on old crestliner?

    I recently bought a aluminum crestliner boat. I think it is a 1968 16' flying crest. The only id I can find on it is M8616 stamped on the starboard side of the stearn. Title says it's a 1967. Any info such as max hp rating and such would be appreciated.

    Power trim and tilt question

    I have a 1967 johnson 60hp that I would like to install power trim on. I know that they make universal units. I have seen factory units on e-bay, any idea what years are compatible. Was this even an option on my motor, or do I have to use something like cmc.

    1967 60hp Johnson....wrong prop?

    I just purchased this boat so I have not had it the water yet. It's a 1967 crestliner aluminum hull. ANyhow the prop on the motor seems really small, 10 x 9 1/4. That size prop is not even listed as standard. When I get the boat on the water it will mainly be used for fishing and pulling the...

    Is this the right part?

    I need the clamp that holds the ball on the throttle cable. Is #36 in the diagram the correct part? If it is I can't believe that it cost so much. Has anyone ever made one?

    Stick steering

    Does anyone make stick steering other than Ezy-Glide? Those things must be made from gold.

    Remote steering on a 12' tinny?

    Any one have remote steering on a boat this small? I got an electric start 9.9 with the wiring harness and evinrude controls (everything but a steering cable). I'm trying to decide weather to bag it and sell all the controls or try and mount a remote steer. I seen the EZ Stiks but they cost more...

    Converting 1986 9.9 to tiller control

    My 1986 9.9 is electric start and remote steering. I want to convert it back to tiller. I see from the parts diagram that 1986 was the first year they went to a cable control in the tiller. 1986-1987 all have the same part number. Question is other than location of kill switch is there a...

    Should I have a stator?

    The parts diagram for my motor (J10RCDB) lists a stator and a rectifier. Would my motor have these parts, and where would they be. There is only the coil laminate assy. and sensor under the flywheel.

    Am I wasting my time without a DVA

    Trying to troubleshoot an issue with no spark on a 1986 9.9. All the ohm tests checked out but I don't have a DVA. Are all these tests useless without one, or is there another method I could use? My multi meter will read up to 500V DC.

    HP ratings at prop vs flywheel

    Another post on here got me thinking about hp ratings and hull ratings. Being that HP used to be measured at the flywheel, does that change the hull rating of an older boat. If my old hull is rated for 100hp (which is about 80-90 today) and I put a new 100hp motor on it, am I over the rating?

    HP rating for a 12ft boat.

    Got a 12' Klamath Trailorboat. It has no hull ID tag on it so I am unsure of the HP rating. Is there a way to figure it out using the boat dimensions? 60" wide (50" at the stearn), 21" deep, 12' long. It's relativly flat bottomed V hull only extends 1/3 way back.
