    1987 Stratos 179v

    Generally if it's at the steering bezel it's to adjust the tension on the helm. Some remotes have the same type of tension adjust for the throttle. Got a photo?

    1st Boat/First Thread/First Everything lol. Need help

    Most marinas that close at 5PM have 24 hour access to the slips. Maybe not to the ramp (though, ramp access at many here in TN is 24 hours), but there's usually a way for you to get on and off. Especially if there are houseboats and cruisers in the slips.

    Stingray 234 outboard leaking at trim tab mounts

    Manufacturer probably didn't install the trim tabs. They are "rigging" that was more likely put on at the dealer level. I'd get with the dealer as recommended.

    1978 Starcraft Holiday 18 I/O steering issue

    Have you checked the steering gear in the upper case? That's a Stringer drive, correct?

    Omc 5.7 engine replacement

    The motor is mounted to the stringers ... which are at the same level as the floor. If you unbolt the bellhousing, with no prep the intermediate drive and the stern drive will fall to the ground. Your prep should be to remove the stern drive. Then remove the boot. You probably don't need to...

    16' Cape Craft lists to port

    It is sitting properly on the transom? Not off level or out of center? How's the skeg? And maybe foil ... any bends in 'em? Welcome aboard.

    Party Deck 21 Fuel Tank

    I would recommend raising the bow of the boat a couple of feet with the plug out of the stern. If there's free liquid in there, it should make it to the drain that way. If not, then you'll need to check the tank visually for leaks, stringers and floatation foam for absorption. If after a...

    Seasoned Mechanics

    Outboard or sterndrive? I don't know any outboards that were tilted by a quadrant gear. I think everyone is sniffing an OMC Stringer. In which case the first suspect would be the tilt motor. Welcome aboard.

    In search for a 17 ft deck boat

    I have the 19' version of that boat (assuming it's the classic). I wound up getting mine from family; would probably never have bought it on my own. However, for me it's been a very good boat. Fit and finish on some of the rigging is cheap, you can tell. But overall it runs well and handles what...

    Help Identifying Boat

    Welcome aboard. That thing could be made by anybody. I'd do some searching on Montgomery Ward and Sears Jon Boats and see what you come up with. They're pretty common boats. If the HIN isn't stamped into the stern, then you're probably earlier than '76. More like '73 or earlier.
