    couple questions on my elec. shift

    Re: couple questions on my elec. shift Hey Viper - a coupla' quick points for you: Treat the drive and engine a little separate at the moment. Have you started the system and tried shifting? Everything works (in a general sense) to move you forward, neutral and reverse? If not - don't try...

    Re: Just bought a 165 OMC Welcome aboard: You've got an OMC electric Shift Stringer outdrive. You need to either submerge the drive (like completely) or utilize a hose adapter on the the trunions like so: Muffs will not work.

    Would it be a bad idea to fish in the rain in a boat?

    Re: Would it be a bad idea to fish in the rain in a boat? Can't tell you how many of these I've made over the years: Even in rowboats with no drain hole, I've been able to fish all day in the rain with no problem.

    OMC Sterndrive

    Re: OMC Sterndrive The engine should have a tag somewhere (unless it's been removed). Mine is located on the Starboard side, toward the back mount. Like so: You can't quite see the tag well, but you can get an idea of location.

    Kinda hope Ford goes broke

    Re: Kinda hope Ford goes broke ... Kinda' found these two posts funny (no offense guys) because of what was on my screen: I don't really get pop-ups, and kinda' thought these two banners were normal. Anyway - I kinda' like Ford, myself.

    Marine VHF vs. VHF

    Aside from water resistance, is there a difference from a VHF radio and a Marine VHF radio? My only guess is that a marine VHF has a limited range of frequencies compared to a non-marine VHF. I believe I'm correct that off the water you have to be licensed to operate a VHF radio, yes?

    Using towable tubes on snow?

    Re: Using towable tubes on snow? I would think the cover will take a beating and slow the tube down. I've gone on inner tubes and they work pretty well... ... but back in the day, this: was THE BEST. Find one some where, wax the rails for a few minutes, sled. Rinse, repeat. :cool:

    Electric shift spring clutch on OMC sterndrive

    Re: Electric shift spring clutch on OMC sterndrive If it's an electric shift, the prop should spin without any power to it. If you're an electric shift, you should have two cables coming off the intermediate housing on the port side of the engine. You can see mine on the lower right side of...

    Any heating and cooling guys out there?

    Got the news today ... my main floor heating/cooling unit has pretty much given up the ghost :eek: I trust the guy who looked at it for me (he's worked on our stuff a couple of times, and has excellent references), and he says it could be repaired (condenser problems - I'll get specifics...

    What are the worst 3 vehicles you have ever owned.

    Re: What are the worst 3 vehicles you have ever owned. Mine looked almost just like this one: Mine was the auto too, and you're right the five speed was completely gutless. The auto was a dog off the line, but right around 40MPH that turbo would really get going and that car would take off...

    Where to get carpet

    Re: Where to get carpet In this picture I hadn't done cleanup on the floor yet, and have just realized that I never did another shot with the floor specifically: 40 year old floor, and fake smoked wood finish on the seats to boot. Newer stuff is MUCH nicer looking. A couple of guys have...

    72 omc stern drive 225 overhting ???

    Re: 72 omc stern drive 225 overhting ??? It's tough (I think) to submerge the drive enough to get water running through the system. It's supposed to be this deep when operating: If you've got this hose attachment on your unit, run some water in that to see if the system is cooling: If you...
