    Converting roller trailer to bunks, looking for advice.

    Use to have a 1966 Signa tri-hull and it was a bit heavier then yours, but took a bit to get it straight to get it on. I like bunk trailers, but putting one setup to load a tri-hull will take some doing. Your going to need a deeper V setup in front, then tapper back toward the rear. You cross...

    Stiff Steering on 1987 Yamaha V4

    :welcome: to iboats Note in the pic below the shaft item 38 and bushing and seals item 40 and 41. The shaft goes through the housing and should be fairly easy to move when the steering cable is not attached. With you being unable to move it with the cable detached, your shaft is probably...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Always talked highly of Formula design, while it could use a bit of improvement in most cases they did a better job then many builders. Then I see what is in the pic and say, what kind a dipstick designed the bilge pump setup? Don't know why there is a PVC pipe running from under the bilge pump...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Replaced the Mercathode anode on the new transom assembly which made me go look at the one which use to be on the old one. Appears the wire was gone from the anode. So with the wire being gone is telling me that the anode was not working. So years ago when my annual inspection showed signs...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Fuel bat looks good, next to no moisture at all. Appears the water was concentrated next to the engine side Now some more bad news. The tank looks great all around except for the saw mark and the engine side. The pits are deep to my thinking. Depth gauge came up with .042 and .057. I will...

    Decarb a Mercruiser 7.4 LX MPI

    Agree carbs will always out perform injected engines at upper rpm band, the reason for injection is throttle response, fuel savings, and a more even torque curve. A 17 to 20 ft lb of torque makes a difference at WOT but next to none anywhere else Agree the first MPI's used by Merc most ran...
