    Roller question

    On my trailer I have your basic 2 bunk 4 center roller setup. The roller on the back of my trailer don't even touch the boat. It also sits higher than the bottom of the boat and I have to take it off to unscrew the plug. I am thinking of just leaving it off. Is this a good or bad idea?

    I was all set to register my boat and I found out it has a lean against it in someone else name.

    grounding wires

    I have pulled all the wiring out of my boat and im starting fresh. I started with the lights and have a ground from the bow to battery in the back of the boat. Can I splice multiple circuits in to that ground, or is that asking for a fire?

    Tach wiring question

    My boat has had a motor swap prior to me taking ownership and the tach was never hooked up. Does any one have a wiring diagram on a 77 evinrude 85hp v4? Or something that can help me get this tach hooked up.

    I stole a boat

    OK I did not steal it but a got for a steal. Yesterday I traded my thundercraft with no floor for a 81 dyna-trac 176 s/s with a 85hp evenrude. The guy i got the boat from traded me because he could not find a title for the boat, about 3hours of searching I came up the title.

    Any thing else to look for???

    As stated in another thread I had to rewire my motor. I got it started on the muffs and it ran great, but when I put it in the water today it was loading up and bogging down while spiling gas out of the carbs. I was told it could be bad gas, a bad head gasket, or out of tune carbs. I got a...

    Got the new to me boat home

    I went to look at a 79 Thundercraft titan ss with a 79 50hp merc thunderbolt, I asked the seller to start it for me and it had no spark. Against my better judgment I paid the man and drug it home. Three hours of completely rewiring the whole outboard she runs like a dream. After all the wiring...

    79 50hrose

    I have just picked up a 79 Thundercraft Titan ss with a 50hp merc outboard. The motor turns freely and has good compression but its not sparking. The 2 wires coming up out of the harness are carotid and the casing has fallen off them. I am assuming one wire is a hot wire off the magneto and the...
