    Good morning all. Question. What could be causing my radio to drain my battery. It’s a new battery. The boat is a 1989 Baja islander 190. I think it might be wired wrong but that’s why I’m asking. It has been like this ever since I’ve had it. Almost afraid to turn it off while we are just...

    Throttle cable

    What’s the best way to adjust the throttle cable? I have a 1989 Baja islander 190 mercruiser 3.0.

I would have...

    well hello folks. I have a 1989 Baja islander 190 3.0. I went to change the tube that goes into the gas tank that draws it to the engine. It got almost out and I guess seized up and snapped.
