dan is watching this thread carefully - he was thrilled to here he had 100% of the votes (didn't tell him it was only 4 - lmao)

do you have any pics of the boat. if the engines are accessible than it shouldn't be to bad, however, i they are midships in a salon it will be a big pain in the rear.

had to vote for my boy, he was thrilled that someone else liked his picture. must be looking for his 15 minutes of fame - lol!

more than likely a worn impeller - water pressure from a hose is enough to circulate through the engine (about 60psi). as soon as it hits the water, then it has to work on it's own - that's when the fun begins. fix the impeller and then do a compression test and leakdown test on the engine to...

one of my favourite ones too!

i have not played with efi to much either, backfiring can certainly be caused by bad timing, which i beleive is run through the ecm. it is possible that the ecm has gone south, however, in my experiance, other than when new - the ecms are very reliable. you may have to try and swap it out - or...

have you put a computer on it to see if you're getting any trouble codes? also make sure you have drained the fuel tank and the complete system - a little water goes a long way to screwing up a fuel system

here's a link to the museum: http://www.mbhc.ca/

that is awesome :thumb:

here's one i like - again - no boat - but a good scenery shot: taken on the ottawa river last summer in the town of mattawa - you're looking at the quebec border.

i'm ready to glass the stringers, but time has been scarce, work has been busy, been dating too, which takes up some free time:devil:. i am planning on doing some work on monday if all goes well. fixing the dock has eaten up alot of time too, got one side almost done, this weekend i am...

yeah, the flower boxes don't look bad - a lot of flood damage this spring though - i got the one pier fixed but the side you see there still needs some love.

i'll throw up a couple: this is my baby - 79 Checkmate Predictor undergoing a full restoration (if i ever get the time that is): This is the other boat - at least it runs -1986 Sea Ray Seville: And this one i get to play with every now and then - 2006 grew challanger w/2008 250ss...

you have 2 choices as far as oil goes. Mercury Marine High Performance Gear Lube, is an excellant product. it doesn't flow very well in cold weather which is the only thing i don't like about that product. personally i used Amsoil synthetic gear lube and have done so for a couple of years...

love to help, but need the make, model and year, could be anything. the more details the better.

isn't saltwater stuff fun? it still amazes me as to what corrosion can do to aluminum hopefully the rest of the repair is goes smoothly

salt water is a killer - you have no choice but to get midevil on this thing. first the steering cable is cooked. cut the thing off and be done with it - hacksaw works fine for that. next, loosen off the steering nut where the cable enters the tilt tube. then remove the steering arm to the...

i'm assuming a couple of things here 1. - you've cut the cable already near the tilt tube 2. - this is a saltwater motor i've never seen one that badly seized although i know it does happen. i'm thinking you are going to need some good heat. i believe the tilt tube is aluminum and the...

yeah, it has nice lines, it would be even better if they had a bowrider version. we had 5 kids and 3 adults in it on saturday - it was a little cozy - good thing i'm on good terms with my girlfriend!

so, time for a little update - no pics though - nothing has changed. this year there is a 250ss on it. Dave is still tweaking it - but so far he is getting 74 gps off the new engine. and seems to handle very well. i believe he is running a 29" prop on it. acceleration is awesome with that...
