I need to separate the throttle lever from the mechanism on the other side of the sideboard. This is so I can re-vinyl that part of the boat. I have a Regal xl. I removed four screws already. Four other very large Philips screws seem to be holding the whole thing together.
Any suggestions? It sounds like by the description, that you're working with a merc control box flush mount. Once the handle is removed, remove the four screws and voila! I can start my boat with the ignition key but I cannot turn the motor off.
What could be the problem? The starter is going to be starting a 40hp two-stroke outboard motor. It's probably the ignition switch. If you can get to the switch, check for continuity between the two "M" terminals on the back of the switch.
With a key in run position and not in continuity put the key in off position, continuity. I have a boat with 80 horse outboard mercury. The boat and motor are from the late 70s. Despite the boat's age, I have had zero problems with the motor over the last 17 years. When the boat was put away for the winter, the shift lever was in the forward position. When the boat was taken out of storage this weekend, I could barely get the shifter into the neutral position and could not pull it back into reverse.
When I tried to start the motor the propeller would turn. Any ideas? Take off the cowling, and remove the shift linkage from the power head. Try moving the shift lever by hand, and then try the remote.
This will tell you where the problem is. My guess would be the cable, which is not to hard to replace. Besides, it's probably time to. You might also want to check the reverse lock. A rod comes from the lower unit that has two hooks on it. It is supposed to lock the motor to the tilt pin when the motor is shifted into neutral or reverse. Sometimes they corrode and stick.
My dad and I are trying to fix up his boat. The vinyl top was rolled up for about eight years and is stiff. Is there any way to make the vinyl more pliable or is it a loss?
Just from experience and the information you've provided, I would recommend using the old vinyl top only as a pattern for a new one. These materials from just a few years ago are so incredibly inferior to today's technology, it's not worth trying to keep.
These days the materials are manufactured with new plasticizers and UV protectants that weren't even invented a few years ago. Make sure that if you use a garden hose that you do not turn off the nozzle while the hose is hot.
Home garden hoses cannot take the heat and will burst under pressure. I have a small craft that was left in the water. It was removed and it's covered with barnacles. The main part of the barnacles was scraped off. All that remains is a thin layer of barnacle skins.
It's a fiberglass boat. I was considering using some kind of acid to make getting this off easier. Can anyone tell me what might remove it short of scraping and damaging the gel coat? Go for the scraping and then some sanding. Don't worry about the gel coat. When you're done, give it two coats of a good bottom paint. Check on the paint you use - some bottom paints have to go into the water right away. You don't get blisters on the boat when it's in the water.
They come from an osmosis build up in the lay up of the glass when the boat is made. Some get it and some don't. I've got some oil stains on the exterior vinyl cushions - I've tried and even bleach white but nothing seems to work. How can I clean them? Use some gas, it will take care of the oil. You will have to use vinyl conditioner to seal it.
I have a Bayliner , 2. Recently the boat had a lot of work done. When I got the boat, it was idling very high. I took it to the shop last Monday and just got it back yesterday. The mechanic fixed my idle timing, checked my fluids and cooling system. He put the boat in gear and he said it was fine. It ran perfect. I went to the lake today for the first time, and it floats, first good news.
It took me a few minutes to get it running, and it sounded good. I put the boat in reverse, and I got this huge jerk and the engine cut out. I put the boat in forward - big jerk and engine cut out. One of the times trying to put in it reverse it jerked pretty hard and worked for a few minutes. Put it in forward, jerked, and cut off. The last time I put it in forward and it cut off, I went to turn the engine over again with no luck. I swam over to the dock with a rope and pull the boat to dock, and then put the thing on the trailer.
The mechanic said it ran in gear fine and said it was good. I don't understand what this problem could be. You will have to take the plugs out of the engine and turn the engine over to blow the water out of the cylinders. If you are going forward and crank it into reverse real fast, it will suck water into the engine. This is a stupid question. My boat says 8 people or pounds. Does that mean I can have 10 people in boat if I don't go over the pounds? I think technically 8 is your limit, probably based on safe seating.
They can't be all pounders, based on not sinking. Having said that, I know I'm not alone in exceeding the number limit on my boat with a bunch of kids. I'm sure that would be grounds for a ticket if stopped. More importantly, use reason to insure safety. Vist our Boating Forums to get your own boating questions answered.

They have to verify the condition of the motor as well as the serial number before transferring the warranty to your name. For instance, a model that has hours on it is not the same as a boat with the same amount of hours. The newer motor obviously has been run harder than the older boat, which could be a cause for concern. If the owner took good care of the engine had it routinely serviced , and the engine was primarily used in freshwater, anything under hours should be just fine.
I would say that you could even go a little higher and be okay, but since there are so many used boats on the market, why settle for a motor with more hours when you could more than likely get the same setup, but with fewer hours.
If it was serviced regularly and they have proof to back it up, you know that the boat and motor were likely taken very good care of and are probably in good condition.
Get the VIN number from the boat and motor and call the business to verify this information. If none of this can be verified, or if there are gaps in the service records, then you might want to think twice about buying this boat. I understand that just like with their cars, a lot of people do the routine maintenance stuff themselves to save a little money.
Keep this in mind, because at some point you may want to sell your boat and if you have verifiable proof that you took good care of it, you will make the selling process that much easier. One of the most destructive things to an outboard engine is saltwater!
However, if you know that you are going to be doing most or even all of your fishing in fresh water, then look for a boat with a motor that has been used in fresh water exclusively. The easiest way to determine if a motor has been used in saltwater is to take the cover off the motor and look for small deposits of salt around the seals of the powerhead. Hopefully, they at least had a boat cover to protect it! If you found the boat for sale on a site such as Craigslist, make sure to read the entire description and what is actually included in the sale price.
Some people will list a boat at a good price, but neglect to include in their description that everything is not included. Knowing whether or not the seller is the original owner of the boat can give you some insight into how well the boat was taken care of.
It can also let you know whether or not you will be able to transfer any warranties that the boat may have. Most warranties, such as lifetime hull warranties will only transfer to a second owner and not a third. Sure the current owner may have all the paperwork showing that the boat has been well maintained, but how well did the previous owner take care of it. Again, there are too many fish in the sea to settle for something that is less than acceptable.
If they are willing to let you take it out, be prepared to put forth some type of deposit in order to do so. Never, ever let them talk you out of a test drive! Even if the engine cranks right up on land, and all the extras work just fine, make them take you out on the water.
Buying a used boat is a big investment for most of us! I wanted to thank you for this advice for getting used boats.
You mentioned that you should learn if the boat has any little quirks. It sounds important to research this for any boat you get, especially if some quirks you think you can handle better than others.
