When the motor is tilted up then put back down it turns over slower and will not start. After sitting for fifteen minutes or so it turns over faster and runs fine. Still does not turn over as fast as it should. I would guess there is to much fuel in cylinders?? With injection it does not make...

When I tilt one of my motors up it floods out. I am thinking the diaphragms might be shot. She starts up after sitting for about fifteen minutes. Had a lot of issues off this craigslist specials. Hopefully this will be it. You get what you pay for and learn a lot on the way. It also seems to be...

thanks

Going to be dropping gulfstream into water at the end of month. Won t be pulling her out except for inspection and cleaning. The motor brackets and portion of lower unit sit in the water at full tilt. I am worried about corrosion would bottom paint work for this app??? What would the proper app...

I have been thinking it would be a good idea in the cabin, to keep it dryer inside. Going from freezing temps to nonfreezing temps can cause alot of condensation in the interior of a boat thus mold smell. I would always winterize, anything electrical can fail.

What grady do you have? I have a 91 gulfstream. I might have two of the pieces you are looking. If they will work

I think i will wire transfer money with a signed contract. He seems like a decent fellow. Funds are traceable. I would guess this would be a norm for this type of transaction. When I changed motors, the marina in NC agreed to give me 1000 dollars for both 150 s It took me 3 months of bothering...

Great that sounds reasonable thanks.

Yes When I wire the money in 18k to a persons bank account that I do not know. He has the money and title to the boat I have nothing. I am not worried about this guy but do not like the risk either. Maybe pay pale???? There has to be away that both parties are protected I would assume that this...

Ok I am looking at a boat in long island to use at the coast as a place to stay. Its is a 340 Sea Ray Flybridge. Nice shape, I had a survey done. All is good. Here is the issue How do I pay the individual in a secure manor. I do not want to fly to long island just to pay for it. Hire a broker to...

Ok I think it is possible the wired the keys wrong when they installed the motors when I tilt one motor up the other kicks in goes down the motor runs down constantly until I go back and use the tilt on the motor then it seems fine and operates how it should. They did say that they had the same...
