Thomas,
I respectfully disagree with your statements about this author's carburetor problems. As I have suggested to "Surveyor", I also suggest that you do the same. And when you finish reading all the archived posts, why please return to this thread and share with others what you have learned.
Surveyor, There have been heaps of threads posted on this website over the years regarding damage ethanol gasoline has done to carbureted outboard motors. I suggest you go to the index and become familiar with the matter before you begin disassembling your engine.
In addition to all the foregoing advice, dissassemble one of the wheel hubs and determine what both the inner and outer hub bearing numbers are. Then purchase a replacement set for each position along with an inner seal and extra cotter pin. And if you are capable of doing repair work, bring...
Since the original motor was removed and replaced with the 2007 model, the steering cable would have had to be disconnected. And since there is extreme force being applied to the motor pivot point when on plane, I would check to see if the steering cable may not have been tightened...
David, My 2004 C-dory is presenting with the same issues. The holes should be cleaned with acetone and filled with epoxy resin first. Once cured, I plan to use gelcoat mixed with a small amount of talcum to prevent running and the possibility of future cracking. The applications would...
I'm with Thomas Elliot on this matter and suggest that you do some investigation of wiring, connectors, and sensors. Use an ohm meter to check voltage and resistances on all the related circuits. I also see there is a notice in the factory service manual that indicates a visual inspection...
Robert & Karen, Neither the foam, nor the plywood shown in this photo offers any structural integrity whatsoever to the boat. From my experience, I believe the triangular shaped foam was used to support the deck in its proper position while the "hull to deck" joint was being fiberglassed...
Robert & Karen, If your frustration level begins to overwhelm your patience, you might consider using a "one piece cast stainless 316L pad eye" like the one shown below. This would allow you to use bolts, (with nuts on the outside of hull), to conveniently tighten securely. Use of "medium"...

It is obvious from what you described that internal engine damage has occured. The mechanics report that "two" spark plugs have had their electrodes erroded is one clue that leads me to think the engine was experiencing bouts of excessive heat. This could occur by running the engine without...
BB, Assuming the Guest "dual" charge system is operating correctly, you might check the age of the house battery. Once sulphated, the battery would continue to draw current and never reach the full charge state.
Unfortunately, I must disagree with my good friend Bob Austin and the statements he just made. As an example; "diodes do not drop voltage, resistors do". The use of a "multiple terminal" (3 or more in this case) battery charging isolator is the exact device our friend Tom needs to employ...
