Is the VRO still hooked up or do you premix? If that cylinder is running with low compression it can make the motor run like crap out on the water while running under a load, BUT it may run fine at home on the muffs. I had a Merc 150 V6 that had one cylinder w/low compression. It ran great on...

I would go ahead and pull the carbs off and clean them real good. The seafoam may have broken some trash up and possibly clogged up a jet. After that run it for a few minutes then check the compression again. *DISREGARD* See my next post.

If it were me I would just keep looking on ebay for a good used wiring harness for that motor. One will eventually pop up.

You can pull the head and look at the cylinder in question to see if there are any gouges or scoring in the cylinder. If you don't see any damage I wouldn't worry too much about it, just decarb it some more.

No, the trailer WORKS fine, I just think it LOOKS too small for the boat.

I think my trailer looks too small for my boat. I'm thinking that if I could get a wider axle I could get the wheels to sit outside of the boat instead of under it. Or do you guys think I would just have to look for another trailer? 1988 17' Starcraft All Welded (I measured boat at 16'), Dilly...

I have a 1988 16' starcraft all welded jon boat, 70" beam, 66" (5.5') wide transom, steering, 20" transom, that came with a 1989 evinrude 40hp. The sticker says its rated for a 35hp. When I first read this post I calculated my numbers and came up with 90 hp. Here are my numbers; 16' long x 5.5'...

Man that's a nice boat. You got a great deal. Did it come with papers (boat registration, title for trailer)?

I have 3 boats. 2 of them were bought as projects. First is a 1984 Skeeter Starfire 18' bass boat. I knew it had a bad cylinder when I bought it. But I didn't know that the floor and stringers were rotten. So I pulled the motor(mercury 150 v6 xr2 blackmax) off and took it apart. Had the...

I took it out earlier and it ran real good. There were 3 of us in the boat (about 650 lbs) and I had a steady 38 mph on the gps. I didn't have a chance to clock it by myself as the **** shift cable came loose where it connects under the bottom carb. I don't have a tach but it seems to me I could...

Hey guys, I have a 1988 Starcraft aluminum jon boat and am wondering if any of you have or seen one like mine. I am wanting to get some flooring/decking ideas from others. I have been looking at the builds, cajun special, trackers and such. I was told that cajun special bought out starcraft...

I took my boat to a welding shop and he welded a piece of aluminum on the bow to mount my troll motor. Works and looks great. It took about 20 minutes. $50 total.
