It has been a while guys, but I am finally trying to get the V up and running again. Skool rebuilt the carbs (1988 Evinrude 120 VRO looper, VRO disconnected) several years ago and it never has really been run since. I was able to get it fired and running but one needle valve is apparently...

:birthday:

I want to make a service switch, I guess that's what it called, 3 ft or so and plugs into the red plug on the motor to crank close to the motor. It there an easy way? I know I would need the plug end from the control box and a switch, anything else other than a box to house it?

I need to find way to store some motors. I bought a 235 for the Wellcraft 228 sportsman and a 150 use for the V eventually. I need to get them out of my truck. I do not have a shop, so stands are not an option. I do have a shed I am going to add a covered side area to to keep them under...

Well after my failed attempt to clean or unstick the issue with my carb(s), I decided to take it to have it repaired. There are numerous places to choose from but chose the one I did based on local reviews online. Needless to say, their experience must have been better than mine. First of...

I am heading to Sunset beach with the family today for the weekend, and I am going to meet up with Reel while I am there. Unfortunately his Merc blew up and my V is still in the shop. It will still be good just get together and meet.

I am going to attempt to redo the transom on the '84 228 myself. What is the average cost of the mat, resin and hardener? If I remember correctly from reading numerous post from the past, using 1708 Biaxial is best, right? Also, what is the best wood to use?

Well after a day of HELL there and back, I finally got home around 330am this morning with the newest member of the family. A 1984 Wellcraft 228, I think it was the predecessor to the sportsman. I have been looking for something a little bigger than the V, and found her on CL for a great...

Do by chance any of your parts hounds have a good VRO V4 fuel pump. I had order a supposedly "almost new" one that has cracks all over the housing and leaks like a sieve. Needles to say I ain't putting that thang on my v.

Now that I have your attention, get your minds out of the gutter. I am still having fuel issues so I replaced the primer bulb and line, hence the soft and supple part. I am trying to eliminate as many things as possible. I am running from a portable tank connected directly to the fuel pump...

I am going to head out on the water to see if the SeaFoam did the trick to clean the gunk out of the carbs.

Please don't tell my wife, she just doesn't understand. I bought another boat today, a 20ft Proline. I Love the V20 but when I saw the space in this deck, I immediately wanted it. I can't wait to get her home and rigged.

I have read numerous post on here and THT regarding this issue. I have seen ways ranging from cutting a hole in the tank, using a match, to a shop vac, but nothing really seems smart, practical or useful to me. Is there a recommended way that will actually work? First of all, I want to make...

Reel, I was looking through the gallery and found this picture of you old V. Did you make these boxes yourself or buy them? If made, what did you make them out of?

Ferm, This quote is from an old thread I found regarding decarbing with SeaFoam. My question is after this procedure, do you continue to use the remaining fuel as mixed or add to another batch to dilute the SeaFoam some? P.S. Did you ever do the video?
