Need to sell my 1991 V20 cuddy with 4.3 Litre V6 Mercruiser (190 hp). Hull is a 1991, but complete new factory engine with all new components was put into her in 2006. Engine has less than 100 hours on it. Outdrive is the original Mercruiser Alpha. This was my Dad's boat he bought new in...

I was up in Scituate, Massachusetts to visit my Mom and we all went out on a friend's boat. It was a 20' 4 Winns cuddy cabin. Nice enough boat, but not the kind of boat I would like to have for ocean use, especially with it sitting on a mooring every day without a mooring cover. Anyway, we...

I related in a couple previous threads my electrical problems with my 1991 V20 cuddy with 2006 Mercruiser 4.3 liter I/O. Problem began about 3 weeks ago when I suddenly lost all power except tilt and trim. No blower/bilge/navigation lights/fishbox, etc., and of course, no ignition and no power...

Let me be the first here to wish you a happy birthday and the best of health in the coming year.

Hey, Aussie, haven't heard anything from down under in a while. I think I can speak for all of us here that we hope you are doing ok with the heart issue.

I was just listening to National Public Radio and heard that the last space shuttle safely landed. Those space shuttles, despite some problems, were absolutely amazing.

Well, I gave up on trying to diagnose my electrical problem and took it to a mechanic I know. Almost 2 weeks later I got it back. There is a darned 20A blade type fuse in one of the wiring harness, hidden inside what looks like any of the other wiring harness connectors. D'oh! Lost 2 weeks...

well, I am still fighting my lack of power. The 90 Amp fuse is good, as is the 50 Amp circuit breaker. I believe I have power going to the ignition switch, but not beyond. I have power going from the stern to the front on a large red wire, but not on a large red/purple striped wire. How does...

Hey guys, especially Thefermenator, I believe my electrical problem is likely the 90A fuse on the starter solenoid. Owner's manual states "A 90 amp fuse is located on the large post of the starter solenoid. This fuse is designed to protect the engine wiring harness if an electrical overload...

Took my 91 V20 cuddy cabin out today and had a real nice day. After the last stop for a swim, I fired her up, idled away from the shallows a bit, hit the throttle, and about 5 seconds later, BAM, everything shut down. I immediately noticed none of the gauges was registering any electric power...

Well, I sold my 1986 Formula F-2 Sunsport cuddy a few weeks ago to a nice guy. I thoroughly explained to him that the boat had not been used for 4 years, but that I drained out all the old gas, changed the oil in the motor and the lower unit, she fired up and ran well on the hose, but that he...

Hey MJ and Valiant, Roobin Hood appears to have honored us with about 10 spam posts.

I sold my 1985 Formula F-2 Sunsport cuddy cabin Sunday afternoon after owning her since 1997. Lots of good times with the kids in that boat. However, after I inherited my V20, I had not used it since 2007. The V20 has a much larger cockpit than the Formula (Formula had really big cabin for a...

I have bottom paint on my 1991 V20 cuddy (from the days when it spent its like on the ocean). It is now trailered, so I really do not need bottom paint. However, I do not want to go the time and trouble of stripping it, at least not this season. I have some old West Marine Copolymer ablative...

I am trying to sell my 1985 Formula F-2 sunsport cuddy. The only guages which are working are the voltmeter and the tachometer. None of the other guages appears to have any power because the panel lights do not light up on the non-functioning guages, but the lights come on for the voltmeter...

Still trying to sell my 1985 Formula. I have fixed her up, cleaned her up, drained all fluids and she seems to be running well and shifting into and out of gear. I am worried about the bellows/boots (there are 2, right) on the Mercruiser (pre alpha) outdrive. On visual inspection, they look...

I am home today working out in the yard. I live near Indianapolis Regional Airport where a large air show, featuring the Blue Angels, will start tomorrow. I am being treated to my own little free air show with all the aircraft coming in for the event. Very cool.

Check out this cool new laser weapon developed by the Navy. But why oh why did they have to use an expensive boat with over $20,000 worth of outboards for the test? Why not use a really old boat with a single, older, outboard...
