I am looking for a diesel outboard engine for a 16' runabout. I have heard many good things about diesel over gas, and want to know where I can find them in the USA.

I just got a new boat with a diesel engine and I don't understand why there is a coolant tank as well as a water pump? I think the water pump goes to the heat exchanger but what actually cools the motor - how does this stuff work?

Lehman Ford Diesel - The engine is running a little warm (180 to 190) and I noticed that coolant is coming out of the cap on the coolant tank (or the overflow I think they called it) should i just replace the cap? does this explain the engine running warm, any other suggestions?

I have a 1982/1983 vintage 470. I just replaced the points and condenser and rotor cap. She fires up with a nice rev, but within 1 to 2 seconds, she cuts out. Is this an ignition problem or is it a fuel problem?

Little facts on my 470:

Last year I got hit with the Ethenol / Phase separation. I have a new carb, and fuel pump.

I put 20 gallons a fresh fuel in my 25 gal tank about 2 weeks ago.

The ignition coil is about 15 years old, but I guess it works.

I've got friends looking at a ~70 foot ocean-going yacht. They would like to berth it someplace like Mertyl Beach. Anyone have any idea on the dock charges for something like that per month? And what about insurance? Any ideas?

Thanks!

I am learning about boats and plan to by one soon. Im thinking about a 17 ft open bow boat. It needs to hold 2 adults and 3 kids. We like to fish. And tubing looks like alot of fun. With these two needs in mind, is one better suited than the other? Is a v-hull for deeper water and the tri hull can go in shallow water?

We've found what we think is an awesome 87 Bayliner Ciera. Pristine condition, less than 500 hours, hi-dry kept for 17 years, all records. My husband is concerned b/c he's heard negative things about Bayliners and he's heard negative things about OMC outdrives (they're not made anymore, parts are hard to find and mechanics don't usually work on them).

We've also found a 1984 25' Formula Cabin Cruiser. This one was owned by a marine mechanic (we checked it out- it's true). He says he rebuilt the Chevy 350 3 or 4 years ago and has also rebuilt most of the Mercruiser outdrive. The boat started right up and seemed to run pretty solid. The cabin was not as polished as the Bayliner but would tidy up nicely w/ some work.

If you own or have owned either of these boats, or have experience as a mechanic or something, please weigh in here. Thanks much.

I recently had my Yamaha 40-HS boat motor rebuilt. I had it out in the water for about 20 minutes. It was running great then it became sporadic and began sputtering and misfiring with loss of power. I took it back to the mechanic who identified the problem as a stator (broke piece.) He then replaced the stator. I am now having the same problem after 20 minutes in the water. Please advise.

I've been fiberglassing over wooden hulls for years now with epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth. Now I want to try my hand at making a male mold to make a female mold to make practice pieces before I go on to my actual project. I've had people who do this for a living give me glimpses of how they did theirs but I have no on-hands experience or even witnessed a mold being made and used properly. I'm trying to find books that can help me make molds and use them but I haven't found any worth buying from online bookstores yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
