I was just wondering, if I ever wanted to get a boat and start sailing around the world with, crossing vast oceans and stuff, what would the best type of boat be? Something not greatly complicating, and does not require a large crew. Something that can be managed by less than 5 people for example, and yet has space for more.
Anyway, thanks :)

My sterndrive Mercruiser is hard to start when cold. It turns over Ok but is reluctant to fire. On many occasions I end up with a dead battery.

Can anyone help me come up with clever names or ways to name my boat that I just bought? I want something clever, catchy and original. ANy help would be very appreciated. It is a Bayliner, other than that any name is fair game.

Has 4 wires green light green purple and brown from the throttle. Green light green lead to a plug below the solenoid a blue from the hydralics go there to. The brown and purple are disconnected brown looks to be a ground dont no where they go. Theres two solenoids on motor on the opposite side of the plug in theres a green comes out and connects to the solenoid above the light green comes out red to the same solenoid and another red from that one that goes to the other solenoid and the blue goes to the other solenoid. Above the plug from that solenoid theres a big green where that connects from there to inside the tilt motor and another from inside motor to other solenoid. theres a black wire that connects one solenoid to other. A black connecting from top of motor to the other solenoid and the pos/neg from that solenoid to battery. Would the purple and brown be the power for the up and down theres also four other wires b.g.r.w the r.w. are connected to the battery. maybe clean conn.

I want to use a electronic 3 volt device from a 12 volt car battery so it will run much longer. I am going to install a air bubbler in my boat (the portable type with a few feet of hose and a air stone on the end to be placed in any minnow bucket and keep them alive). They sell a 12 volt aerator for $40 but I am trying to go with the cheaper $10 style so I can just pitch it when it no longer works and replace it without taking a $40 loss each time. Where do I buy one?

Its a 1975 40hp Evinrude outboard. I have a 89 15hp evinrude and i can see it circulating water and coming out through the spout on the bottom on the motor casing. However the 75 doesn't have the same spout and im not sure where it comes out or if it is even supouse to. I have experiance with newer motors but i haven't dealt with older motors. Any imput would be apperciated.

I bought a boat with twin 470 series engines and one of them needs some crank work done. Does anyone know of any automotive parts such as bearings and timing gear that interchange with this engine? The engine uses a ford 460 head, piston, and rod, but the main bearings are not 460. Does anything interchange or an I going to have to deal with the leeches at the marine shops? Thanks

After a few years of motor boating, I've decided that I now have the patience to live off the winds for a while and get into bluewater sailing. What sailing magazine has the best articles and information on long distance cruising, particularly in the 30 to 40 foot (10-14 meter) category of sailboats?

The engine will not start unless I pull the coil wire off and hold it about a quarter inch from the distributor cap. When it starts, it dies as soon as I plug the wire back on. It will run as long as I hold the wire about a 1/4" away. Can anyone give me some help with this?
