Just as the title says I went to start the engine for the first time this season. I only get a click when hitting the trim/tilt switch and there are no alarm sounds when turning the key to run. I do hear a slight buzzing/humming soud when in run but thats it. The motor will turn over but I...

I'm attempting to replace the head gaskets on a 96 yamaha 250. I have 2 head bolts that don't want to come out. I assume if I break them off in the block I'm looking at pulling the powerhead and having it drilled out by a machine shop. Most likely I'll run into more broken bolts trying to do...

Well I made it to Tice's and back today but had some issues coming back. The first thing I noticed was that it took forever to get the primer bulb hard. In fact I almost gave up. Then as I was running it was bogging down especially under 3500 rpm's. I gave it more gas and it seemed to run well...

I finally got the boat in the water yesterday and it ran great. 96 Yamaha 250. When I got back to the marina I noticed an oil slick behind the boat. I pulled the coweling off and found that the engine's main oil tank was overflowing. I did a little web research last night and it seemed that...

Maybe a dumb question but its a new motor to me. 1996 yamaha 250 carbed. Whats the procedure for setting the choke? My old merc was done by pushing in the key but that doesn't seem to be the case on the yamaha. There is a small switch below the ignition key. I'm guessing that may be it but was...

Hello everyone its been a while. Ive been busting my hump getting my 248 sportsman ready and today I just noticed there is some gear lube leaking from my prop shaft. Is this something my marina can do or is this a dealer only repair? Any guess on the cost? Its a 96 250 hp. Hope to see all the NJ...

I'm hoping you guys can help me decide whether or not to scrap the engine on my new boat. Its an 85 yamaha 225 with the typical corrosion issues. If the compression test is bad then its gone but if its ok then the choice gets tougher. The lower unit has a pretty big crack which after lots of...

My v20 is for sale. I am however staying in the wellcraft family with the purchase of an 85 248 Sportsman with a yamah 225. She wont be ready for the water until next spring so I'm hoping to sell the v20 after the season ends. I will be sticking around the site however. Maybe we can rename it...

F/S 1978 Wellcraft v20. Ive owned this boat for the last 3 years and have really enjoyed it. My family wanted a bigger boat with a cabin so I just purchased another 25 ft wellcraft. Ive put a lot of money and work into this boat over the last few years. Motor- 1991 Mercury 135 hp has new...

I just put the boat in the water today. It was idling fine in the driveway and was idling good at the ramp but then it just died. When I restarted it it kept on surging up and down. It would smooth out for a few seconds and then start surging again. I took it home and went through the carbs but...

Like the title says I have water coming out of the top exhaust port on my 91 merc 135. This never happened before so I assume i screwed something up when replacing the impellar or t-stats. What do you guys think I should look for first? Thanks

Just as the title says I have 4 extra gallons of arjay pourable transom compound plus hardener. It runs about $115 for the 5 gallon pail plus shipping$$$. I dont want to bother shipping this so local pickup only in Toms River NJ. $50 for the 4 gallons 732-341-1977 brad

After repairing the transom I decided to fix the gel coat cracks in the splashwell. Needless to say my gelcoat color matching skills are very poor and its not lookin too pretty. Can anyone suggest a good paint for the splashwell. I have some petit topside paint but it says not for use below the...

Well its pretty much a done deal. I started the transom rebuild about 2 weeks ago and just finished my last pour tonight. Thanks to this very informative post by Mauryc I had the courage to give this a try. http://www.wellcraftv20.com/community/showthread.php?t=8830 My 78 only used 2 5 gallon...
