I'm in the process of a buying an older 23' Seacraft center console, so I'm considering not doing the two boat thing and getting rid of my V20. This boat has been in my family for about 20 years. It's an 85 V20 Cuddy w/ the original OMC Sea Drive bracketed engine. We don't have an hour meter...

Anyone have one laying around that they would be willing to sell?

I'm missing the inserts (vents/louvers?) for my cowling, omc sea drive 1.6L. There is one on each side, you can see they are in the motors in the pic below. My brother got ambitious and painted my cowling for me, but proceeded to lose the vents.. Any idea where to look?

I have an OMC Sea Drive 1.6L, from what I can tell this will work for my application. What do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350452388981&viewitem=#ht_15277wt_1159 Is there a reason this is so cheap? I had a starter for this motor rebuilt about 3...

I'm looking to either refinish my prop or pick up a new prop. I'm running an OMC Sea Drive 1.6L. My current prop is a 13x17 stainless and I'm just not happy with my cruising speed.. about 18MPH at 4500rpm, and WOT is about 24MPH at 5500RPM. Should I have this prop refinished (it does have a...

The last few times I used the boat, the primer bulb was nearly impossible to squeeze when first trying to start the boat. There was no fuel in the bulb so I know it wasn't already primed. I have it set up as: Tank > Primer Bulb > Water Separator > Inline Filter on Engine > Fuel Pump I removed...

My Hynautic steering started to leak last year. I just dealt with it for the remainder of the season. I could fill up the reservoir and pressurize the system, bleed it out properly, and it would last me a few weeks. I'd like to eliminate yet another hole in my stomach and just fix this thing...

So I would like to tackle the wiring on the boat this year. I just want everything to work correctly for once. As of now, half of the switches do not work, my tilt/trim gauge does not work, and I have too many (10+) leads going to the pos/neg battery posts. Any suggestions on where to start...

Someone at my brothers work place has a 2003 suzuki 225 with the digital guages, but no throttle controls, for sale for $700. Two of the pistons are shot he said. The engine has 90 hours. He's a mechanic and offered to do the work for a reasonable price (yet to be determined). Can anyone tell...

I'm going to check compression tomorrow to see if it's worth dumping more money into this motor this year. I can't seem to find a service manual or specs for this, what compression should this motor have?

I've got an 85 v20 cuddy I'm contemplating selling. It's got a 1.6 sea drive on it, so it's a great bracket candidate. The sea drive still gets me from A to B everytime with no problems, estimated hours around 400. Before me, the boat was rarely used and it sat covered in my grandfathers yard...

I'm looking at a Karavan single axle trailer.. it looks a little small for the v20 but wondering if i can get by with it. It's in perfect condition and has nothing wrong with it, although it is a 1991 and the guy is asking $650. The weight capacity is 2500 lbs.. and from what im reading the...

It's on a 85 omc sea drive 1.6 liter. I had the issue of crank no start in an earlier thread. I have spark and fuel getting through the vro to the carbs/solenoid. When the motor sits for a bit it won't start back up. It just cranks and won't fire over. BUT, if i open the red lever on the...

I need all the brains on this board to figure this one out. I've got an '85 OMC Sea Drive on my v20 that has been running like a champ. I put a lot of money into maintenance and other things this year, and she's been running good. The other day I went out to start her up and she would crank and...
