It is fuel injected. I bought a spark tester to try, and will have another compression test done. Also got another opinion that said to check back pressure from the exhaust. Keep the ideas coming. I appreciate it.

Dry.

Looks like my only 2 options are a new engine or new boat. Can you fix Bayliners? Maybe I should switch brands.

Had the compression checked. Mechanic said possible head gasket? The heads were just done at the end of last year? How do these numbers look? 160 185 155 190 150 165 170 160

Dropped the boat in the water and noticed a slight vibration, not a skip, at 1300 RPMs while underway. Got to the dock and one at a time put each motor in neutral and increased RPMs to 1300 and the vibration (felt through the floor) only existed from the port motor. Only changes in the spring...

What would be a good asking price? Should I sell them separately?

Noise restrictions were not an issue. It had an on and off switch, and I only used them once in a while during the day. It was more like an assumption because he saw a very small sign of water in one of the cylinders. So he assumed it came from the exhaust.

I had the original Corsa Exhaust that came from the factory. Last season a mechanic recommended that I remove them because of possible water intrusion into the cylinders. So, they were removed. What should I do with them? Is there any value to them? I have 2 complete sets with wiring...

I would go with the twins on this boat. Since it is a heavy boat, and it squats so low in the water, it requires some initial power to get her up and on plane.

I have the boat at the dealer for the coupler, and asked them to look into the rpm issue I have been having (port won't go over 3500 rpms). They did a compression check and found one cylinder low. When the opened the head, they noticed water in that cylinder only. The enging itself is fine. He...

They are going to pull the other drive to see how it looks.

Got the bad news...the port coupler is shot. I brought the boat to Russo's because I wanted it done right. They pulled the drive and showed me, it was totally stripped. They are quoting me 2 days labor (+/- $1800) to remove the motor and another $500 or so for the coupler. The motors are...

I'm ready to throw in the towel! Injector was replaced, and the mechanic broke another while trying to get the rail back on. Had to buy another one, got it installed, and still no improvement. Today he did a fuel pressure check and on that motor got 32 psi, the starboard motor was 38 psi...

Great place to visit. The view from the top of the island at sunset is amazing.

I've got the SR50 with my C80 and love it. I suspend the service in November and reactivate in April (you're allowed to suspend service for 6 months). It's best for seeing fast moving storms approaching. Just today at the dock, I saw a small cell heading toward us and had time to cover up and...

Ater installing a new ignition sensor, we ran the boat and there was no change. However, the mechanic noticed that the plastic connector on one of the injectors was broken. He disabled the injector and we ran it again. The boat ran the same. Hopefully, this has been the problem all...

What size/pitch props did you go with? How did it change things? Do you get on plane faster? Top speed? Did the rpm to mph change?

The orignal stainless props that came with the Bravo I's

Did a conmplete tune-up at the end of the season....new plugs, rotors, coils, etc. Didn't change anything. Motors run smooth. We noticed while on the trailer that the port outdrive was not going all of the way down. There was about a 6 inch difference than the starboard, and we were...

The problem started at the very end of last season. At spring start up , the mechanic focused on the outdrive. Since splashing, he has hooked up a computer and it showed the throttle position sensor was bad. I replaced it, but it has not helped. The trouble is it's costing me $$ every time we...
