I did start up a question in the "motor" section, but I think this has turned out to be an electrical issue.. bad connections or something.. #-o Might be cleaning connections today..just have to find all of them :shock: ~~Mitch

I think you are doing great work here! love the boat.

First off.. You guys are hilarious. Heres whats been happening with the electric start... cleaned battery terminals and motors connection at the battery.. -thought this could be the problem.. Nothing was fixed by this. -Then upon the advice of my dad, who was helping my over the phone...

Multi Meters, those can purchased at an auto parts store? what are some key points to be checking with that device? Yes the Kill switch was attached! I even tried jiggling it around while trying to turn on the motor to see if the motor would try and start cranking over... Thanks for the help...

Yes It was certainly "locked" in between forward and reverse... Im still at a loss..

Hey Everyone.. need a little help here, as I am largely inexperienced in this field. My electric start on my Yamaha 30hp 2-stroke wont work.. and I've ruled out the battery. It doesn't make any cranking noises and there is no evidence that toggling the key has any affect on the motor... This...

Update guys, I have an important question. Today I got my own "Motor Flusher" and when hooked up.. my motor would NOT react to anything with the electric start... but as soon as I pulled the rope start backup.. it started right away... ran very well and smooth. turned the choke off and it even...

Sorry mbweimar..hate to ask in this thread.. but how does one go about plumbing the Bilge pump? like drilling through the aluminum boat and sealing the hole..Also what was your materials list? if this is not a good place to ask, delete this if you can..My apologies! [-o< ~~Mitch

This. Yes... I would love to do that. My friends dad is a boat dealer.. and we talked a lot about an alumacraft MV 1648.. I dont think he was happy when I went used. . . . :?

Hey Everyone, :) I will have to look into changing sparkplugs.. or at least carrying an extra.. Yes it is exactly a 30hp 3cylinder! I got quite lucky and it is super clean. The engine still has the premix-y thing.. :P in the engine compartment, ( I have been told low hours on the engine...

Thanks for the great replies so far! I'm going to dig into those links, :D I'm not sure how it is in the States, but in Canada its mandatory to take the course to get a "Boat License" ~~I've taken this! I just still feel very uneasy! In other news.. I did catch some decent walleye from shore...

Hi everyone, this is my first time really into boating. :shock: Im unsure of even how to begin.. I wish we had a "Boating Basics" page.. I have my (new to me) boat. the motor (2-stroke) starts and runs. Not sure the age of motor (1990's?). but has last seasons fuel in the tank, or perhaps...

Hi guys here is my new (to me) boat! a 14' 1996 Lund.. thats about all I know. Im very new to this but.. Have read lots of info on this site! Its pretty much complete except for a new deep cycle battery for the trolling motor, and I may get an onboard charger! this winter I'd like to make it a...

Hi everyone..! My name is Mitch, and I recently purchased my first boat. 14' Lund V hull.. from 1996 I believe. It has a Yamaha 30 hp 3 cylinder, 2-Stroke. =D> I've been following along on this website for awhile now... and now that I have a boat.. why not join! :) It has a side console.. and...
