If that trim goes out and an aftermarket one be added? I am unfamiliar with tilt/trim on boats. My last one was tiller steer

I have attached what was in the ad Second owner. Neighbor was the first owner. New batteries last year

I am looking to pick up another boat as I had to sell mine prior to moving. I found a 1982 Tournament TX second owner always covered (looks like it) everything works Here is the description 1982 tracker 17’ semi V. Always garage kept, floors in good shape, seats have no rips, live wells lights...

Thanks a lot I think it is fine now just a lot of adjustment to figure out.

Thanks I am trying to get the carb back off. I don’t know how I managed to get it off before but I may have to blast it out. I just did a carb rebuild so I may have messed the float up. I reused the one that was in there. Thanks again

My 6hp SeaKing is spitting gas out of the port next to air/fuel screw. Link is attached to show what I am talking about. Thanks for any ideas on what is causing this [/url]https://youtu.be/nmCc0NFkA6w[/url]

Head gasket replaced with no real difference. I am chasing the air/fuel issue now working on the correct initial setting for the carb and idle adjustment screw. I just reinstalled the rebuilt carb and will work on adjustment tomorrow. Thanks for the input

Thanks for the response. The first YouTube video has sound to it. As you said it is not a hard job. Head is off and I have the new gasket. It will take longer to remove the old gasket than it did to pull the head. Thanks again

According to my paperwork it should be a 50:1 ratio. I am going to replace the head gasket but do you think at 50:1 that is reasonable smoke? My 96 Mariner 25 hardly smokes at all and that is why I am concerned. Maybe I am chasing my tail. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The back yard looked like I was spraying for mosquitoes if you know what I mean. I feel that is a bit much. If you were in the boat and the wind shifted you would be in trouble. I posted a video link below

I am still working on the SeaKing 6hp and the excessive white smoke issue. I ordered a head gasket and removed the head. I am fairly certain that This is the first time it has been off since it was built. How do I get the actual gasket off? I don’t want to gouge the head bit it is on there good...
