Are we talking about the handle you use to raise the engine to lock into shallow drive? Please tell me some one else is having the same issue I’m experiencing.

How did it break, just curious. I just bought one and was wondered what were you doing when it failed ?

My bad, it wasn’t meant in that way. I thought I was clear, my apologize to you.

Now that is about as far apart as we can get, probably shouldn’t move to get a discount. We have a state government that is more involved in helping the unemployed, homeless, LGBTQIA’s+ Than giving something to those who have already worked their whole lives, Fought in a war and paid their...

I live in Oregon and they want us to believe that they are on our side and understand our plight with raising lic fees and boat fees. After reading everyone’s comments I don’t believe they do or are aware. If I could understand the rules and laws of my state I’d explain them to you.. I’ve been...

Looking for a power trim for my 2019 25hp merc Should have added that when I first bought it. Any way if someone knows of one floating around. This motor weighs a ton when you want to go into shallow mode. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Chuck

I am getting my 1979 Starcraft 14' with windshield ready for an overnighter at the sandblasters and I can't seem to figure out how to remove the steering wheel and assembly. I don't want to destroy or damage the original cable mechanism, I am sure I am missing something simple. The wheel its...

I am going to up grade my windshield to a modern walk through and was wondering how many of you found someone to manufacture one, I live on the west coast and any help would be greatly appreciated... this is what is on the craft now... Chuck

Hello, I have been missing for quite some time, had an accident and the recovery time seemed to take forever. I was about to start the project when I took a fall, well now I am getting ready to start again. I picked up a 1979 Starcraft, 14 footer with windshield that has seen better days...

Thanks everyone, I did double check with a local repairman.... 50:1 is what he says the manufacture recommends. He also expressed to me that particular year was a banner year. I wasn't going to keep the motor at first but now it will do until my bank account is a bit fatter.... again thanks to...

The windshield is in very good shape, needs some elbow grease to brighten it up but no cracks... The frame has no defects at all, I just don't want to cause any while removing it. Thanks for the advice, I will use it well. Chuck

I picked up a '79 Starcraft last summer and am getting ready for the tare down and was hoping someone else has gone through this before. The best way to remove the original windshield, and is it possible to get a new one or a modern version with a center walkway. I have picked up a new...

My 1986 Suzuki 30hp says 100:1 on the engine hood but the fellow at the dealership recommends 50:1. Would it be prudent to split the difference or go with the dealer? Chuck

1986, originally thought to be a 1979... The Marina repair shop believes it was one of the best years for the 2 strokes. Sure would like to replace it with a four stroke, my wallet is crying about the sonar I just picked up..... Oh the money I spend to release these fish.....funny stuff. Chuck

Thanks for the welcome and the help, you have to love a site that teaches and helps its membership... I believe that is what the internet was originally set up to accomplish. Chuck
