Went to replace the starter on my omc 3,0 L and the inside starter hole had been previously drilled out and badly done! There was never a bolt in this hole for the 3 years I've had the boat, it was shimmed up on the outside with a washer. How it worked this long is beyond me. They drilled the hole out and inserted a helicoil. I removed the helicoil and tried tapping the hole out correctly but no go! I would guess the angle is approx 20 degrees. Other than pulling the motor out I'm not sure what to do next. And, if I pull this motor out I want to get rid of this under powered 4 cyl and go to a 4.3. Does anybody have any ideas on fixing the bolt hole problem or going bigger? It's a 1988 bayliner trophy 2160 hardtop, I'm pretty sure the 4.3 and 5.0 were options. Thanks in advance.

Do they take them out every year? This is the first time I haven't seen them. This is an observation from land, boat hasn't made it there yet.

We'll, I do know that the Plant is starting to relax some of the knee jerk reactions after 911, and was wondering if the buoys were one of them? Have not seen the coast guard out here at all

Anybody know anything about the buoys being pulled, or did they sink? I have seen a few boats within the zone. Just wondering.

Looking to get some trolling rods, 8'6" or 8' buy would like m/lt action. I have 8'6" Okuma M action for kings, but too stiff for Browns. What do you guys think? And where can I get them? Thanks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
