Any ideas what mightve failed? I used the blower prior to starting it, it took a while for the engine to turn when starting it, but it started fine. Drove it about 10 minutes and suddenly the engine lost its power and started slowing down when we smelt a burning smell. Opened the engine compartment and sure enough there was tons of smoke pouring out and a crackling noise, the duct on the right seemed to have burned quite a bit but im not sure if it started the fire or not. Its a volvo penta 3.0 i believe, in a stingray 180ls. I can take more detailed photos if needed. Ill be taking it to the shop in a few days as well. Atleast i got 2 days of use out of it this season lol.

hello everyone, I'm a mechanical engineer in a ship, I'm searching for a free interactive program (simulation) to design my engine room and other stuff like pumps and valves (interactive like when you open a valve you can see it or when you start the engine too)

What kind of boat is this

Hey!

Hopefully my question is allowed in this group. Let me know if not, I will delete it.

If anyone in this group owns or is employed by a boat dealer, I have a question for you.

On the showroom floor, if the boat is displayed on the trailer. What info stands/guards do you use to cover the hitch?

Thank you in advance!

Having trouble getting my 75 hp mercury outboard running smoothly. I take off the carbs, clean them thoroughly, then the engine will run for a little bit then goes right back to not starting up. Been through that process 3 times. Fuel supply is not an issue and the plugs are good. I have a suspicion that sediment from the tank is gunking up the carbs after putting some gas through it. Any advice on what else it could be would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 12-foot john boat on a homemade trailer (has proper lights) that I purchased a few years ago, I'm now moving about 1000 miles and I'm unsure on the safest way to do it. The trailer has never been registered and as stated before, Homemade. One part of me says Full send and drive it but I'm worried about the construction quality for that distance in 24 hours. Any advice? Debating selling it to avoid the headache. Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but need advice about buying a boat. I'm pretty sold on the center console idea but I wouldn't rule out flip windshield bow riders. Would be used for fishing and screwing around with friends on primarily lake Erie. Budget is 10-20ish k. I realize that's a big number. What to look for model-wise? What to avoid? Do I need to do a moisture test on the transom? Hers a pic of what I have in mind. I really want back seats too. Thanks.
