    Ride along on 90 boat!

    Thanks Terry. I live in Montreal. I have a cottage about an hour north of the city on Barron lake. Lots of water skiing, tubing in the summer so mostly I run the boats October on until the lake freezes. This year it froze early. Last year it went till Christmas. Spring can be good too, just...

    Ride along on 90 boat!

    Thanks guys! Here's a forward view. https://youtu.be/zPrjX25TFI8 The way the engine quit I thought I cooked a piston, just the carb arm falling off. From the shore it sounded like a overheat sag. The water was near freezing and I really had to restrict the flow. You can see the ice...

    I've got an x440 on it now. Have a 220 also to try. Thanks for the suggestions.

    OS XM outboard piston fit

    Thank you. Now that I think of it, most engines seem to loose the fit with the head torqued. I was wondering why this one is the opposite.

    OS XM outboard piston fit

    Hi all, My engine is new with maybe three tanks through it. The pinch to me is right where it needs to be for a new engine. First start is always good and it runs great. Second start the piston will give me a hard time locking up at the top....I mean real tight. Removing the head will free up...
