Re: 1971 16-footer 110-HP OMC V4

I might have an opportunity to trade for a 1991 Yamaha 90hp. Who would be the winner in that?

Re: 1971 16-footer 110-HP OMC V4

if the boat pulls to starboard, move the trailing edge of the trim tab to starboard.


Thanks, that's what I needed to know.

Regarding new steering: Will pneumatic be worth the money and is it possible?

Regarding replacing the tilt tube: Can this be done without special tools?

Re: 1971 16-footer 110-HP OMC V4

I disconnected the [drag link to the engine tiller] and the steering is far from easy to turn either way. I removed the rod that extends to turn the engine and put some grease inside the housing. That didn't seem to make a difference. Regarding the [technique for adjusting the outboard engine steeri...

Re: 1971 16-footer 110-HP OMC V4

A6: It is a cable steering system. A7: It does say 110 on the cover. I was told when I bought it that it was a 1986. I don't have a title for it though. There does seem to be a 1986 110 in the NADA guides. Regarding it being customized: Originally the console looked like this one - https://www.power...

Re: 1971 16

Thank for the reply Jim.

I have two more questions:

Q5: Should I take it off?

1971 16-footer 110-HP OMC V4

I have a 1971 16-footer which may be a NAUSET 16. It came with a 1986 Johnson 110. I feel like 110-HP is to much power and the engine too much weight for this boat. The boat is difficult to turn to port (I think). boat - 500px.jpg I'm not concerned about boat speed. I would like to someday pull my k...
