Thanks for your help. Does the solenoid have to be marine or can I get it from NAPA?
I know I could call Anthony at Supra or Vince at SKIDIM, but any advice on how to replace the solenoid would be...
I replaced my starter with a new one about three years ago. Yesterday my son called me from the boat "Dad it won't start, what do I do?" That causes me great pain since on top of being a mechanical...
I will attempt to pull the traps this week, any pointer on tools to use? How hard is it to get the traps off? I will use the slow cure 3m sealant.
Like Salty says, go for the simple fix;
Some times the small rubber o-ring in the linkage fails. Mine did, and I filled the bilge with fluid just from a small nick. It's easy to disconnect the...
I have an 87 Sunsport. Over the years I've experienced the inevitable floor rot, transom rot,stringer rot. This year it's water leaking out where the exhaust hits the stringer on the driver side...
I have an 87 Supra Sunsport with the original 351 Ford and a New Holley Carb replaced five years ago. Every year I change the impeller, belts, fuel filter, oil and filter, and plugs. The boat has...
A few years back Anthony at Supra could get the "wave" decals that were close but not exact copies of the originals. You can search the posts to see how others got custom vinyl shops to duplicate the...
I have an 87 Supra sunsport. I replaced the velvet drive three years ago, and last summer I found transmission oil in the bilge. I’ve had to put in two pints of transmission oil already. I could...
Thanks Brian,
Yes it is leaking into the bilge, How do I identify the front seal. Are there any other tests that would be helpful?
I have an 87 Sunsport with a 1:1 Velvet drive. The entire transmission and damper plate were both replaced with new parts from skidim two years ago. My son and his teenage friend drive the boat hard,...
Problems with the warning lights and alarm are pretty common. I've seen post before on this board. Mine sometimes goes on after a long hard rain, which would suggest a short. yours sounds like a...
Some things are easy to get, (cup holders, dash switches,) some are not (airguide, matching vinyl)

Congratulation, that's a beautiful boat. You'll have to post some pictures in the pride and joy section. You'll probably get a reply from Salty and others so I'll be brief.
There is an FAQ section...
A hair dryer works fine, a heat gun is better but a little more dangerous. Acetone will remove any stubborn parts. Post some pictures when you're done
Turning over nicely. I have a new high amp battery, new belts and a good alternator. One strange thing though, it seems that after a long crank that letting off on the key lets it start, as if the...
For the last couple of years my '87 351 has started and run flawlessly. Last week I puttered at about 400 rpm for about 4hrs while my son did a 9 mile endurance swim. Each time I stopped the motor to...
Did you look in the " pride and joy" section? There's a new post about painting a '92 Mariah and a previous one about compounding and removing stripes on an 87 Saltaire.
I had some damage to my...
What octane do you use?
Nice boat. Looks like the previous owner took good care of her. Did you add the Bimini? Is it on rails and can you fold it back for storage?
Brian,
How about posting the engine alignment instructions on this site?

Keep us posted,
Regular rubbing compound? I've gotten into trouble using 600 grit emory paper on small scratches, with thinning of the gelcoat. Are you going to replace the stripes?. I think the...
Any pictures of the 86 Sunsport?
Are there any tricks to removing the rear seat? My guess is that the comp and other older models are about the same.
Same thing with my 87 Sunsport, Only it does so at rest. I think the foam under the captains chair is saturated. I also use my backup battery for trim!
