Engines & engine woes / Re: Spark plug testing

yep but it might get exciting. always had better luck finding the dead cylinder that way by turning the idle down really low first. Another option is to let the engine warm up, then squirt water on the exhaust really close to the head, a dead cylinder won't be near as hot the water wont' sizzle and smoke on that exhaust pipe.

Is the trim motor still making noise at all? Or just silence? I've had a few outboards in the past that didn't like being trimmed too far up, would have to loosen the hydraulic pressure release screw, push the engine down, and everything worked fine again as long as I didn't trim up to past around 75% up. But could always hear the motor working.
If you've got silence, I got nothin.

Thank you for the idea. follow up: The fuse housing that was attached to the first pig tail had disintegrated. After cutting out the old fuse housing and installing a new one she's up and running again, great weekend. now the trim is frozen at about 75%up.

After many hours working on the boat it has become clear to me that I have run out of time with two children coming soon. Here is the FB post. Feel free to message me with any questions (fb might be easier for messages). All the stringers have been repaired and it has a new coosa transom. I have all the other parts and pieces and lots of extra glass. 90 hp 4 stroke Honda runs great.  Thanks for looking.

Aquasport Discussion / 1979 222ccp - transom pour method possible?
« Last post by Greenlaker75 on August 30, 2025, 03:16:12 PM »
Hi everyone!

I’m really struggling to plan a transom rebuild on a 1979 222 ccp due to the splash well and not having access to rebuild from the inside.

Can I do the pour method and just pour the section of the transom where I can get into
It from the top. See attached photo, area marked up in pink.

Or am I stuck with building a new transom by cutting the outside transom
Skin?

Miscellaneous Aquasport Hull Info / Re: Need Help Identifying What I Just Bought
« Last post by Capt. Bob on August 29, 2025, 08:10:59 AM »
1990 is somewhat of a unique model year. We don’t have a lot of info and no catalog.

Give me a little time and I’ll dig up what I know (more like a guess).

Aquasport Discussion / Re: 1980s Aquasport - Help with ID of model

The HIN decoder shows it to be a 1980 year model built in January.
ASP is an old Aquasport code but the HIN shows it to be Alexandria Seaport Foundation.
That stated, it’s a Hialeah hull but for whatever reason in its lifetime, Alexandria acquired it, maybe doing some type of repair/rebuild. Maybe an auction buy. Who knows.

In the end, the hull was make in Fla. and in searching the Forum I found 2 members with this model year.

Good luck.

I had a similar situation... I tested everything and finally realized that the capt chair had bumped the throttle past neutral. Took me a little while to figure it out.
The missing the neutral safety switch will shame you any time it wants.
