I just purchased a used jet ski from a guy in SC and I'm in NC. Well....he was supposed to mail me my paperwork 2 weeks ago and I haven't received any of it. He called me today and told me he sent it 2 weeks ago. I'm assumng it's lost. I would like to use this thing alittle before the summer...
Yesterday I was trolling around moving away from the dock when all of a sudden the motor felt like it had hit bottom (I thought ) and as acting right. I went on ahead and gave it gas and ran it at full throttle for about 15 minutes or so and everything was fine. Just as soon as I pull it back...
I'm getting ready to do a top engine rebuild for my 94 Sea Doo gtx. I decided to go with the whole cylinder exchange deal they have. Well, I ordered the parts and got a call from SBT to verify my order and she asked me if I was running a SBT crank. I told her no it was stock. She said that I...
I'm looking into purchasing a 95 GTX with a locked up motor. I can get the ski and trailer really cheap. My question was, won't I be ok with getting this and just buying a SBT rebuilt motor for it and be done with it? It's in really good shape and everything is there. The pump was rebuilt...
I was wondering you had a plug wire that got cut are you able to splice it back together? If so, how is the best way to go about it. My motor has the coils where the plug wires are sealed in the coil housing. I hate to replace a $40 coil for just a cut plug wire.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Jason
I have a 1973 Evinrude with a 1977 rebuilt powerhead on it. The coils on the motor are working just fine except the plug wires keep pulling out of the connector at the spark plug. I keep having to cut alittle bit off the wire to clean the wire up to be able to put the end back on...
I'm in the process of replacing the transom in my 85 17' Sunbird outboard. I've got the motor off and all the rotten wood out and the inner skind cut out. (I was unable to save that). My question is, if I go back with a wood transom how many layers or resin and mat should I use to glass the...
I've been on some High performance boat websites before and have heard of people saying they areate(sp) the pad for more speed. What does this mean and how is it done?<br /><br />Just curious!<br /><br />Thanks:<br />Jason
My question is...can you send off a 19" OMC SST Prop to a prop shop and they put more cup and add some rake to the blades? I trying to get alittle more bow lift out of my setup but didn't want to buy a new prop. The SSt I have now is in good shape. I just wanted to add some rake to the...
I have a 19" Omc SSt prop on my boat right now and I'm trying to find some more speed (4-5 mph) and had thought about trying the same pitch prop in a raker style. My question is....will a raker provide me with more bow lift and more spped like I'm looking or is it not much different than the...
I noticed my transducer flopping behind the boat yesterday where it had broken off the transom. I noticed it is broke there at the pivot point where you adjust the angle. Whats the best way to fix this? Can it be glued?<br /><br />Thanks:<br />Jason
Can you explain the process of making these old Evinrude v4 intakes into a plenum style intake? I have heard about a nessecary carb mod that has to be done also. Can you elabrate on it for me?<br /><br />Thanks:<br />Jason
My fuek gauge on my boat will not read any lower than 1/4 tank and no higher than 3/4 tank. If I fill the boat up till it runs out the filler neck, it only show 3/4 full. And when she starts to show 1/4 tank...you better look out cause you are about to start paddling. Is it the gauge casing...
I currently have a 1985 Sunbird open bow and a 115 evinrude on it. I'm currently running an OMC SST 19" prop on it now turning 5400 rpm's wot and at 47-48 mph. I've been told I needed more bow lift in order for me to gain anymore speed. I was told a Raker prop would be a good choice for me. I've...
I've heard of guys dry stacking (exhaust) an outbaord and was just curious as to what this does? What gains do you get from it and how is it done?<br /><br />Thanks:<br />Jason
