Re: Power Pack on 93 Johnson GT 200
That makes sense. I had to limp it back to the dock with it running like crap and when I shut the motor off I had a pretty large oil slick coming from the motor. So let me take this a little further, that means that the carb wasn't pushing gas into one of the...
I am pretty sure I have lost a power pack. I am going to check it tonight to make sure. First going to see if I have spark at all 6 plugs. I have also been told that you need to check the coils coming from the power pack. They should have ~250volts. Judging from everything I have read on here...
I am in the process of doing some motor work. I was going to get it done at a marine shop but low and behold I own a dodge and wheel bearings are pretty important... side note I would like to find the guy that designed the front end of dodge trucks and have a little chat with him... Anyway, the...
I just bought a 74 johnny 25 horse for my duck boat. It purrs like a kitten but seems to lack a little go-go at WOT. I have a feeling it is cavitating a little bit and loosing power that way. I am not sure what the pitch of the prop is but it is a little beat up. Will a hydrofoil help cavitation...
Boone County Water Rescue has been waiting a long time for our new vessel. We just completed the sea trials and there is no doubt this thing is a beast!
Boat was custom made by Munson Boats in Washington State
I have a 87 Monarch Fish and Ski. It ran fine all last year and at the beggining of this year. I took it out a few times and everything was fine. Then, like an idiot, I left the key on one time and let the batterys drain. I went back plugged in the three bank charger until it said good to go. I...
Re: i/o vs outboard pros and cons ??
I disagree. Outboards are more efficient when it comes to actual HP to the prop. Plus outboards weigh less so they have that going for them. A 19' boat with a 250 etec on the back will go faster than a 250 I/O (if there was such a thing). On the other side...
Re: Boat for rent, would you do it?
my answer would be well sure! Its that really nice 76 starcraft layin in the back yard... the paddles are in the shed. no need to pay me anything just make sure you sink it and don't bring it back :D
Re: Need Help Identifying Hydro Sports boat
Look fish a lot like a fish and ski model. I have a monark fish and ski that looks similar, here is a google pic of a hydra sport fish and ski
I have a 19' fish and ski that I bought a could months ago. When I bought the boat it didn't take on a drop of water. However all of a sudden it started taking on water. Now within an hour of getting on the water my auto bilge turns on and pumps for about 5 seconds. After that it does it...
Re: Total newbie ?'s
Although they are not the greatest at choppy water prince craft makes some really nice deck boats now. Also if looking for used look for Grumman, Starcraft, and a few other tinny deck boats. We have one for water rescue and they are very stable and spacious but can still...
Impeller is older but still spitting water out of the "tell tale" like its new
I have a "93 johnson gt 200. I really don't know when the last time the water pump was changed because i just bought the boat. I don't want to take the risk of blowing the motor so I want to change the impeller, but...
Re: Monarch bass boats
I have a 87 monark fish and ski (glass) it is extremely stable and smooth on plane. I have a 200 hp O/B and it absolutly flies across the water. As with all things if it is glass make sure you go through it EXTREMELY well. Mine only had 160 hours on it and had been garage...
Re: Favorite boating moment
This is probably mine. Me and the girlfriend were out on the Ohio having a bit of a tiff about trimming and the proper way to take a barge wake when we turned around and saw this... the bickering ended immediatly.
Another fond memory was when I was young we used...
Thought I would share a funny story from this past weekend. A couple of friends of mine we're boating on Lake Cumberland on saturday having a great time... until johnny law pulled them over and arrested the boat owner for BUI :facepalm: he didn't blow even half of the legal limit but because...
