Hey all,
I was reading the archives I decided to pick up a magma grill for the boat. I remember reading in the threads that everyone talked about how it would be a good to have a thread on recipes that would work well on a boat. I have the basics down like burgers and brats.
What works...
I tried posting this to the water ski forum with no luck so I thought that I would try here.
Hey y'all,
I was given a 38" ski pylon main post by a buddy of mine it is 1.25" stainless steel tube with 3/8" wall thickness on it (it seems as heavy as a lead pipe). It is plenty stout and I need to...
What do you wear under a wet suit for spring skiing and knee boarding?
The reason I ask is that the north end of the big muddy is running about 60 degrees and dealing with daily temps in the upper 60's to low 70's right now. The kids are bugging the heck out of me to get out and we broke down...
Hey y'all,
I was given a 38" ski pylon main post by a buddy of mine it is 1.25" stainless steel tube with 3/8" wall thickness on it (it seems as heavy as a lead pipe). It is plenty stout and I need to find a way to mount this to my boat. The outboard protrudes 15" above the deck and when you...
I finally got my new motor hung on the boat. Conducted the following tests to make sure that I was not going to have any problems:
1. Ran at idle on muffs for 10 minutes to get engine up to operating temp no hot light.
2. Took boat and motor to the ramp and backed in to test in gear since I...
All,
I just picked up my new to me motor this week and will be installing it this weekend. I need a new manual for service procedure and maint work. Would you all recommend a factory manual or something on-line like a seloc manual?
Thanks In Advance

Hello all I am looking at picking up a new motor for my boat and getting ready to take a couple hour road trip to look at this motor tomarrow. By quickly looking at this it looks to me like it is a late 80's crossflow 115.
What I know about this motor now
It is a rude
It is a 115
any other...
I am looking at a E140TXCCM and was wondering if you could tell by the model number if it was a 20 or 25 inch shaft? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What is the general consensus as to the reliability and performance of the bubble-back 140's from the early 80's? I know that when they started prop rating them in in 85 they magically became 115hp motors. Any thought or comments?
Thanks
Jason
Hey all,
I got the boat out and went to de winterize it tonight and when it started up like it was but instead of the normal amount of smoke and winter slug coming out when it started there was a significant amount of what I would describe as thick black goo that has the consistency of oil and...
Just a quick question what is different in the performance characteristics of a 3 blade prop vs a 4 blade prop.
Is there any difference in top end or is just whole-shot?
We are in northern Illinois on the Mississippi where jug fishing is legal and was wondering if any of you all have any experience with Jugging for channel cats? was looking for some pointers on this.
Thanks
Earlier this season I had picked up a new to me 97 Lowe 19' deck boat with a 89 Johnson 88spl outboard from a friend of mine that had recently upgraded to new 26' sea ray. I knew when I bought this boat that it had been used but reasonably well maintained. This is our first boat and from reading...
