Hey guys. I'm having an issue with my 130HP 2-stroke. After warm up and running wide open, if I slow to minimum throttle in gear, I get a coughing, spitting, sputtering, whatever you want to call it. Sometimes the motor will even stall out from it. It's almost like it's misfiring but I'm...
Guys,
Well I bought a Lowrance 520c ... just waiting on it to arrive. Now I need to buy some cartography for the unit. Navionics sells Classic, Silver, Gold, and Platinum cards. I know that the unit I purchased will not take Platinum so I am probably going to go with Gold. I also see that...
Hey guys. Does anyone know the difference between the Lowrance 332c and the Lowrance 520c? Can't quite figure this one out but there is a price difference. Thanks for any advice you can give.

I'm hoping you guys can help. I have a Honda outboard that has been performing fairly well but today I took it out and it wouldn't go over 3000 RPM while in gear. In neutral it has full RPM range. I was getting a steady stream of water from the engine so I don't THINK it's an overheating...
Guys,<br /><br />There are 3 grease fittings on my 2000 Johnson 130HP outboard ... 2 on the pivot for tilt/trim and one on the pivot for steering. What kind of grease should I use here? Also, are there any other points I should grease such as the steering arm, etc? Any other grease fittings I...
Hey guys. Having some trouble with my 2000 130HP 2-stroke Johnson. She runs fine wide open but after getting hot, if I slow to idle and after a couple of minutes running idle, she'll miss, cough ... wait 30 seconds or so ... miss, cough ... and so on ... and sometimes will stall out. I'm...
I'm new to outboards and am having a problem with my Johnson motor. When attempting a cold start, I pump the primer bulb (pressurizing the fuel line) but can't get the motor to start. Then, if I remove the engine cover and bleed the line (there's a valve on the fuel pump), while pumping the...
Does anyone know how far back your lures should be when trolling? I have a 3.25:1 levelwind reel and was told that 10 "back-and-forths" of the levelwind was enough. Seems a bit short. Also, what is the best speed for trolling? I heard around 4 mph. Thoughts? Thanks guys.
New to the board here. Does anyone know why the Stripers come into the Chesapeake Bay during fall migration? I understand they come to the Chesapeake in the spring to spawn ... but why do they instinctually come in the fall? Thanks!
Hey guys. New to the board here. I just acquired a boat a few months ago with a 2000 2-stroke Johnson 130HP Outboard. Motor has been running great until this past weekend. Now, the motor "coughs" at idle speed and occassionally stalls. Runs like a bat outta hell when wide open. Changed the...
