What’s the weight of a 140hp Suzuki?
Or what’s the lightest engine in 100 to 150hp.
I’d take a 360lb 125hp engine over a 480lb 150hp. You have to check the different brands.
That said some boats need max hp.
I think the ff come on sale in the spring when new models come out.
I paid regular price for a Bimini top and a set of cannon tracks for my rod holders.
I can’t find any good deals.
My boat engine didn’t have a tilt pin so I was looking online to find one. I was pondering what one to get and I see they are about $30.
I decided to go for a walk up the road and I spot a piece of SS rod. I put it in the hole and it’s a perfect dia. And already has a bend on one end. I...
What was it like when you had it on the water?

All I can tell you is I’ve run a three blade aluminum 11 pitch vs a SS 11 pitch and the SS was way better. (3mph top speed and hole shot).

My oil injection system seams to be very good. Very little smoke. Quick silver oil.
Part of the reason I have a side console boat is so the windshield and Bimini doesn’t trap exhaust. My tank is about 12” tall and holds 5.3l. I did a 30mile trip and I used about 1.25” of oil. A big day of...
My 115 mariner has a connection block where the high temp wire and low oil wires (reads low oil only not flow)are connected together (lower starboard on engine block) and then a wire into the wiring harness up to the dash.
My alarm was going off steady so I disconnected the low oil warning and...
I was waiting in the water at the ramp for the two guys ahead of me to pull their jet ski. The owner told his friend to back the trailer down. Well he got everything straight and started backing. He was using his mirrors and couldn’t see the trailer so everything was good. A few feet later...
The sender isn’t connected to the bolt with the slot in it. Possibly the wrong sender. The gauge moves when i turn the sender by hand.
I’ll modify the sender to allow it to stick out farther and into the slot in the bolt.
