Hi Guys, I have a Suzuki oil injected 25hp 3cyl 2 stroke 1990 model that won't pump water. I got the motor about a month ago and was told it hadn't been started for a year or so. I fired it up and it ran ok but didn't pump water and got hot. I changed the water pump that looked a bit rough but...
Anyone know where i can find an imaculate sea-al super skua? Must be origional model. Anyone know what happened to the molds? Can i have one custom built?
Im looking for a 30hp engine and top end performance is the main requirement. I foolishly sold my 25hp suzuki and replace it with a 4ohp 2cyl tohatsu. The suzuki was just as quick. They don't make these 2 stroke suzuki engines anymore. Any ideas for a hi performance 30hp? im leaning towards a...
Does anyone know what the fastest hull for straight line speed would be. Im talking outboard power here. F1 boats have a tunnel hull but i alwayse thought that was more for just cornering speed rather than just straight line. Could it be an inflatable due to its light weight? I dont know the...
When i trim out my small outboard im experiencing a lot of propeller cavitation. Someone suggested getting the prop cupped. would this help? also would a biger prop help? Thanks.
A thundercat inflatable im looking at has had one side if the boat compleatly start peeling off. It has dropped right down and seems to only be supported at the bottom now. They say this can happen when left in the sun full of air. Im wondering if its possible to glue the boat back together. The...

Im wondering if anyone knows what happens in an outboards 1st (10 hr after run in) service. Just wan't to see if its something that could be done at home. Also is this whats required on second hand engine thats had 1 of its pistons replaced?
Does anyone know if theres any advantage of tohatsu 3cyl over the 2cyl. I would rather the light weight of the twin however i suspect i would get more power from the 3 cyl. Im concerned the twin may cease production soon as its been around for a while and seems outdated in comparison. Any...
Im looking at 2 motors at the moment and can"t decide which is the better buy. 1st is a 40hp tohatsu twin cylender 99 model $2,500. The other is a 40hp Mariner(yamaha)93 model $2,000. The Tohatsu has had piston replaced due to an overheating incident with a plastic bag but looks like new...
Im looking into various boat building materials and hope someone can help. For a hi performance outboard powered hull what would be the lightest? I think it would be kevlar or aluminium but which would be the lighter of these 2? How about the strength to weight ratio which is also important?
Im after a 40 hp tiller steer short shafr outboard. Im from Sydney, Australia. Motor needs<br />to be pretty light and in good condition. Idealy<br />a Mariner up to about 94 2 cyl twin carb. These<br />motors were built by yamaha so the equilivent Yammie would also be ok. A twin or even 3 cyl...
