Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Weather was a challenge but I managed to compression test this morning before I left for work. Working from port side down and then starboard side down below are the readings:
P1 - 94 S1 - 93
P2 - 93 S2 - 91
P3 - 92 S3 - 90
Fair enough. I will source out a manual for my motor. I was just using the resources I had available to me to find options to explore. Thank you for clarifying the neutral safety switch and for also confirming that my model doesn't have a shift interrupter switch.
Hi racerone,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. That is very helpful to know that my model doesn't have the S.L.O.W mode. I will remove that from my various investigations going forward. I will check compression and post tonight. I have a previously checked for spark with a spark tester...
Like many I have a new to me boat that has put me through the ringer trying to get it running right and reliably.
My latest issue is last time out at WOT I couldn't get the boat to rev past 3000 rpms and was running around 18 - 20 mph. What has lead me to this point? Let me tell you the tale...
I have a new to me 1984 Evinrude 185HP outboard on my 19 foot Grady White boat. I have struggled with getting any reliable performance out of this motor this whole season. I am hoping someone can help answer a few questions with some issues that I suspect may be putting my motor into SLOW mode...
