    Octane - Does it matter?

    I have a 1981 Johnson 115 V4, does it really matter what octane gasoline I use? Does it hurt to mix different octanes? Around here, 87 to 93 octane gas is readily available, I would have to search for anything higher.

    Frustrated with the Tournament fisherman.

    How many have had this happen. I was fishing at Patoka lake, (8880 acres), fairly close to the shore with my wife and two young boys. We were fishing for crappie toward the back of a large wooded cove, when I noticed out on the main lake many bass-boats in a large group moving at high speeds. A...

    W.O.T. - Does it hurt?

    I have heard different opinions on running an outboard at W.O.T. Some people say it will not hurt the engine, while others say you should not run at W.O.T for extended periods of time. What are your opinions? For reference, I have a 1980 Johnson 115. :p

    Too much Horsepower?

    I have a 1980 Dynatrak 160 ss boat with a 1981 Johnson 115. I have had the boat for a little over a year. We have had the boat out many times, and it does great. The problem is, I found out recently that this particular boat is only rated for a 105. Is it safe to have the 115 on this boat? The...

    What bouy?

    My dad and two of his friends were fishing in a small seacrest boat, (with a '76 Evinrude 25). Unfortunately they all decided to sit in the back of the boat, which caused the bow of the boat to rise up and obstruct my dads view. To make a long story short, he ran over one of the 10 mile an hour...

    MG, Prop equation

    MG.............After looking at your reply to my problem, I was wondering, what is the equation for figuring the max speed of a boat. You had the hp, weight, bottom factor, mph, max rpm, and pitch figured pretty precisely. Also, when determining max rpm, should I be using the 13-1/4", 19 pitch...
