    Is 40 lbs pressure enough?

    Yep , when I 1st got my onda the muffs worked fine , but we are on rain/ tank water here and I have noticed the water flow is slowly dropping off ( we have been here 10 years ) and now the boat wont flush so I spose Im going to have to find the 🤬filter and clean it :)

    Kodiak 225 Brake pad replacement

    Yes , I never said otherwise , but it would seem other brake pad makers supply pads for the Kodiak 225 marine brakes . They are sold here in NZ and while I can see they offer cast stainless and Dacromet coated calipers for hi corrosion resistance they are not dedicated to marine only...

    Napier Deltic Snow gas engine What impresses me is that not only did they have the knowledge required to come up with something like this ( try getting one built today ) but they could actually make it . Some of them castings are immense let alone the ability to machine them. 150 odd years...

    Monster.

    I google stuff like that too , huge big old engines. Did you see the vid where some guy steps into the crankcase ( they had one of them blow off covers removed ) jumps/stands on the big end as it goes down past him , does a rev and steps back off ? Pretty sure it was one of the Wartsila...

    New boat owners leaving the hobby

    I think tho regardless of current trends a certain number of new boaters are going to "hang it up " for a variety of reasons 1/ In spite of everything the wife and/ or kids said , enthusiasm shown , when it came down to it they couldnt be arsed sitting in a boat all day , dont like touching...

    If your looking to get a used shaft the bearing position might be shinier than the rest of the shaft but if you can feel or measure any wear its on its way out . Can you get that part new ?

    2011 8 HP Mercury 4 Stroke

    Does it misbehave if you hold it at 3300-4000 rpm or does it do it at WOT at 3300-4000 rpm on its way to full revs?

    Top pic , Nah that shaft is custard . What your looking at is the hardened surface (where the bearing runs ) has disintegrated . You may be able to recover the shaft but its either some hard welding , machining and rehardening , or maybe sleeving it ( speedy sleeve ? ). The problem is that...

    2004 Mercury 115 ELPTO surging

    Sure does sound like a fuel flow issue . Get the carbs primed up and remove fuel feed hose from carbs and direct at a suitable container , start engine and confirm that fuel is being delivered at a reasonable pressure ( put finger over end of hose and try and make it spray a bit ). The...

    Is 40 lbs pressure enough?

    My Honda has the two ports on the side of the gear case but it also has one above the prop in the underside of the cav plate . When on the muffs a lot of water comes out the hole above the prop ..... so much so that the pump wont prime or flow properly ..... I get a dribble at best from the...
