    Need the Prop Gurus!

    Has the motor been propped right after was rebuilt for that application ? If the motor runs healthy a 3 blade 15 pitch prop will pull the wot rpm up if happens that's not been propped right, the boat being waterlorged or a combo of both situations. Happy Boating

    Thermostat housing hole.

    That's why need to route the signal pick-up cable straight from the tach to the spark plug cable with no cable slack., for that will need to trim the cable excess once conveniently routed. Have installed about 50 induction tachs over the years with no interference issues whatsoever. As of now...

    1983 Suzuki DT-60 Outboard Not Running Well

    Plan adjusting the idle rpm by ear or with a tach ? Once correctly adjusted to factory specs and if keeps dying probably the carb's idle circuit is somewhat clogged ? An internal carb clean will do good. Seen many motors with too low idle rpm dying when geared forward. Motor vibrations over time...

    Thermostat housing hole.

    Well that's an excellent run out of muffs. Does the tach counts with a 2 stroke, 2 sparks per revolution, 3 cylinder setting ? If not, set it to 2 stroke, 2 sparks prer revolution check if the wot rpm now reads full true wot rpm. Right now the motor is slightly over revving from max 5500 wot...

    1983 Suzuki DT-60 Outboard Not Running Well

    Seems the idle rpm is too low, turn the carb's vertical screw some CC degrees more to raise the rpm, check if still dies. Happy Boating

    Earrow Outboards.-

    Yep you're right about the add, that's false propaganda. How can you have oil pressure problems with a pre-mix 2 stroke motor ? The bearing and the lower unit gear wear happened in how much time out of the box ? These motors will be used to power tender applications at low speed around a bay...

    Thermostat housing hole.

    In some boats it's near impossible for the motor to achieve exactly 90 deg at transom, if I had to choose prefer slight under than above 90 deg. Happy Boating

    Saturn MC365 Catamaran - Set Up & Motor Suggestions

    OK, for such light application don't need a 15 HP motor. If by racing you mean speeding, you can race with a 9.9 HP motor, just need to prop it right to run towards max 6100 wot revs. Inflate all tubes and air deck to factory specs with a pressure gauge if wanting to have fun and get the max...

    Earrow Outboards.-

    Even website has a Merc not Earrow displayed on boat. Have checked their entire web page and can't find what stated, so where might that be posted ? If you plan working with an outboard Company that doesn't have a main local dealer and plan importing by yourself you need to stock the main parts...

Cats as any other inflatable boat has their own learning curve till the beast is completely tamed and boater feels comfy running with. If going...

    Exciter, Charge Coil Issues.-

    Was wondering if with a very oxidized exciter's coil armature (+) the flywheel magnets will still produce the same amount of DVA volts compared to a clean one ? Thoughts, ideas Happy Boating

    Saturn MC365 Catamaran - Set Up & Motor Suggestions

    Welcome to Iboats, With how many souls on board do you plan going boating with and which motor brand will be powering it ? Strange that a 12 footer will only hold just a 9.9 HP motor, that size usually holds 15-20 HP ones which should weight the same as a 9.9 depending on brand. Happy Boating
