    1997 M40C Stalling

    !-Yes, 2-Yes If the throttle grip is at 2-3 deg at min and at 25 deg at max grip, both adjustments are correct. Assume that what bothers you is the dead like zone the throttle grip experinces going from -2 deg and the beginning of the cold start point as if doing nothing ? If so.. The Tohatsu...

    Toyo 12’ inflatable boat

    Most inflatable boats are usually rated to be inflated to min 3.0, max 3.5 PSI which it's their factory stated working parameters once running on water. Around 2.5 PSI the tubes will feel super firm. Will need to buy a pressure gauge if wanting top boating performance. Post if possible a pic...

    25hp on small rib

    Would be technically more effective and faster to install a motor mount on top transom to raise the motor accordingly. Motor should not be clamped to the plate's border, could be extremely dangerous, motor could fly to the deep blue and lose it forever... Which motor brand is it ? Can you...

    Sorry but the air should not permeate through the cone end, the cone it's placed there to protect the tube's fabric end, seals nothing, least air. Seems there's 2 issues going on, an air leak somewhere the fabric seam of the pointy end that's housed inside the plastic/rubber end cone and the...

    Where to Install ?

    A canadian friend owns a deep V hull 530 open Rib, will be powered with an ETec 60 HP electric trim/tilt motor. Being a tiller model plans steering it while sitting on side tubes.
