    Fuel Dripping From The Carbs When It's Hot Out - 200HP Johnson 2001

    Also notice that only a couple of carbs have the new (brown) viton gaskets which implies a repair, not rebuilt. Rebuilt my carbs this Spring for the same problem….new o-rings, gaskets, needles and seats, problem solved

    Had to look…... the break point is at 200 HP, not 225 as I had thought. Small displacement…2.6L verse Yamaha’s 4.3 L

    2014 Merc Verado 225

    Less than an I/O… Change oil (motor and LU) and filters annually. Having said that, not a fan. Rather “doggie” for a 225 HP outboard. Much prefer a 6 cylinder

    Smartcraft SC1000 and vesselview calibration

    Sounds like your “tacho” readings are analog, i.e. reading directly from the sender. Vessel View is sending digital, ie calculated data. As such, you need to calibrate vessel view separately for each system.

    Is this trailer repairable?

    Steel "quality" is not understood by many people....lol Bear in mind, "bad pours" don't make it out of the melt shop. Down grades are the result of downstream processing errors and or physical damage. What is your definition of "junk" steel? Steel is graded at the Mill as follows: Prime...

    Is this trailer repairable?

    On the contrary, processes and chemistries have improved significantly in the past 30 years. As has the quality of the underlying steel. Some of the cleaners and rinses have gotten a bit more environmentally friendly but any thing is friendlier than what was norm 30 years ago

    Kicker on a CC?

    Have never run or owned a carbureted 4 stroke. All 150 hp and above EFI motors. Like your car, they start with the turn of the key.

    Kicker on a CC?

    Someone obviously........local marinas are full of twin outboard powered boats. Pretty much the norm for a 25' (600 hp) outboard powered boats. Triples are common once you hit the 36' (900 hp) mark. The commercial guys will be the first to tell you that maintenance, uptime and fuel consumption...

    Kicker on a CC?

    Then why is there more and more single engine craft fishing offshore every year? Why so many single engine inboards on the fishing grounds? The real answer is you no longer need twin 150 hp to get above 300 hp.

    Navionics app vs Active Captain app

    Let me start by saying I don't do apps given I have 2- 9" chart recorders and that cell phone coverage is "iffy" at best in my primary boating area. Having said that, $5 min-SD chip gets rid of the need for Active Captain Most most marine maps go years between critical updates I typically go...

    Verado trim cylinder

    Might be a 2600 psi but the working pressure is much less. Even if the lift cylinder has only has an effective cross section of 1”, you still only need a working pressure less than 700 to 800 psi to raise the motor. Low pressure, low speed operation…o-rings are more than sufficient. I...
