    1992 evinrude 200xp tachometer issues

    Do you a OEM manual? Looking at a manual for a 1997 and there are very specific tests to check tach operation. Don’t know if your is the same but most tests are looking for battery voltage or zero voltages between the gray and black wire at the dash without the motor running. The one 1000...

    89 Johnson get 200 no top end power

    Assume nothing…..the fact that they’ve done all this work, “everything is in spec”, and the motor still doesn’t run right speaks volumes to their diagnostic capabilities. Something doesn’t add up. Why would you need a lower crank seal on a freshly rebuilt motor? If the compression is even and...

    XD100 oil

    If you want to save a couple of bucks, try XD 50 next time. The same smokeless operation at much cheaper price.

    Interpreting Hypervision Sonar Images

    Your swam of mayflies is bait fish with a few larger fish mixed in the back side. Your maybe seaweed looks to be the rhythmic rocking of the boat The lack of detail is why I don’t use “down view” or whatever name your particular mfg uses. Running CHIRP gives a very detailed, MRI type...

    Ford F150 w/10 spd transmission

    What kind of mileage are you getting? My truck (Super Crew, 4 WD) comes with a 3.55 in the max tow package. Gets 20 mpg on the highway going down hill with the wind at my back. Had a Platinum for a rental a few months back. Must of had a 3.15 or a 3.31 rear since the RPM was noticeably lower...

    Winch ratings are deceptive. Get the largest winch you can find that fits on your winch stand F= D x R Force - effort Diameter of spool Radius of winch handle Winches are rated with an empty, smallest diameter spool. Since the radius of the winch handle is fixed, every turn of the handle...

    Please advise on first outboard purchase

    The lower bay is big water. Lots of tide and current. If push comes to shove, it not if, it’s when.. your going to want more than a 15, especially is you have more than 1 person an board. Personally I’d max out the boat’s HP rating. My neighbor has a 40 on his 16’ Carolina Skiff he used to crab

    Quality Bullet Connectors

    Depends on the application and wire size. For joining 12-20 awg its hard to beat some of the low voltage connectors on the market. I like the 3M scotchlok, moisture guard connectors. If you need to connect and reconnect on a regular basis i use either a Molex connector or quick disconnects...

    Solunar Theory

    As I noted above, light conditions and water temps are predictable from year to year. We have a hard time predicting the weather from one day to the next let alone long term. I'll rush you to the dock in the hours before a strong low pressure system pushes through the area. Fishing in the...

    Honda 150 performance issue on Hewescraft Searunner 190

    I'd bet good money that it's not the gas. Performance bulletins for the boat put WOT at close to 40 mph although I see a couple of red flags in your post. 1. Are you quoting GPS speed or speedometer speed? 2. What was your engine rpm when all if this was happening? 3. New owner... do you know...
