    New to hydraulic steering

    First off, have you followed the bleeding process to the T? Taking short cuts rarely pays off Leaks on the suction side rarely leak fluid. It’s also quite possible the cylinder or one of your connections are leaking

    Did you ever resolve your over voltage issue? All kinds of weird stuff can happen if you’re operating in real over voltage situation.

    1991 gt 150 missing badly around 3000 rpm

    Did you fill the filter with gas prior to install? They will not fill on their own. If not, crack a fuel line on the motor (vent air) and pump the filter full with the primer bulb

    Evinrude Ocean Pro 175 issues

    Quite possibly. I had to replace three carbs with hair line cracks on my 200hp a while back. Would run, but flood and foul plugs over a course of 10-15 minutes. Tore my hair out trying to figure out what was wrong, With the motor running, spray starting fluid around the crack. If rpm pickup...

    Evinrude Ocean Pro 175 issues

    Water pump and thermostat are maintenance items. Doesn't explain the drop in power. If you’re not already, you should be running a 10 micron coalescing fuel filter.

    tahoe 1950 trailer guide pole

    Tide…. Running a continuous variable hull. Bow drafts 14” more than the stern. Basically a big wedge. The torsion axle combined with the extra clearance carries the boat 10-12” lower than its predecessor. Can float the #5k hull to the bow stop in knee deep water.

    transducer

    Transducer is in fore of the tunnel, roughly 6” off keel. Black, box looking thing, particle obscured by the top, center prop blade. Appears to be missing the fairing block. Will not work w/o one

    tahoe 1950 trailer guide pole

    Sure, you could rig something up I guess, but the torsion V axle conversion (lowers trailer to ground) alone would cost me $2,000 plus labor alone. To that you have to add the cost of the target bunks, misc brackets and hardware, adjustable guide poles, etc. Could easily see the conversion of...

    Check your fuel filter. Marina fuel is notorious for water contamination. Go out of my way to avoid them

    Evinrude Ocean Pro 175 issues

    Had something similar happened. Turned out to be a bad float valve. Pull the plugs to see if you can identify the offending cylinder

    Why don't sea choice 1 1/16 seals fit?

    Seems like a weird size kit. Typically the inner and outer bearings and seals are a different sizes. Do you have a picture or part number of your old bearings?

    depth sounder replacement

    Same transducer setup I had in my last boat running a fish finder. Not sure why you would need to test with a depth finder only display. Replace one transducer with the other but…here was my technic for a fish finder You need a zip-loc bag of water and your head unit set for manual gain...

    depth sounder replacement

    It’s a well proven and recognized fact that using a silicon to mount a transducer is detrimental to its acoustic performance. From a physics perspective, I would argue that your test results are invalid given the fact that you’re comparing different frequencies and not seeing a difference...

    tahoe 1950 trailer guide pole

    Switching to a drive on trailer with target bunks was a no brainer once I saw one in action. The poles are mainly used to line up the boat with the trailer. The poles only contact the hull on the rub rails. Don’t have to worry about debris (sand) getting stuck in rub board (side guides)...

    depth sounder replacement

    Would advise against the use of silicon in a transducer install. Silicon is a sound deadening material. Epoxy propagates sound magnitudes better. Better sound transfer, better performance

    Fish finders

    Fishing is boring……much rather be catching….lol I personally find it enjoyable to use all the tech skills and knowledge I’ve acquired over the years. Using sonar, satellite data (water temp) and radar to locate and catch fish is both challenging and fun. Yes, radar is a very powerful tool to...
