    Multi Function gauge for 2004 Yamaha F150

    Displays are no longer proprietary to a particular motor or brand. You will need a gateway to covert to NMEA2000, but once done, there are any number of multi-function displays on the market that will work.

    Did a little saltwater fishing in SC last week.

    The trick is live bait..... Keep dead bait to chunk for sharks at night Live line rig....6/0 Gami circle hook and a #50 mono leader. Typically no weight, but some could be added if the fish are deep. Leave reel in free spool. Doesn't take long if there are fish around. Live shrimp or mullet...

    Wash Down Pump

    PSI I have 4.0 @ 60 psi and it does a great job. Should mention, the coiled hose supplied with these units sucks. Too small. Replaced mine with a 5/8" sanitary hose. World of difference

    Kodiak Anchor - Made by SouthCoast Marine . . .???

    Cold worked (tempered) when bent. Cold worked (tempered) when straightened. Could straighten and anneal to like new strength, but wouldn't be cost effective unless you do the work yourself

    Easier time putting on the trailer

    Ever tried getting a #5,200 boat on or off a trailer by yourself? No comparison between the two if you have weight to deal with. My previous trailer had 32 rollers ($$$), 12 articulations to maintain (pain) and a #4,200 electric winch to get the boat on the trailer. Had to use the winch to...

    1994 v6 problem

    Not saying this is your problem, but I've had many coils test OK yet are compromised. The insulation breaks down over time. If I see any cracks whatsoever in the epoxy it gets replaced.

    axle repair sleeve question

    Loctite is a bear to remove. They used to recommend a non-hardening sealer under them to prevent moisture from getting under them. I've used # 2 permatex with good results in the past

    1997 johnson 150 ocean runner

    Ive managed a Service Department for the past 25 years. Know how many times I've heard I'm 100% confident in this situation? It ran before you did the work but doesn't now....your missing something

    1997 johnson 150 ocean runner

    Three bad fuel pumps isn't coincidence. Time to start at the beginning. Are you 100% sure of the work you did to the carbs? Floats set to the right height? Fuel lines to the carbs get mixed up? Throughly inspect every component in the fuel delivery system from tank to carbs. Make sure...

    Easier time putting on the trailer

    Must be a local thing. Can't think of a single facility that takes issue with power loading. Pretty much the norm around here.

    Fuel efficiency for long-ish trip

    My boat is similar size and weight as yours but with a 200 HP carb outboard with 147 gallon fuel capacity. Been running FlowScan system for 10 years now. When calculating fuel consumption I use 2 mpg which includes the customary 30% fuel reserve. A 80 mile leg for me would run ~ 2.7 hours...

    Should the prop have any play

    Guessing you meant 55 ft/lbs of torque ;) Really need to follow the manufacturers specification for a particular motor. The spec for my motor/prop is 80 ft/lbs.

    Adding ballast to the bow?

    Got looking again.....what are you calling a "bracket". The brackets I'm familiar with are sealed floatation cambers that bolt to the transom. Used to offset the motor from the boat to allow the prop to run in "clean" water Looks like the motor is bolted to the transom. Has the old style open...
