    Winter Prep for So Cal

    I don’t have a Johnny Rude operators manual. Mine is an OMC :) My Merc 175 and my Evinrude 200 both are 100 hour intervals? By chance….what year is your documentation? This one is 1997 Right next to the 3,000 mile oil change shop?…lol

    Winter Prep for So Cal

    50 hours? I have put that many hours on my motor in a week. My service manual says annually or every 100 hours. I service mine annually….. 200-250 hours.

    Hardtop repair

    Pretty obvious that the underlying structural support (plywood) is compromised. Can’t tell from the picture if the ply is physically damaged or you have a moisture problem. If physically damage there is no repair. If it’s moisture, you need to strip the gel coat and glass down to the ply...

    Golf Carts ?

    Long story, but was a freebie. Literally pulled it from the weeds behind a barn after sitting for 2 years. 1990 EZ-GO Marathon with a dump bed. Single cylinder 2 stroke….125:1. Got it running the next day then drove it a year before rebuilding it for $225. Used by Mrs. Dingbat as a (horse)...

    1992 Evinrude 150 Oceanpro

    Runs cold...smokes like a chimney, oil runs out of exhaust ports, fouls plugs and carbons up the combustion chambers. Makes a real mess once water temps get down in the 50's Running in SW, make sure you get SS thermostats. Mine are 10 years old and still look like new. Rough idle compared to...

    Winter Storage

    Not sure what fogging accomplishes on a 2 stroke given the internals are constantly covered in fuel and oil mixture? If you feel the necessity to fog for whatever reason, simply choke and crank the motor over a couple of rotations. The fuel evaporates over time leaving a thick oil coating on...

    Battery low alarm

    A fully charged 12 volt battery is 12.7 volts. A starting battery is technically dead at 12.0 volts. The current draw of a starter drops voltage between 1-2 volts depending on the starter. This puts you at 11.7 to 10.7 volts at start. If your battery drops below 10 volts your battery and or...

    Hummingbird no fish alarm

    Agree…I go as far as to run my sounders in manual mode. Make adjustments to range, gain and sensitivity as needed, manually. A real pain on units with menu driven controls. Much prefer units with push buttons and knobs

    What is this on the transom?

    Took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at in your screen shot. The presentation is much different than Garmin ClearVu. Image looks like a cross between down scan and side scan. Turns out the difference is in the transducers. Garmin uses a 3 crystal transducer with a dedicated to...

    Hummingbird no fish alarm

    You’re probably better off that it doesn’t… How does the unit know if the return is a fish or a stick? Not sure what you’re expecting… the sounder doesn’t find the fish.. that’s your job. They just confirm the presence of fish

    What is this on the transom?

    Don't worry about it......misinterpreted your post as being able to see "amazing details" at 650 ft. I have no problems seeing larger objects up to 75 ft. in calm water. The lack of "heave compensation" on the unit really puts a hurt on locating fish sized targets that those depths in open water.
