    I am starting to believe some of the global warming in N J.

    I wonder what the temps were in New Jersey in the 1500's... or 1000 bc..🫤

    or you could spend 11+ million dollars in an ocean front property on an island that was supposed to be underwater years ago and just not worry about it.

    Lucky Day

    According to a service manual on a Garrett AIResearch 331-6 turboprop engine used on the MU-2: If no light off on an initial start attempt, open access panels at the engine and "malletize" the fuel control unit.

    Outboard motor upgrade?

    this is as close as you can get, I bet..... I'm willing to bet I can get 3 pontoon boats for the cost of one of these.

    Outboard motor upgrade?

    yep...deck boats... I brought that up as a question as to why they didn't really catch on... someone's answer was pontoons are easier and cheaper to build.....cost less...

    need a new prop ?

    +1 on motor height is critical on a pontoon. I've got one. On mine, just 11/2 inches lower made a huge difference on my repower. plus, is the prop in good shape. also, my merc has a plastic ring that snaps in place at the gap between the prop and gear case to eliminate ventilation from exhaust...

    Outboard motor upgrade?

    mainly because they/we don't understand the physics involved. Most people think doubling HP will "double" my speed. Drag coefficients say no. A pontoon has a heavy front half. Trying to get that up with tilt just forces the back down, then more speed forces the back up, forcing the front...

    Outboard motor upgrade?

    This is a correct proven statement from my experience. I re-powered my pontoon from a 60 to a 115 HP Merc. I gained only a 5-6 mph increase. My fuel consumption increased noticebly. And it cost me a net of $8000....I did get the performance I wanted, so I'm content with my choice. There is a lot...

    Outboard motor upgrade?

    because it's true, THAT's why I said it. Where did I deny 4 stroke existence? Do you even own a pontoon boat? I do. And a 4 stroke weighs significantly more than a 2stroke and as some on here have stated there is a placard on the boat with a max total weight limit to not be exceeded and there...

    Outboard motor upgrade?

    Are you talking 2 stroke or 4 stroke . If the 40 is original and a 2 stroke then the placard limit of 120 is for a 2 stroke. Curious what diameter the toons are. Makes a difference and also why there is a placard with a limit. It's not just for transom, balance is part of it.... FWIW, I have a...
