    Suzuki DF25A prop

    Had my Holiday 14 OB out today in a light chop, not bad. 1st time with the brand new DF25A and it's standard prop ( 10 1/4"x11 ). I got right at 25mph without touching the trim, which made me happy. My RD-28 Johnson 40hp did about that, just with a better hole shot.. However I noticed that I was...

    19?? Starcraft Jetstar

    I do have to figure out my prop. I'm not getting quite 5,500 RPM without any trim, and it should be at 6,000 RPM. I didn't do extensive testing, just brought it up on plane, waited a few seconds, checked speed and then backed down to cruise, in accordance with break in procedures.. I suspect...

    boatinfo.no is missing site

    Boatinfo used flash as part of their copyright security.. With Flash discontinued, what is the point.

    19?? Starcraft Jetstar

    Well, the motor is perfect, silent at all rpms. It doesn't have the low end of the 40hp, but it does 25mph. Takes a little more to get it on plane, but it cruises at 15ish mph. I didn't bother with the trim much since I kind of forgot it was there

    Unknown outboard motor

    I don't recognize it, and the picture is a little too up close perhaps.. Looks air cooled to me, It might be an Eska or other that use a Techumseh/ Power Products power head but a picture of the whole thing would be better

    Epoxy type to use in water jacket

    JB Weld is machinable, meaning you can tap it if you need to

    Dash hole cover up bezel?

    This is what I came up with. Not perfect but it's pretty nice for what it is. The button is the horn button. I left room to space for a matching volt meter although, that is over redundant. Both the stereo and the GPS fishfinder ( Striker 4 ) will display voltage.. My cell phone has decided...

    SEI outdrive question

    5.0L would get a 1.62 or a 1.47 from Mercruiser, but the tipping point was 200hp or over.. I would agree that a 1.62 would work better. You can run a higher pitched prop, rather than a prop with more slip

    That's what I was thinking. When it came set off center, I wasn't sure

    Starcraft 60s era Holiday bare bones weight

    The model number plate should be on starboard side near the helm and will have the HP rating. Sure looks like a Holiday 18.. The weight is without outboard as that is variable. Max on that hull is 120hp. You won't need that for a fishing boat, but within 70% of that would be workable

    1967 MFG Sprint. Steering cable Help

    I don't think his motor has a tilt tube, and would probably have an external tilt tube adapter to use the single cable steering, before it was commonplace. Uflex makes a transom mount steering tube for this purpose as far as I can tell, which costs about $110 and the part number is S39

    19?? Starcraft Jetstar

    Where should the annode tab be pointing? Right out of the box, the rear edge i pointing to starboard. I think that's right based on prop rotation and torque, but I don't know if it's ballpark adjusted in the box or just slapped on because you adjust it based on the boat. I've never rigged a...

    1998 Force 90hp 2 stroke is it bad?

    careful inspection.. One tell tale is discoloration around the bilge drain.. Cracks in the transom, bows. Bolts that appear to be squishing in. An owner will never let you drill a 1/4" hole to check for dry shavings but that is the 100% test. A moisture meter might not even tell the tale

    Ran out or gas, and Gas can

    I've done the same to some I have.. A cool way to make a vent is a tire valve stem with the core pulled.

    1st boat incoming. Dumb question

    Well, the Yamaha has basically a jet ski engine ( big one ). It will have some sort of a charging stator, and not an alternator I don't think. It will be limited charging while the boat is running, probably under 20A. That said, unless your blasting music for 8 hours without it running, or...

    1998 Force 90hp 2 stroke is it bad?

    does nothing. A rotten deck, or transom can pass a 'tap test' very easy

    old engine serial numbers

    The old Ford stuff they really won't work on usually so it's not surprising. The serial number won't do much for you as far as that goes. You have a 351W, so there isn't much available
