    Have never heard of nor seen a “check value” on a thru hull with the exception of the ping pong ball scuppers of which I’m not a fan for a variety of issues Any intake (thru hull) below the water should have a sea **** or on-line ball valve installed.

    Pitting/corrosion on jon boat bottom

    Signs would not be tin. Tin is a very soft material. Aluminum is stable with a ph between 6.4 and 8.5 To “clean” need a product outside these limits. Take what you read on the internet about aluminum cleaning with a grain of salt. Don’t tell them producers (mills) acid clean using...

    Sticky timing base '96 Evinrude 200TXEDR

    Voltage doesn’t tell you anything except the regulator has not failed outright. The goo (insulator material) is proof the stator has been overheated working beyond its capacity. Bad battery(s) and or loose connections are the usual suspects. With the VR pushed to capacity, it’s only a matter...

    Sticky timing base '96 Evinrude 200TXEDR

    Need to replace cam roller with new part. Can’t do link and sync w/o 1500-1600 rpm idle on a hose is normal. 700-750 rpm in water, in gear There is no “cleaning” up a failing stator. If the stator has “melted” it needs to be replaced

    Swell, waves, and period

    By definition, the phenomenon of swell can not be truly realized even in the largest lakes. I believe the phenomenon of which you speak is called Seiche

    2003 yamaha 150txrb oil lines

    It’s not a application specific hose but they use a specific hose for the application. I went through this exercise a while back. Couldn't find a SAE number on the OE hose. Played it safe and ordered OE quality hose. Rather spend a couple of extra bucks than take a chance on the quality of...

    Fisher sv-19 gt w/ 150EFI prop pitch?

    The advertised weight of an I/O typically includes the motor since it’s an integral part of the boat. The advertised weight of an outboard powered boat does not include the weight of the motor for obvious reasons. For prop calculations “weight” includes everything……Passengers, fuel, gear, etc.

    Install additional fuel vent hose into existing line?

    Interesting setup. Have never seen a situation where the fill and vent lines are on the same plane. Looks like topping off the tank would back flow into the vent line Is this a new to you boat? Did you or someone else change the elbow on the vent line? They are normally a bit taller. Gives...

    Install additional fuel vent hose into existing line?

    I would start by replacing the 21 year old fill hose and see where it leads you. Have you blown air back thru the vent to confirm a blockage? You would be amazed at how much stuff gets stuck/trapped in there over time

    More testing on Sharrow prop...

    Numbers don't lie. Liars use numbers...... Anytime I see percentages used in comparisons instead of absolute numbers I’m immediately suspicious of the entire presentation. A 200% increase in murder last month....... went from 1 to 2 murders isn't much of a headline
