    Get factory service manual Oil pressure switch and starter R terminal Did you clean the tank, anti-siphon valve, and pickup tube? I personally would run the motor from a remote tank to get the rest of the issues addressed

    There are hundreds of small engine rebuilders in Michigan. I would start there.

    . . . and I Thought Hi-tech Boat Engines Were Bad . . .

    Your fob battery is low if it needs to be close to the RFID reader. Even if the fob will unlock the doors. The Admiral's VW Beetle was like that (A real key in a real ignition switch never has that problem)

    2002 Chaparral 286 SSI

    EFI is ok, until a simple issue makes it not OK. Never had a maintained carb flood out. Never had starting problems (and I do not run a choke)

    Looking at a boat with a 1995 Evinrude 120 V4, anything I should know?

    The motor can be replaced. Most importantly......How is the transom/stringers on the 29 year old boat

    2002 Chaparral 286 SSI

    Actually on a boat, you want simple. Fred Flintstone fix with a wooden club simple......A carb not only is cheaper than EFI, it's easier to repair and parts are available (unlike many 20 year old TBI or EFI motors). And no, EFI does not have better economy or power A +1 on not changing the prop

    Another prop slipping thread

    I'm glad my drive has a drive plate vs a coupler.....lol A good flashlight will tell you the health of the coupler. If you see rubber bits and it looks like the center sleeve is being pushed out a sphincter....the coupler needs replacement

    Dog gps trackers

    check the hunting group forums. something like the duck guys or coon hunters. I would not trust many of the reviews on Amazon. most are looking for dogs escaping their home (urban environments), not out wandering the woods. here is a list from PC magazine...

    Another prop slipping thread

    your fine with the power assuming you dont mash the throttle for a holeshot and most importantly, run a rev limiter to kill the engine should you launch from one wave to the next. that instant loading of the drive as you come onto the second wave will grenade the drive. coupler should be good...

    Evinrude Paint

    agree with matching in person I have painted many motors, including johny-rudes. just never painted them the stock colors. my favorite is still House of Kolor NE508 "Chartreuse / Nitro Neon Yellow" color https://www.kolorhouse.com/hoc-ne508-q01.html data sheet...

    Glastron vs FourWinns with the consolidated plant

    usually construction methods are commonized when they migrate brands under one roof. wouldnt make sense to vacuum infuse one mold, then put all the equipment away to drag out other equipment to chopper gun the next boat. what you will find..... brand A gets stainless deck hardware ($1000)...
