    re-powering old Tyee 5.5

    What’s the weight of a 140hp Suzuki? Or what’s the lightest engine in 100 to 150hp. I’d take a 360lb 125hp engine over a 480lb 150hp. You have to check the different brands. That said some boats need max hp.

    Black Friday

    I think the ff come on sale in the spring when new models come out. I paid regular price for a Bimini top and a set of cannon tracks for my rod holders. I can’t find any good deals.

    Boat is put away for winter. What to do every day ?

    I’m going to make some gas money for the boat. Hopefully I can get a few thousand.

    Reminder to check gear before towing.

    My boat engine didn’t have a tilt pin so I was looking online to find one. I was pondering what one to get and I see they are about $30. I decided to go for a walk up the road and I spot a piece of SS rod. I put it in the hole and it’s a perfect dia. And already has a bend on one end. I...

    18ft aluminum boat v hull

    Looks to be 1960 to 1975 ish. When there were lots of companies making boats. Should be good for a 30hp once you fix the transom.

    Play in steering then found this..

    What was it like when you had it on the water? I have outboards but they seem loose ( too easy to flop around) when on land but in the water they are good.

    Honda BF20HP maximum revs

    All I can tell you is I’ve run a three blade aluminum 11 pitch vs a SS 11 pitch and the SS was way better. (3mph top speed and hole shot). On a 1200lb total weight aluminum and it goes 25mph.

    What Is this alarm? Mercury 2001 125hp

    One of the reasons I want to keep my oil injection is because it does a different mix ratio for different rpm.

    What Is this alarm? Mercury 2001 125hp

    My oil injection system seams to be very good. Very little smoke. Quick silver oil. Part of the reason I have a side console boat is so the windshield and Bimini doesn’t trap exhaust. My tank is about 12” tall and holds 5.3l. I did a 30mile trip and I used about 1.25” of oil. A big day of...

    What Is this alarm? Mercury 2001 125hp

    My 115 mariner has a connection block where the high temp wire and low oil wires (reads low oil only not flow)are connected together (lower starboard on engine block) and then a wire into the wiring harness up to the dash. My alarm was going off steady so I disconnected the low oil warning and...

    View of unloaded trailer with pickups

    I was waiting in the water at the ramp for the two guys ahead of me to pull their jet ski. The owner told his friend to back the trailer down. Well he got everything straight and started backing. He was using his mirrors and couldn’t see the trailer so everything was good. A few feet later...

    Trim gauge not working

    The sender isn’t connected to the bolt with the slot in it. Possibly the wrong sender. The gauge moves when i turn the sender by hand. I’ll modify the sender to allow it to stick out farther and into the slot in the bolt.

    Trim gauge not working

    It’s possible that it never worked. Whoever installed it didn’t hook up the backlight. I’ll have to check the sender tomorrow. Thank you.

    Trim gauge not working

    I get 48 ohms then 42 as I press the tilt up so the sender wire is changing resistance.

    Trim gauge not working

    I have difficulty getting the engine trimmed to the sweet spot. It doesn’t have a trim pin. Maybe I’ll get a trim pin and put it on the sweet spot. The engine has lots of power so I don’t need to adjust trim after I find the sweet spot. It’s on a 1994 StarCraft walleye 180. (Super fisherman)

    Trim gauge not working

    I worked at the spaghetti factory (wiring) all day. I got most of it done. Trim gauge is not working. The trim gauge might not be original. there is no wire for the light and I can tell it never had a wire hooked to it. the hole is cut out different from the rest. Gauge is out of boat and...

    Anchoring a Starcraft Islander 191V

    High gunnel StarCraft are like having a sail out. If there’s very little wind you could put two small anchors off the back corners.
