I have been trying to determine if I am acheiving full power. I got a brand new Faria service tach and have been trying to get the right...

    prop woes - at my wits end!

    The boat: New 1900cc Seachaser offshore series. 17% deadrise, 103" beam, electric trim tabs and around 2500lbs. I elected to keep my existing engine: a 2000 Johnson 150. It had a 19" pitch x 14 3/4 - 3 blade Viper prop. I got 4200 rpms @ 42 mph. By the way, all of my testing was done with tabs...

    are aftermarket controls universal?

    I'm undertaking the major task (for me anyway), of removing my old OMC Seadrive, installing a swim platform/transom bracket and a new Yamaha 150. My boat has some type of aftermaket controls, maybe Morse, but I haven't noticed a brand name on them. The tilt/trim button is on the throttle lever...

    Dupont Imron over bottom paint?

    My Uncle runs a certified Dupont bodyshop mostly for semi-trucks. We are planning to paint my fibrglass/gelcoat boat with Imron, but it has a modified epoxy bottom paint. He is very keen on Imron, but is not very familliar with boat bottom paints. Would it be necessary to remove the bottom...

    swim platform, outboard bracket height?

    I purchased a used swim platform outboard bracket, ( replacing my old Seadrive). Does anyone know the formula to figure out how high to mount the bracket to the transom?

    Any suggestions on buying a used OMC?

    98 johnson 150 dfi

    I was thinking of purchasing a 98 150hp DFI Johnson Oceanrunner from a local marina. It has the Fitch DFI, and I was wondering was this one of the year models that had so many problems with the fuel injection?

    1.6 seadrive to 140 crossflow

    I have a 1.6 seadrive with a bad cylinder, and was thinking about ordering a remanufactured powerhead. If I stepped up to a 140 crossflow, what changes would have to be made? Would I need an old 140 to steal parts from? Carbs, intake, etc.? Thanks, Rob.

    1.6 seadrive changeout.

    My 1.6 dropped a cylinder this past week and I'm exploring ways to up my power. Is it possible to unbolt a sedrive from its bracket, remove the clamp bracket from say a 140 evinrude, and bolt it on the seadrive bracket? Or, put a 1.8 seadrive or 140 Ev. powerhead on my 1.6?<br />Thanks, Rob.
