    Nobody fishing?

    Fishing is fine in the summer. Once the North west winds arrive, it’s catch or go home

    daily music fix

    If anybody wants to rent a retriever, I’ll lease my Huskador (Husky/lab cross) out for an hour or so. Basically a black Husky that lives to retrieve. Hours upon hours of non-stop retrieving…ball, frisbee, rabbit, moles, squirrel, bird, anything that moves, or used to move. Gets obnoxious after...

    How to decarbon a 4 stroke

    Like most modern 4 strokes motors, this motor appears to be throttle body injected. Remove the breather and spray the your "Snake Oil" of choice in the throttle body

    Johnson GT Ocean Pro

    HP= TxRPM/5250 Hard to believe a 20% increase in displacement didn’t result in an increase of torque as well. WOT for both motors the same? Bear in mind that rated and advertised HP can vary plus or minus 10% by law

    Draw on battery 1

    Anything involving a stator and or rotor is subject to current/ground leakage. Generators and electric motors (bilge, starter) are the prime suspects until proven otherwise. The first thing I'd do is to remove all wiring from the batteries with the exception of the battery cables and disconnect...

    changing from a 2 barrel to a 4 barrel carburetor

    Find it hard to believe in this day and age that nobody clones ECM modules. https://carcomputerexchange.com/

    Nobody fishing?

    Line weight (strength) has nothing to do with it. However, the diameter of the line plays a huge role in the amount of friction (reel and guides) generated during the cast. Casting distance is 75% technique, 20% rod and 5% the reel. Will not get into technique, but two things are true...... 1...

    Mercury Outboard vapor separator problem

    Don’t know about your particular motor, but a leaking vent on an EFI is typically the high pressure fuel pump is on the way out.

    Considering a 22-25ft cabin cruiser. thoughts?

    They changed the hull design over a course of several years in the early 90's. Had an 1989 206C prior to purchasing the 226 in 1997. The SeaV2 was a huge upgrade in ride quality. Huge cockpit and very stable platform for trolling and inshore fishing. The perfect “pocket size” Striped bass...

    Could I use isolator to charge AGM battery

    Dependent upon rpm, your motor is putting out 5-50 amps per hour of run time. Given the small output and the use of a AGM, I would go with a charge relay over an isolator

    Could I use isolator to charge AGM battery

    More than likely he is looking at an automatic charge relay. Blue seas add a battery https://www.bluesea.com/products/7649/Mini_Add-A-Battery_Kit_-_65A

    Considering a 22-25ft cabin cruiser. thoughts?

    What year? I've run a Grady 226 with the SeaV2 hull for the past 20 years. Everyone always compliments how soft the boat rides.

    Could I use isolator to charge AGM battery

    Don't throw in the towel so quickly......my 1996 Evinrude is fully regulated. Looks like your is as well from the parts list. A 3000 W inverter is drawing more power than the alternator can output, typically 600-1400W A DC-DC convertor isn't going to solve that problem

    Thoughts on winter dust cover

    Had a full enclose on last boat. No problem keeping a tarp on over the winter. A “breathable” tarp is an oxymoron :)

    Thoughts on winter dust cover

    I keep my boat in my barn not far from you. Tried everything over the years. Gave up and just pull a trap (loose) over the hardtop as a dust cover and call it good. The problem is not condensation, it's the humidity. The extreme temperate fluctuations that promote condensation during layover...

    Have a live mouse inside a interior wall. No insulation.

    I have not used poison in rodent control since local DNR found 36 dead bald eagles, and a number of other animals, over a 3 year period traced back to secondary poisoning of rodents.

    Fuel starvation conundrum

    One of the components we manufacturer is a high voltage transformer filled with insulating oil under vacuum. I've never got a straight answer as to why exactly, but components that leak under vacuum rarely leak under pressure and vice versa.
