Re: Fuel gauge question
Well, I honestly haven't read every thread on here but have read several. I haven't had time to test things as of yet and would prefer to understand what I am doing before I start messing around with electrical things and gasoline. I have a tendency to get shocked when...
Yeah, I know this seems to be a common topic. I have read dozens of threads by searching but I am still confused. I have the diagram saved.
Here's my deal. I got the boat used. The guys said he couldn't figure out why the gauge didn't work.
A friend suggested the float may be stuck and that I...
I have a Noco Genius 3 bank charger. I have a starting battery that also runs electronics. I have 2 batteries that I would like to use for my 12 volt trolling motor. I was going to hook them up in parallel but was wondering about the ability to properly charge the batteries? I know a lot guys...
I just got this boat and the previous owner told me to only use expensive gas. I looked in the ,manual and it says 87 octane is fine. Now, if he has been using high octane the since he's had it for the last few years does it matter if I use lower octane or do I need to put the higher in? Also...
In order to fit my new boat in the garage I had to move things around and put it at an angle. Still, I had to adjust the trim on the motor to make it fit. I couldn't have it all the way up and on the transom saver, and I couldn't have it all the way down since there is a ledge near the wall and...
If a 3 bank on board charger states that it handles both the wet and the sealed batteries can I charge multiple types on it?
What I mean, is if I have a sealed battery and two lead acid batteries can I hook them up to the three bank charger or do I need to have all the same type? Also, can I...
I am getting an 06 Lowe fm165s and while we were on the test drive there was something I noticed. The Previous Owner had a lanyard type thing attached to the ignition key. He wrapped it around his hand and said it should always be attached to your body to kill the engine in the event that you...
I have a small 3 gallon tank for my 4 stroke 6hp merc. I keep it in the garage and it never leaks.
I got a 6 gallon tank with my 2 stroke 20hp johnson (old- '89) and it leaks. It appears to leak out slowly at the caps when it expands. So I went and picked up a new one. I took the fitting out of...
I have this thing on my boat that the positive and ground wires hook into for my lights, bilge, anchor winch, etc. It still works but has broken in half so I would like to replace it. The only problem is that I don't know what it is called? Some kind of control box? If I were to go to a store to...
I bought this motor and now it looks like it is going to be way more work than I have time for. I think it is a late 60's model #2021. It is electric start and seems to be in good condition except for the seals and it is missing the cowling hood. I took it out once and it ran great but when I...
I have what I believe to be a '76 9.9 outboard. One of the clamps is bent or something because I broke the handle off trying to turn it and then I used a pipe wrench to turn it. Now that it is coming out the back side (tightening) it appears to be stripping.
Should I cut the end off and then...
The first is a Johnson 10 hp.
Serial - E4383185
Model - 10R76R
The second is a Chrysler 20 hp electric start.
Serial - 1061
Model - 2021
I am trying to determine the fuel oil mix on them as well. For testing that they worked I did a 50:1 ratio. Does this sound right to you guys for these two...
Hi, since this isn't a repair question but conversion, I guess this is the right place to ask....
If I pick up a used 2 stoke 25 hp outboard that is pull start can I convert it to an electric? Is this costly? I realize there are variables but assuming it is an 80's model Johnson what do you...
