Thanks racerone, so #'s 1 and 3 are on the right? Compression test was great, all between 102-104 psi. I've looked into the readings and it seems most are between 90-110 or so. Deviation between the 4 is very slight.
Yes, orange/ blue stripe is on top, orange/ green on bottom. Grounds from power pack are secured behind coil packs against the metal tabs.
I don't run it on muffs, I have a 60 gal barrel I dunk it in. Pisses of the neighbors less. I get the relatively same behavior whether in the barrel or...
I have been trying to trace down a low RPM miss on my 2 stroke Johnson 90 and still unable to figure out the cause. It misses at idle speed up to about 1600 RPM's then smooths out. It occasionally will die out in put into gear at idle speed. Here is what I have done so far in the past 3...
I have a 2005 Johnson 90HP 2-stroke that runs great, but recently noticed it is leaking oil from all 4 carbs (looks like more from the upper 2) down the mid section and out the bottom of the cover. The last few times I've been out I seem to be going through about 1 Gal. of oil for every 15-20...
Looking for a little guidance on prop selection. I decided to switch to stainless because I mainly boat in the inter-coastal and do a lot of beaching for the family. My aluminum props eventually get dinged up from small objects in shallow waters. I have a 3 blade 14 x 17 pitch prop on a...
Recently bought a Sea Hunt 186 and first few outings I was getting low voltage readings (9.5-11v) on the GPS when motor wasn't running (everything running off 1 battery at the motor) and VHF low voltage alarm. I decided to separate the motor and electronics so I re-wired the electronics inside...
Thanks garbageguy! I upgraded from a '73 14ft Mckee to this boat, so it is truly rewarding...and new-to-me. My McKee had cracks all over the dang place but with its age I just looked the other way and kept boating. Here's a pic I took when I brought her home. I'll have to add some to my...
Just bought a used 06 Sea Hunt 186 and took her out for the first time yesterday. After returning home, while cleaning her up I noticed a cluster of hairline cracks near the drain for the anchor locker on the starboard side of the hull. I know these cracks were not present before I took it out...
I am looking at purchasing a 2007 Sea Hunt 186 CC that's got a soft spot in the deck, to the right of the center that runs about the length of the console. I inspected underneath to see if there were signs of damage, none. No gel coat cracking around the area that is soft, and hull underneath is...
So I am selling my 14ft classic McKee and looking at a 2004 McKee 1800CC Pulse. I'm wondering if you guys think $13,000 is a good deal, I talked them down from $14,500. It's got a 130 Honda motor (I checked out the serial and it doesn't appear to be in the string of problematic ones), it's a...
So I re-powered my boat last fall with a new 2015 Merc 40hp outboard. Great motor, only has 50 hours on it, but this past weekend the motor got stuck in the fully tilt-up position while mooring. I was able to free it up and get it back down simply by turning the wheel from the middle (center)...
Guys, I am new to this forum and I really need some help! Recently picked up a 14' McKee tri-hull with an '89 Mercury 40hp on it. I have taken it out about 4 times now since purchasing 2 months ago, and it seems to start fine, runs fine, doesn't shut off, but when I try to get over 50%...
