I'm going to have to remove that statement regarding WOT so y'all stop tripping over it and falling down on your face before being able to read the whole post and understanding the question I was asking.
I was curious what the "rule of thumb" ratio was used when installing an outboard bracket...
The boat is a '79 SeaOx 23ft Center Console I restored. I agree with you dingbat and understand all hull's react different. I'm hoping once I get it working right I will know for sure. I've just read and been told different ratios between setback and outboard mounting height and wanted to see...
I really appreciate your concern racerone however, this is not a thread to determine what's wrong with my motor. This is also the non-repair outboard forum. My question was about the mounting height of my outboard. In an effort to get info on other individuals running their motor on a bracket...
No, having issues getting it to run under load. Just falls flat on its face and stalls. The bracket as you can see in the first pic is about 1/8" from the Bottom of the hull so unfortunately moving the bracket down any more isn't an option.
I had this bracket build by a local machine shop. I'm looking for input on the mounting height of the outboard I'm running (25" shaft) and if it is too high. It's set on the lowest setting. I'm in the process of attempting to get it to run right as I'm unable to get it to WOT and see if I...
I took the carbs apart, cleaned with carb cleaner, inspected for debris and then reassembled. I took quite a while I might add not being in a contolled environment and trying to get every piece of dust, or lint floating around in my garage from getting inside. Hopefully these help. At first when...
The carbs have been checked and cleaned. The bowls and needle seats were super clean. No signs of contaminants or debris. The tank is a brand new Moeller as well as all the fuel lines and filters. I'll check the compression tomorrow and report back. Thanks for the help.
I'm at about my wits end with this motor. I'll try to be as descriptive as possible and not take up too much of your time.
Issue: Doesn't rev up when in gear, gets around 2k rpm +/- shutters and doesn't rev up. Runs fine in the yard on muffs or in the water and revs up quickly in neutral...
