I have a 99' Polar 1996 model skiff with a Yamaha c90. I havent owned the boat too long. I have rebuilt the carbs and got it running really good, but it doesn't seem to have the power that I thought it would with this matchup. In the front storage area is a beat up 13x19 alum prop. On the boat...

Hey, I am trying to rebuild my fuel pumps. I ordered the 18-7820 sierra kit like all of these sites are recomending. When they got here the top screw hole wont match on the gaskets. All other holes and size of gaskets are right just seems about 1/2" to short. Anyone have a clue what the real kit...
Hey Guys, this forum has helped me many times in the past with outboard. Hopefully you can again. I have an 87' 175 txcua. First time out this year I went to open her up and couldn't get to wot. It would bog down and die. I then realized that I could hit the prime and keep her running but still...
I have an 87' rude 175. The tilt is going up really slow. Sometimes I have to help it up. Should I go ahead and replace the trim motor or is there something else that I should check first?
Hey Guys, I am heading down to Panama City on Sun. Was hoping somebody new of some good fishing spots around there. I grew up in south fl and had plenty around there, but north fl is outta my realm. I am taking my 19' Trophy and was hoping to get into some good fishing. Anyone with any advice...
Hey Guys, I have been reading some of the posts on here and getting some ideas as to my problem. I have an 87' evinrude 175 TXCUA. It has an aluminum 14.5 x 21 prop. My boat is an 18'8" Bayliner C/C. I am having a problem with the motor shutting down at wot only after being out on the water for...
I am trying to remove the foot on my rude 175. Don't know the year but the model number is E 175 TXCUA and the serial is R 1500554. The shift linkage is being a pain in the butt. Does anyone know any secrets and are there any other things that I should watch out for. I am pulling it to replace...
Hey, I just bought a 87 Bayliner center console with a 175 Evinrude outboard on it. I took it out last week and it ran great. Took it out again today and it ran fine for most of the day. I ran it about 3/4 throttle for about 10 mins and when I slowed down it started knocking and stalled. It...
I have a 92 tracker nitro with a johnson 115. Its been sitting for a few months. We had our first warm weekend of the year and I charged the battery in my boat and tried to start it. The starter first just spun free without engaging. I then engaged it myself and it would barely turn the motor...
I have a minn-kota pontoon. Its either a 54 or 56 lb thrust. It is a 24 volt. It worked great until a hard day of waves. I sat waiting for my friend to back the trailer in the water with some good waves and current. I had the motor running the whole time but was not moving much. The motor still...
I just bought a 92 Nitro FS180. None of the switches for bilge, aerator, lights, etc.. work. Is there a main fuse block somewhere I am not seeing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey everyone. I just bought a 92 Tracker Nitro with a 115 johnson. The biggest problem is getting on plane. This motor should have plenty of power to plane this boat. It sounds good just won't get plane until I get weight forward. So when I take off I have to stand in front of the boat. If...
Hey, I just bought a 92 Tracker Nitro FS180 Bass Boat. It is a great boat with a few minor problems. I don't get any power to any of the switches for bilge, aerator, lights etc. I thought there would be a fuse block somewhere but have not been able to locate it. I'd like to have my aerators and...
