1999 V225TLRX, 1999 Ranger Comanche 519VS
Will go into gear but won't throttle up. Remote is flush mount. No adjustment to cable at engine. Just won't go far enough to open butterflies. What's wrong?
While it's winter time and the boats' in storage, thought I'd get some insight on a problem that developed on my last trip out. I have a 19' '96 Nitro with an '86 150 Johnson. Just as it would start to plane out the motor dies like it ran out of gas. The bulb is sucked flat. My thought is the...
I have a '96 Nitro bass boat. it takes on water when i have the live well switch set to empty or auto. Will not take on water if set at recirculate. Will take on water if i use the fresh water fill. The water comes from all the screw holes from the battery boxes. There appears to be a...
I bought an '86 150. I need to put it on the boat and have a motor lift. My old '78 140 had a bracket to hook to on top the motor. What do I use for the '86?
It's a long story but I thought the alarm was for temp, but turns out was for lack of fuel. So I changed the water pump. Worked fine with muffs in driveway. Took to lake idled about for a few minutes. Alarm went off, 3 beeps only. Then would not go past 2200 rpm when I hit the throttle. Did I...
What is this engine mount called?
As you can see this will not allow the motor to be lowered. It is cavetating at normal trim. I have to bury it to stop. It has a 15x17 alum prop. Would a change in prop stop this?
Just sold my I/O and got back into outboards. Had Johnson's for over 35 years. Just picked up a '86 Pro Line 23' w/ a 175 Johnson also '86. Runs smooth but has a few issues. Biggest is steering torque. It pulls HARD to the right, wears you out fighting it. Question, which direction to adjust...
I just wanted to say thanks for all the tremendous amount of help I received on this forum. Last year I bought a 1984 21' Bayliner with an AQ131D and 280 lower. Much in need of repair and no knowledge of how or where to start. All repairs were done from advise from this forum. Don S. and his...
With the extreme mild winter here in W. Pa. [80+ last couple days] my mind draws closer to getting the boat out of storage. But must be mindful Mother Nature's not done yet. But my mind has wandered to eBay & craigslist to look for items I need, ie. new captains seats and other goodies. I ran...
Thanks to all for the responses and the tremendous help I received from this forum. Finally able to test out my boat after a 3 month long list of repairs. Boat ran fine and as i learned from posts it ran just as it should. got 27 MPH at 4600 rpm. This forum is a great source of info. I saved a...
