    Drop in floor weight

    I have a new Lund SSV-16 on order which will be powered by an E-tec 30hp tiller version. I ordered it with the optional drop in floor which was highly recommended by both the dealer and others on this forum. I want to keep weight down but ordered the floor because so many raved about it but...

    How does altitude effect carb adjustment on 25 hp johnson

I live in Denver(5200') but as most boaters who live here do I leave the sea level high speed jets in the carb and just drop 2 " prop pitch with good results here. Some guys change jets for...

    Any experience with the new 25/30 hp e-techs

    Proper mounting height for 25hp Johnson on a Lund

    I have a really well kept 1997 25hp 2cyl Johnson Long shaft on a 1997 Lund SV14 14 ' aluminum 20" transom. I just recently raised the engine about 3/4 inch (one mounting hole) and put a little block on top of the transom. I've yet to water test but the anti cav plate is now about even with the...

    Proper size outboard for Lund SSV-16

    I am considering replacing my current 1997 Lund SV 14/25hp Johnson with a New SSV 16 / Evinrude 30Hp E-tech. I use it for casual fishing, river trips, lakes etc. My current boat maxes out at sea level (13" prop) at 25 mph with 2 adults aboard. I would like my new rig to max out at 30mph so I...
