    NMEA2000 and J1939

    I've heard the boat CAN communication is a modified J1939 network. I work with J1939 and maybe wouldn't mind programming a custom j1939 computer for the boat if it's practical. What's another grand when dealing with a boat, right? does anyone know more about the Nmea2000 standards? Is the a...

    Prop for Suzuki DF50AV?

    Does this motor use the same props as the Mercury bigfoot/CT. The are the same class of motor and look to both use 14" 15 spline props. Are they the same? Are the OEM Suzuki props the best option available or is there something better? Kicking around the idea of a 4 blade Command Thrust Prop for it.

I see two solutions that don't involve selling my brand new...

    A jet drive wont work on this pontoon boat (tubes extend beyond engine), so small prop (fewer hits, but less beef) or big prop bottom end (more hits, but more beef to take those hits)?

    Is the only difference 300 rpm? Or is there more to it?

    Repower suggestions?

    The old 28spl has been giving me problems lately, its too slow on a good day, and I get more pleasure from motoring than I do wrenching. It has a temp sensor problem, likely screwed up an impeller install (I changed because I thought it might not be a sensor problem), and I think the alternator...

    Prop suggestions

    I am completely new to power boating, but here now since a pontoon boat came with the new house. It is a 1990 22' twin toon with a manual height adjust for the outboard. I assume because of the motor being held by an adjustable linkage contraption instead of solid mounted, the boat is rated for...
