    Pontoon prop

    Last spring I bought a Grumman Funship 24(24 foot pontoon) with a 1999 Nissan 50HP(NS50D). The current prop is an 11.0x12.4 Nissan# C13.5. I need to replace it because I am only able to get to 4400rpm's with a light load and about 4000rpm's with my normal load. The NS50D's WOT RPM range is...

    1989 Johnson 28 SPL Sputter at WOT

    I recently changed the prop on my 1989 Johnson 28 SPL to reach higher rpm's. I was barely able to reach 4000 rpm's before the new prop. First trip out it ran so much better with the new prop, but when I reach 5000 rpm's it starts to sputter(like it is cutting out). At first I thought that it...

    Bilge pump

    I have a 14' Cutter fiberglass runabout and I want to install a bilge pump. My question what size should I use and if I use a float switch how deep will the water be when it shuts off? How about manual switch? I have heard that some leave as much as 1 1/2" of water. <br /><br />Thanks
