I just bought a new sea fox. It has a Yamaha F150XB engine (150hp 4 stroke). When it is in neutral, everything is quiet. When I have it over 1,000 rpm, it is quiet. If a I put it into gear at low RPM's (500-700) it has a grinding noise. It sort of sounds like when you slow shift Into gear and it...
I recently bought a 2016 sea fox 206 commander. I didn't get a chance to talk with the techs and I'm trying to figure out all the assessories. There are four switches on the accessory panel. The second one controls the lights on the t-tops. I am not sure what one, three, and four are for. Anyone...
I'm about to buy a 2017 sea fox 206 commander. I have quite a few options and upgrades. The dealer's price for me after all upgrades (including a few free and extras) was $47,200. I got to agree to $45k. Sound reasonable?
Main thing for upgrades was a 9" GPS, down imaging, side imaging, echo...
I'm looking at buying a 22' boat that has a 2006 Evinrude 200 ETEC High output 2 cycle outboard. I've seen a few online listings about people having problems with this engine. Again, a few customer's could always ruin a name so I figured I'd ask here where there is a non-bias opinion. Also...
I currently have a 2007 19.5' boat with a sterndrive 3.0 mercruiser (it is the TKS carb'ed version). I'm getting pretty decent fuel economy in my opinion. I'm looking to upgrade to a 22' cc boat that has a 2006 200 HO ETEC 2-stoke Evinrude outboard. It is fuel injected so I'm sure it will be...
I had the 2007 TKS mercruiser 3.0 135hp carb/engine service manual to set timing, tune carb, etc... I recently switched to windows 10 and I lost all my saved documents in the upgrade. Can you please send me the link again? I couldn't find it in your sticky'ed threads on the main page. Thank you...
I currently have a bayliner discovery 195. It serves a good propose fishing in the bay. I want to get a boat to fish offshore in at least 20' long but got my first one quoted over $50k (mako). Anyone have some advice at which brands are good and what exactly I should look for?
i live in Savannah, GA but have a trip planned in July to head down to Key Island, FL. I'm bring my boat (19.5' bay boat) down to fish. Someone said that I need flourocarbon line since the water is clear and regular line will spook the fish. They said yellowtail snapper is the main fish to catch...
I've got a 2007 Bayliner discovery 195 with the mercruiser sterndrive 3.0 (135hp). It has the 14.5 prop at 21 pitch. It is the basic black painted aluminum 3 blade. My engines WOT is 4400-4800. With this prop, it will rev up to 5,150 rpm if I test its max in the water. What can I use to gain...
I've got a 2007 135hp 3.0 mercruiser alpha 1 with the tks carb (bayliner discovery 195). The choke (tks) solenoid stopped working. As a temporary fix I adjusted the idle up slightly and pump the throttle about 8 times before starting. Rough start but is perfect after it warms up. I went to...
I'm along the GA coast just south of Savannah. I went out with a friend that took me all the way into the sound opening with my boat and went down a creek to a fallen tree. He used a fiddler crab and pulled out a few sheepsheads about 16"-20" long. They looked fun to catch; although...
I just installed my first fishfinder by mounting the transducer by the "thru hall" method. I have a 2007 bayliner discovery 195. It has the keel pad and I used a two part epoxy to set it. It is reading the depth perfectly based on my depth finder but I think it may be getting some...
I looked online and it says to connect two white wires from the distributor together and bypass the switch. The only issue is that my distributer doesn't have two loose white wires like it says. It does have purple wires disconnected but the manual I read has "white" in bold lettering so I...
I've got an 07' Bayliner with the 3.0 mercruiser engine. It was sitting for about 6 months. The idle is giving me a slight problem and I'm suspecting some small debris/clog in the carb. I'm mechanically inclinded but never rebuilt a carb. The boat is only 5 years old so I don't believe it...
I've got a 3.0 tks engine with alpha 1 drive. I am trying to get the idle down to spec (650 rpm). It currently was idling smoothly at 1,100 rpm. I tried lowing idle speed at the carb and got it down to around 900 with minor stubbling. If I lower it any further, it stalls. I checked timing...
