    towing - engine in neutral?

    my son gave me a plastic prop to spin in my receiver hitch - it wouldn't spin after sometime in the weather - I sometimes put my outboard in gear to stop it from spinning - but I don't think it spins much in neutral anyway , when following my wife she was pulling the boat and prop wasn't...

    Have enough HP for hole-shot ?

    Ever need more HP to get out of someone's way ? My co-worker told me he had to do that , he had to do his best hole-shot to avoid collision. He was sitting there in his bass boat when another boat went out of control and headed straight at him, he had enough HP to move fast and get out of the...

    Odyssey Battery

    Battery that old - I wouldn't trust it - don't shut the SeaDoo off while out on the water, it might not start again. As for Odyssey, they have been around a long time and have a good reputation - sounds good to me !

    BRP Selling many of its marine assets

    I wish they would do their own financing, they could lower the interest rate or go to zero interest , they would sell a lot more , then I could buy a boat instead of paying a bank !

    2004 Evinrude 115

    Thanks for the reply - I ended up getting a Key West center console with a 115 Yamaha fourstroke - I got scared of the 115 ETec I was looking at!

    2004 Evinrude 115

    I'm thinking about buying a 2004 bowrider with a Evinrude 115 on it. Is the 2004 Evinrude 115 going to give me nightmares riddled with FITCH problems ?

    spin-on gas filter

    dingbat per airshot, very good point , a plastic site glass can be very hard to see thru after a few years of exposure , I'll post another picture of my fuel system when I get it together, Thanks and thanks to all who contributed some of their knowledge

    spin-on gas filter

    I was planning on keeping the inline filter under the cowl and add the spin-on filter outside the cowl on the pressure side of the primer bulb. 10 microns spin-on. I never know what will be going on in the boat out on the river, I would like the filter and housing to be all metal in-case it gets...

    spin-on gas filter

    Portable tank, I suspect water came in through a crack in the vent and I was unaware and it got in my carb.
