I have a 1987 Forrester Phantom 164 16' Bowrider. It weighs 750 Lbs. And I usually carry 3 adults and several children. Do plenty of tubing and water skiing.
Presently running a mariner 140Hp outboard motor. Want to re power the boat and need guidance for proper motor sizing.
I have a 1979 Mariner 140 Hp. outboard. It is tough to get started and I often have to also use my power pack to get more RPM's as it is trying to start. Once it is running it will start with a touch of the key. But once it cools down the whole process starts again. Anyone ever experienced...
