    Any jet boaters out there.

    I give up on this gutless turbojet hamster wheel. My hull is rated for 150hp so figuring a 25% loss for the jet pump that's a potential for a 200hp engine. I do not want a dragster but I do want a jetboat capable of 50-60 mph. Still in the concept stage just trying to pick a few brains out...

    Good I/O setup for repower

    That does it, I have been refining and tuning my omc turbojet to where it runs as best it can. Was a great fishing boat until last weekend when some *#!@ head stole the drive off the back of my boat. Just replaced all the bearings and a new 700 dollar impeller to boot. :mad: Anyways I am now...

    evinrude jeera115 flywheel warped

    I've been running the motor with this flywheel #583339 which has a slight warp to it. I noticed the warp prior to my rebuild and it has been on my to do list for a while. It is slight probably 1/8 or so but did not effect starting so it got pushed back on the list. I keep checking on ebay...

    Jet pump tolerances

    Been fiddling with my turdbojet for some time now. It is a 1994 115jeera. Irregardless, in a jet pump, I'm sure jet skis are similar in design, shouldn't there be a very minimal clearance behind the trailing edge of an impeller and the stator vanes which direct the water flow out? Isn't that a...

    115 evinrude carb jet question

    Checking thru my manual it states I have three pairs of jets per carb. High speed, intermediate, and idle air. My question is in regards to the intermediate jet. Is considered a low speed fuel jet? A buddy offered me a set of boyesen reeds and it states I either downsize my idle air jet or...

    115 0mc low speed jets

    LOL my question describes my boat. But seriously. I'm thinking about increasing my low speed jets to help smooth out the idle. You know how an omc turbojet will clunk and stutter if the rpms are low. Even when I have my 115 idling at around 1500 and it still can't get rid of the backlash...

    dry carbs

    Is it normal for the carbs on a 94 115 to be bone dry after sitting all winter. Went to drain the bowls before firing it up and was suprised there was no gas.

    PT plywood and aluminum

    12yr. old floor of my boat had waterlogged pt plywood which stank but was relatively sturdy. When I pulled up the floor there was no shims keeping it off the aluminum stringers. I have heard chemicals in pt cause bad things to happen to aluminum. Other than a whitish color to the aluminum...

    plywood decking replacement

    I am replacing the vinyl flooring on my 94 jetcraft. I have had the floor apart recently to address some large dents from a previous owner. I noticed alot of water staining as it was just bare wood. What is a good paint to use to seal the new plywood sheets and still allow good adhesion of...

    trolling motor mounting question

    Re: trolling motor mounting question This is the way my boat was set up. Looks a little unusual but seems to work just fine. I do like how it is clear of the anchor line. The mounting plate appears to be 1/4" and there is a spacer underneath. 3 bolts hold it down two run directly thru the...

    Aluminum hitch eyelette distorted

    Re: Aluminum hitch eyelette distorted Bow eye, got it. So simple yet...beyond my brain at the time. Not to stray into different waters but part of my concern is the tension on my bow eye due to the location of some kind of keel guide at the front of my trailer. When I pull out of the water...

    Aluminum hitch eyelette distorted

    Re: Aluminum hitch eyelette distorted Sorry, didn't quite know how to phrase my ? Camera was dead and kids raided my battery stockpile. Was thinking about some kind of stainless shackle but with a spacer that would just fit the hole. I changed out the way too big hitch hook that was...

    Aluminum hitch eyelette distorted

    Before it gives way and requires welding is there a way to keep my hitch from distorting the welded eyelette on my '94 jetcraft. Is there some kind of stainless spacer kit with a ring to latch to?

    '94 115 sneeze from carbs

    Took the boat out and had a great test drive upriver. About halfway down river I started to smell gas a bit and lost a few 100 rpm. Throttled down to idle and the engine sputtered and sneezed. Throttled back up and ran back to the dock. Checked carbs and found problem with linkage...
