Hi,
I have a 1999 30HP 4-Stroke Honda on a 15ft Aluminum fishing boat. When cruising at lower speeds if you apply full throttle the motor bogs as if it was going to stall. If you back of to 3/4 throttle it runs fine and gradually picks up speed. Once the boat is running at higher speeds you...
I am considering buying a used 1998 seadoo 1800 sportser boat equipt with 2 twin 85hp engines.
I've never owned a jet drive boat before and was wondering if they are high maintenance engines compared to regular outboards. Also, is there anything I should be aware of when buying seadoo.
Thanks...

I just ordered a new boat with a 2007 Mercury Optimax. To say the least I'm very excite, counting the days to ice out!
I was wondering if I should use supreme octane fuel in the engine or not. The manufacturer calls for 87 octane but if using a higher octane fuel is a better fuel for the...
Hi all,
I sold the ol' 14' Springbok last spring and have ordered a new Crestliner. It's gonna have a 75hp Optimax on it. I know these engines are DFI so I was wondering if it requires supreme fuel or not? As far as I know it only requires regular fuel. Would there be any advantage to use...
I'm buying a new Crestliner Fish Hawk 1600SC in the spring and it comes equipt with a Motorguide W45 Wireless 54" (12V) trolling motor. Has anyone had the oportunity to use Motorguide's new wireless system yet? How do you like it? Pro's, con's?? Like to get some feedback before I decide to...
I'm buying a new 16' Crestliner Fish Hawk in the spring.
I'm trying to decide between a 75hp Optimax and a 75hp 4-stroke.
I'm really leaning towards the Optimax, as I know the performance is better from hole shot to top end and the fuel economy is basically the same as a 4-stroke.
The only...

I have a 1988 25hp Evinrude tiller.<br />A while back I noticed that there were some drops of oil on my garage floor under my lower end so I replaced the propshaft seals and put in new oil. The old oil had some water in it as I suspected.<br />I used the boat for a few weeks and checked it...
I have a 1988 Evinrude 25Hp Tiller.<br />What should the WOT rpm be?<br />If the rpm is lower then it should be and I want to change my prop pitch should I go with a higher pitch or lower? I was thinking higher??
I have a 1988 25HP Evinrude. <br />Is there an easy way to increase it's performance? For example would I notice any difference if I started using supreme gas instead of regular gas? Would it be more responsive or have a bit more get up and go?<br />The motor is running fine, just curious if...
Hey all... It's been a looooong winter!<br />I have 1988 25hp Evinrude Tiller Handle.<br />The throttle cable is starting to bind up in the casing where it bends when you fold the tiller arm back. I'm assuming that I have to replace the cable. Does anyone know the procedure to do this? <br...
I have a transom mount Minn Kota trolling motor that I have now installed on the bow....<br />Works great but the shaft(not the handle) is about 2-3" to short.<br />Any ideas as how to extend it? I was thinking about replacing the shaft, but how do you get the motor off of the end of the...
