So i am part way through tearing the origanal floor out of our boat. The stringers and transom are in really good shape. So would the floor be except Sting ray thought the ski locker wiuld be a great idea and is is soft only around the cut out. So i am going to cover over it with the new...
So at the end of the boating seaon last fall i removed the bottom end from the engine to replace the impellor. I never bothered to put it back together until this weekend. And for some reason i dexided to try a rotate prop while it is in gear. Fro either the prop or the long rod that goes ibto...
I am considering purchasing a jack plate for my 90 hp . The boat is a 92 Stingray 501 zp with a 92 evinrude 90 hp v4 crossflow. I was hoping somone could point me to a decent quality Jack plate that is both light weight and good quality. From a reputable company. I was thinking of a 4 inch set...
Hello... I have a 1992 Stingray 501 zp . It is a 15 foot bow rider that i am putting a new floor in over the next week or so. My question is. The boat as it is now has an area between the front two seats that has a cut oit in it in the floor. With a wooden type of slat thing in the floor where...
Well... Just like the title says. While out in the boat this long weekend I just happened to remove the engine cover so my father could use one of those laser heat gun sensor things. To check and compare the two banks for heat. Just to be totally sure we have a bad switch in the head and not an...
So I was oit in our boat this weekend. And after a little bit of driving I started to hear a fast beeping noise from the controls . It is not a constant beep. It is a fast beep. Which I have read is for over heating ? Is that correct. However. The engine dies not feel hot at all. Not one bit...
So my prop isnt the newest in the lake. That's for sure. It has to be nearly 15 or more years old. Easily. It has a few nicks here and there out of it. None that are overly large at all per say. But one is about an 1/8th or so onto the blade and about an inch or so long. It is the biggest on. So...
In just wondering were do most people put the trim at for a good home shot. Obviously not any where near the top of the trim gauge. I wonder , is there a different position for a boat when you're just cursing vs a boat that is pulling a skiier or tuber ? I have noticed now that my boat is...
Can anyone help me figure out the amount of prop slippage I have ? I am more curious then anything to be honest. I have read a bit about it. But I'm a tad unsure as to how to work it out.
My engine is as some may know. A 1990 Evinrude 90hp crossflow. The current prop is a 13 1\4 x 17p prop...
So ive been enjoying my boats new found power and speed. From a dead stop when I floor it. It will pop out of the water and be on plane in about 2 seconds flat. As well as hit its top speed in no time flat. Or will do 44mph to 45mph. And that's verified by a gps. Although my boats speedometer...
Well I want to start this thread to see how everyone else's old crossflow v4s work.Of any up rating. Whether it be the older 88 spl or 85 hp versions. Or even the 115 and 140 hp. Or any outboard from any company really. Post it up just for fun. 😌 So as some may or may not have read in a few...
So I recently had our boat fixed. And it is stronger then ever due to the timer base being sticky for several years. My question in regards to my current prop is weather or not a new prop of the same size is in order. Or a decent ss. The current 20 year old aluminum omc 13 1/4 x 17p is a little...
So a few of you may remember a while back I had a few posts about my boat. Which is a 1992 14 foot StingRay with a V-plane hull. It has a 1992 Evinrude V4 on it. I had a few posts about the usual how to get more speed and so on. As well as a few posts about compression last summer as well. I...
Its almsot about that time that i pull our family boat out of the water at our family cottage. Every uear when i pull the boat out i clean the bottom of the hull with hull cleaner. It needs otnfor sure as it is always kwight dirty after being in the lake for 6 months. This year when i pull the...

2. 135
3. 135
4. 124 ish... ( it was just a hair below 125 )
Are these numbers good ? I was fairly impressed...
