    1975 115hp throttle valves not fully open?

    I'm inspecting things under the cowl this weekend and I notice the throttle valves are not fully opening when the throttle is pushed to wide open. I have a manual and everything is set to spec on the carb linkage and cam follower, however, the butterflies are not fully opening at full throttle...

    1996 175hp EFI Offshore warmer on starboard head?

    I was helping some friends today with a 1996 175hp EFI offshore. My observations were it took a while to get the water to come out from the tell tale. We figured this happened because the pisser line is plumbed in behind the thermostats, so it wouldn't **** until the stats opened. Decided to...

    compass installation

    I guess I didn't plan this out very well when I started installing my gadgets on the top dash. GPS didn't go on t-top cause t-top came after GPS. I have a small space in front of the humminbird gps dome that I can put a basket style compass. Will the electronics or gps sensor interfere with the...

    need to patch gelcoat - got the evercoat kit

    I have a fairly new Mako 2101 I need to do a little patch on. I thought I was done finding the "bone head" boat center mistakes but it looks like one struck a couple of weekends ago. Apparently a lock nut was not used on one of the boat rollers on the bottom front of the trailer. The roller fell...

    optimax and kicker motor - fuel/water seperator manifold

    Hi, I have an 07 200hp optimax. I'm adding a 9.8 nissan 4 stroke kicker. My plan is to cut the main fuel line to the optimax and install a fuel/water seperator. I've noticed some of these inline filters have additional ins/outs to function as a fuel manifold. The one I saw at wally's has a...

    engineering help with homemade kicker bracket

    Re: engineering help with homemade kicker bracket Thanks for the thoughts guys. After contemplation, I've come up with a different design. It's similar to the mount jrs_diesel posted but a little bigger and not made of solid channel. I wish I had my measurements and creative thoughts right the...

    engineering help with homemade kicker bracket

    It's been probably a month since I posted last about kicker brackets. I've come to the conclusion that nothing on the market will work for my application, mainly due to the mounting space I'm dealing with. I now have an idea that I think will work and be cost effective at the same time. I need...

    panther 4 stroke bracket

    Once I figure out if I need 10" of travel or 16" of travel I'm going to order one of these. Anyone have any experience with this particular heavy duty model? Part # 550410 or 550416 I can't find any reviews or information regarding how well it works/holds up...

    2011 nsf9.8a3ef2 - out of box rough idling

    Hi there and Merry Christmas. I recently ordered a nissan 9.8 4 stroke to use as a kicker on my CC Mako. Today I figured I'd start it up for the first time and see what happens. I put the oil in, fuel, etc and pulled the rope. It started on the third pull with full choke. I let it run for...

    kicker motor installation - pic of transom

    Hello. I have a 2008 Mako 2101 CC. I'm wanting to install a 9.9 kicker for going offshore. I think my only option to do this is with one of those bracket deals that raise up and down. Is this my best option for this style of boat/transom? Any comments appreciated.

    85 120 - 5 pin connector - what does it do?

    There's a little 5 pin round water tight connector that runs into the main wiring harness bulkhead at the cowl right around the area where the fuel line comes in. In that plug there is a light blue/white that seems to be making a bad connection. Is it possible, that any of these wires in the...

    optimax fuel filter canister

    2007 optimax 200hp - Posting this to aid others in the future. If you need to change your fuel filter and you have the red cog type filter canister, do yourself a favor and purchase the filter removal tool. Even though the manual says to use a screw driver to remove, it doesn't work. Once you...

    opinion of 1960 10hp evinrude? Sort of urgent.

    I'm considering buying a 10hp evinrude and using it as a kicker for my boat when I go offshore. It is, as the topic says, a 1960 10hp evinrude in very good shape. Real clean under the hood and supposedly runs good. I did a search and didn't come up with much other than the talk of a weak lower...
