So I got a new transom pod rated to hold my motor since the last one wasn't and we had a failure. Since the new pod is alot stronger than the old one and larger. Should I move it back some the the engine is further away from the boat? And my next issue is the motor mounting, since the bottom of...
I am helping out my cousin with his boat. He let a friend store it over the winter as long as he could use it from time to time. Needless to say the boat was not returned in the same condition. Blown fuse on starter, tripped breaker on motor, fuel issue either water or trash in it prop slipping...
my pontoon(24ft) had a motor up grade to a johnson 150 fast strike before I purchased it. Me and my cousin reinforced it to handle the extra weight. It did great last season and good until last weekend. When I was getting ready to put it in the water I noticed the transom looked like it was...

Hey everyone I got a 24 foot pontoon at the end of last summer. I had to replace the floor on it so I didn't get to use it to much. It had a motor swap by the last owner. It is running a johnson 150 fast strike. It has a 14x24 prop on it and I am pretty sure that is not what I need for my...
the pontoon i just bought is 1995 landau pontoon dx-24. the PO switched out the motors from a 50 to a 150. They mounted the controls in the wrong spot so you can not go full throttle or even up to cruising cause it hits the helm. My question is should I reinforce the transom before I move the...
Hey everyone I recently got a pontoon for the family and today was the first day I took it out. While riding I noticed it started to run rough and a few seconds after I had an alarm go off. I shut the motor down and waited a minute I restarted it and resumed cruising again. Shortly after it did...
I have an 87 eagle fish and ski 17 ft with a johnson 140. The transom has a crack and I am not not sure how to proceed. I tapped on the back of the transom and it seems solid every where else. I don't know if I should pull the motor off and the top of the boat so I can get to the transom. Or...
1987 140 vro already disconnected. When I first got this boat a few months ago I had to clean the carbs out to get it to run been sitting a while. After cleaning the carbs and fresh plugs and gas/oil mixture it runs great, until yesterday. It idles fine and revs fine with the fast idle lever...
This is the first out board I have owned. First two stroke I have owned also. I just got it and cleaned the carbs out changed the plugs and got it to fire up. Tomorrow after work I plan on changing the water pump impeller and the gear oil. My question is How do I change or can I change the oil...
I just picked up a 1987 eagle 371 thats been in dry storage for 3 years. It has a 140 hp on it. I know the gas is bad that is in it. I shoot some starting fluid into the air box to see if the motor was good and it tried to start. So how should I go about getting all the old gas out of the carbs...
