    4 Stroke Oil Filter Question

    Recently aquired a pontoon with a 1999 Evinrude 50 HP 4 Stroke. Ran it a couple of times before buying...Ran good. Have had a busy time since then, about 6 weeks, and have finally gotten around to changing the oil before taking it out. Took the cowling off as instructed, got my rag ready to hold...

    How can I take it all with me?

    I have a 14' Sea Nymph aluminum boat with a 15hp 4 stroke outboard, on a small trailer; a Ford F150 short bed pickup; and a 36' motorhome. As of now, I drive the motorhome and my wife drives the truck towing the boat. Works OK for a weekend trip but, not too practical for the 2-3 month journeys...

    Motor attachment

    The owner's manual for my new 15 hp OB says I should bolt it to the transom. Is this really needed? It's a 14' aluminum boat.

    New 4 stroke prep

    A local boat dealer who gets and sells boat and motor "packages". Of course there are situations where a customer wants a different motor and there is a swap. They have a new 2003 15hp 4 stroke, in the box, and have given me a really good price on it. Since he is not anoutboard dealer, per si...

    Enough power?

    I have found a geat deal on a 2003 Johnson, 15hp, 4 stroke, for my 14' SeaNymph aluminum boat. I'm a big guy, 300 or so, and am concerned about whether or not it will get the boat up out of the water. I have a 4hp 2 stroke now, so I have very little to compare it with. I'm no speed deamon, so...

    Horsepower ratings

    I'm looking at the Nissan/Tohatsu outboards. I'm ready to get the 18hp and then realize that the 9.9 is the exact same motor. Weight, displacement, bore & stroke, gear ratio,....all the same.<br />Please tell me what they do to double the HP.<br /><br />Thanks....

    2 or 3 cyl

    Thanks to everyone for their input on my previous posts. I have one more inquiry.<br />I'm going to get a 25hp...Yamaha or Tohatsu/Nissan...With all other factors being equal, ie, service availability, price, weight, displacement,etc., would you recommend the 2cyl or the 3cyl?<br />Thanks in...

    Yamaha vs Nissan/Tohatsu

    How do the 2cyl-4 Stroke 25hp Yamaha (136lb)<br />and the 3cyl-4 stroke 25hp Nissan/Tohatsu(151lb)<br />compare for a Sea Nymph 14R...Or would the 18hp<br />Nissan/Tohatsu(115lb) be enough motor? Service is available for both makes. We usually have 500# of people plus typical fresh water...

    2 vs 4 stroke

    Considering the extra weight of a 4 stroke, would a 15hp 2 stroke preform near a 25hp 4 stroke on a small, say, 14' aluminum boat?
