    97 tracker party deck

    Sometimes, not usually. Sometimes there's an "always on" and one that only comes on if there's water.

    97 tracker party deck

    No, you won't find anything useful. Flip the switches and see what happens. Nav lights, anchor light, blower (if I/O), radio?, bilge pump, instrument lights, are a few that they might be.

    Odd shift cable fail

    Just bent the spring tabs until I got it even.

    Nola Mike is in Fl

    Just saw this, didn't think @Scott Danforth would publicly admit to meeting me in person. He even sprang for the tacos and beer!

    Wideband O2 sensor install

    Yeah I have the manual. I don't remember what I ended up with as far as combo. The secondaries do open, and then I see it really richen up. I know that my secondary jets are richer than stock, so need to go back down. The problem with a marine application vs auto is that there really isn't a...

    Odd shift cable fail

    Bellows were dry. I thought that there might be some residual junk in there after it got dunked. There had been water in there at that time. The cable was perfectly smooth when I put the drive back on the other day, but it didn't resolve the problem.

    Odd shift cable fail

    Post #3 is the resolve, no the SIS didn't fail. The failure was uneven spring tension on the plate, causing it to move much more easily in one direction than the other.

    Odd shift cable fail

    I understand exactly how it works, which is how I figured it out, thanks. Perhaps you don't understand that adjusting the tension in the spring roller, or its position (if that's what your comment was referring to, but who knows since it was so vague) won't affect the behavior that I described?

    It's that secret code? You did?

    Odd shift cable fail

    What's the update? What's the adjustment? Used a needle nose to bend the spring, also was going to use on the roller arm, but that didn't seem to be the problem.

    Wideband O2 sensor install

    I'm wondering if this thing is real sensitive to power fluctuations. I tried direct wiring the positive and negative (individually, cause I'm lazy) with no change. Pt it back, and it works occasionally. Found that the ratio is 14.2-14.9 mid range, and then fattens it over 3500 rpm. Gets into the...

    Odd shift cable fail

    So interestingly enough, it failed again almost immediately on the water. Failure was needing to pull through f->n->r to get out of gear. Going r->n caused it to stall. The cable while not perfect didn't seem overly sticky. Realized that getting out of forward the sis didn't activate until there...

    Turning point hustler 4 blade

    Old prop was a michigan 21p 3 blade, this is a 21p 4 blade. Old prop felt like it would blow out before I could trim it enough. I was hoping for more bite and stern lift with this one, but espectially better hole shot (it is vented as well). Feel like it accomplished those objectives so far...

    Wideband O2 sensor install

    Now on to the tuning! Unfortunately, the gauge is kind of wonky. It will read steady at times, but then just cycle like crazy and peg full lean. Seems like it happens over 3500 rpms mostly. It will occasionally settle down enough for me to get an idea where it's at, but not enough for my liking...

    Wideband O2 sensor install

    Been talking about installing an A/F gauge since putting in the Edelbrock 1409. Since the boat is (for now...) running well, I did "fun" stuff a couple of days ago (shift cable repair wasn't fun I guess). Cleaned the boat for the first time since it was dunked more than a year ago. Polished...

    Bah. Water in bellows.

    Update, just pulled the drive for shift cable service. Again, both shaft o-rings were broken. No water in the bellows though. FWIW, I mistakenly used an MC-1 kit (set looked identical, though different part #'s) and an el-cheapo paper gasket without the silicone beading.

    Odd shift cable fail

    Have been having trouble shifting since putting "new" drive on in the spring. Biggest issues were having to pull handle through neutral into reverse to get out of gear. No stalling. Shift cable seemed sticky, I attributed it to another delayed problem after it got swamped (cable was new in...

    Turning point hustler 4 blade

    Got to test it more yesterday. Seems a bit snappier off the line than the old one. Lower RPMs/given speed. Topped out at 49-50 mph with just me aboard, 4600 rpm. A bit lower rpm than I'd like. With 4 aboard it managed 44-4500 rpm at 47-48 mph. Basically behaved like a 23p high up. Gained some...

    Cool river sightings 2 days ago...

    Every once in a while we'll get some dolphins up here, usually just a few. This year much more than normal, seems that we have a pod coming in from the Chesapeake every few days. Got the skiff in the other day, and rode with them down river for about 7 miles. Hard to tell from the pics, but...
