    Suzuki 75hp

    The transom looks OK to me and should be in good working order. The purpose of the straps was to avoid buying a lower leg's Towing Bar and theoretically help the trim mechanism to reduce the excessive motor's weight stress while being car towed or with already tilt and trim problems which are...

    The use of a troller will depend entirely on the boater's location and his intended needs, down here we don't have lakes just plain open Pacific Ocean, portable range motors are used only by a few boaters as aux ones and none are propped right... Happy Boating

    But too darn costly for such a light inflatable boat, a surf rack, an horizontal wooden frame on the roof, with inflatable lying on top with small towing wheels attached on the transom if you like is all what you need, simple, effective and extremely cheap. Happy Boating

    Same as the 4 stokes version the 2 stroke 9.8 HP which is the lightest motor in the 170 CC group although being top notch in their respective groups, both needs a correct prop maximization especially if powering large applications as main or aux. In reality any motor factory delivered with a...

    Going over to inflatables.

    To take the max out of that FKS16 inflatable that 6 HP motor needs to rev at its max wot rpm range which is 6K, all portable motors factory delivered with a prop are medium pitched, are only good for break in purposes while powering large applications, afterwards the motor needs to count with...

    How to get boat launched daily when Travel Trailer camping?

    If so, install a wooden roof rack, as seen in pic, slide the inflated Sib from behind or sideways, strap the bow to the front bumper, the transom to the rear bumper, add a middle strap if you want and voila, can keep the Sib inflated on the roof as long as you want, this nice transport method...

    Intermittent water

    When doing complete motor restorations I usually manually clean all water passages and manually scrape clean carbon built up formations on the cylinder head, combustion chambers, exhaust chamber. Install new gaskets, t-stat, spark plugs, new gear oil to count with a motor that has nothing to...
