    What would cause my FSK16 to not be propelled by my Johnson JW10 3hp?

    You can use the squeeze bottles, but they can become messy quick. The pumps that fit the quart bottles are much easier and cheap to buy.

    Suzuki 20hp … add a bit of power

    Unless I screwed up my math, 381 cm is around 150 inches tall.....that would be one really long shaft !! Now, if you meant 381 mm then yoy woukd need a 15" length or what is considered a short shaft. The cav plate needs to be slightly below the bottom of your boat.

    Boat floor attachment

    Yes, unless you add a small dab of silicone or my preference is " goop" ...I like the idea of being able to remove the floor if needed, to each his own, but never had a screw come loose with a dab of goop before you screw it in.

    What would cause my FSK16 to not be propelled by my Johnson JW10 3hp?

    The water pump is actually quite simple and easy, there are U tube videos on that, the screw on the lower unit can be reused, it is the gasket washer under the screw that keeps water out. Last ones I bought were 3 for less than 5 bucks. Once you drop the leg and look inside the pump, you might...

    Propeller Pitch Selection

    You need to know what rpm that prop is turning at wot. Then adjust the pitch until you get max engine rpm at wot. If you think the current prop is under pitched, then beg, borrow or steal a higher pitched prop so you can get that important max rpm at wot. Do you have a friend that might let...

    I feel sorry for where you live. Knowing those things, I choose to live in areas where shooting is legal. Even in our areas, the shooter is fully responsible for his projectile, no matter where it lands. I actually search for such laws when I move or build. On my road, every household has a...

    Beg to differ there, been shooting for over 60 years, never in those years have I ever shot something I did not intend to shoot !! When in close quarters you use less powerfull airguns, even if a fiberglass boat were shot, it would just leave a mark no holes.

    Never had to shoot at fiberglass, in fact, never hit anything I didn't intend to shoot. With the correct pelket choice the pellet never leaves the critter, even as small as a chipmunk !! Controlled pesting it is called, been doing it for 25 years.
