    Curious to what type of steering this is and what is a replacement for it.

    If you boat in the cold, hydraulics are not your friend. Think space shuttle disaster. It’s not if they leak, it’s when they leak

    Honda BF75 "Making Oil" – Need Help with Thermostat in Cold Climate

    There is little correlation between an open loop cooling water circuit and oil temps. You need to get the oil up to operating temperature and keep it there long enough to evaporate the moisture out of the oil. What do you consider a "long run"? The cooling water temp is going to naturally drop...

    Transom

    This is the 24th season for my boat. Overhead people (dad's) several times pointing out my "fishing boat" to their sons at the dock. Don't know if I should feel proud or depressed because I'm old...lol

    Honda BF75 "Making Oil" – Need Help with Thermostat in Cold Climate

    Guessing you’re running a 140 thermostat. Thermostat should not open until engine temp reaches 140 then regulate at that temp. I’m run stock 140 with by-pass hole, but had situations where we had to drill a hole in the non-vented stat to prevent the motor from overheating at idle. Had to...

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    Certainly missed the part about 4 different batteries No apparent voltage change would suggest “normal” operation but im guessing no apparent voltage change means the voltage changes as before…lol Odds are they are not bad, but he still has not ruled out that the voltage he’s looking at is not...

    EXCESSIVE smoke…

    Did you rebuilt the carbs? Replace the needle values and adjust the flats? A stuck needle will cause this condition

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    Pretty much confirms what I’ve said all along… your battery is bad. “Fully charged” is a meaningless measure of performance. All that means is the battery is at capacity. If you have a dead or dying cell, your battery capacity is reduced. If the battery is shorted internally, the regulator...

    Tilt Tube maintenance

    What motor are we talking about? Most have a grease fitting in the middle of the tilt tube to grease the rod. I have a “steering Guard” on mine which has a lube port plus o-rings to seal the tube from water intrusion. Screws on the starboard side.

    2006 F200aet overcharge 15.6volts

    Quite surprised the motor and or accessories/depth finder is not squawking loudly about the over voltage condition Test…. Isolate everything from a confirmed good battery except the motor. When/if the voltage jumps, measure your battery voltage using DC, then flip meter over to AC and try...

    Revolution limiter

    That’s not the question he asked. He asked……”if anymore is familiar with an over rev control on 1999 Johnson / Evinrude engines?”

    Trim and tilt question

    Jon boats are used in shallow, rocky rivers. The jack plate is simply there to raise the motor up to facilitate running in shallow.
