    right prop

    With the compression being even, the motor may run welk and even make peak rpm, but the low compression keeps the motor from making peak HP... Under load your motor will be weak. I would try the ring free stuff, it just might help

Yes ut will scratch unless you are very carefull, but ploycarb wont break !!! It does...

    Need a New battery ,got more for less at Wallyworld....I think

    I am another person that has not had good service from Interstate batteries. The couple that I have owned died prematurely, I replaced them with walley world batteries and had a good 5-6 years of service from them. The old Sears Die Hard were the best, often had them for 6-7 years, but like all...

    That rough scaley area and sort of powdery stuff is corrosion. Where the surface has pitted and become rough is corrosion. It happens to old aluminum. Wire brush, scrape, sand blast, etc to remove what you can then seal with gluvit.

    16ft lund aluminium boat add kicker motor

    Over my 50 plus years of boating, I have had the need to run numerous outboards off center by as much as 3-4" without issue. Just need a slight counterbalance. In my much younger days when wooden boats with tiller motors were popular, it was common to offset the motor to give the driver more...

    Runs great on muffs but not in lake

    If your sure the carb is clean and in good working order, then fuel adjustments and idle speed " must be set in the water while in gear and underway" this is a quote from the factory service manual!! Adjustments will not work when on muffs or a test tank. Get everything working properly, fuel...

    No power to new Kenwood stereo reciever

    If you have known draws on your battery, like the radio, then install a battery maintainer/ charger so you can just plug in your boat when not using it, battery will always be charged and ready and you will still have your settings. Actually better for your batterys health !!

    I would imagine so especially around salt water...fact is when the tires are removed you will see how good the wheels are. Some folks even want new wheels if the old ones are looking shabby. Just stay away from cheap import mail order tires, unless your gonna sell it right away and want it to...

    Dead battery after sitting on trailer

    Chances are your vattery is now junk, Batteries normally dont come back after a complete discharge. Less than a year old will probably fall under a replacement warranty. Even if this battery comes back to life, it will be a short one. If you can get a replacement, then consider a two battery...

    Correct...I always made a habbit of smelling the air comming out the rear facing outlet checking for fuel odors. Get a piece of hose and get it down under the motor if you can but keep it out of any water in the bilge

    mounting a bilge pump

    Over the years I have made numerous pump brackets from a piece of aluminum sheet metal. Bilge pumps dont create any force, so it just needs to hold them in position at the deepest spot in your hull. Bend an angle in the sheetmetal arm to attach it to wherever. Screws, clamp, glue, tape, again...

    What are the best ST225/75R/15 boat tires?

    Yep, the tire mfgrs get together and decide what is best for them, then get it apporoved by the transportation safety board. I can remember when new tires had 3/8" of tread depth or more in some cases, byt not anymore if your lucky you might find 11/32, but many are only 5/16".... subtract the...

    sd 25175 d14 replacements

    Shop at a quality tire store, forget bargain tires thru mail order sources. Quality tires will also get some kind of warranty with them. Dont be afraid to look for reviews from consumers on various mfgrs.
