    Drowned Yammy 130

    I just got home from a trip to pick up a boat I bought from a salvage outfit. It originally had a '92 Yamaha 130 on it.<br /><br />That engine, with all of the cables and harness cut, and unbolted from the transom, lay under salt water long enough to grow some barnacles. I think someone tried to...

    Appropriate sentence for OBL?

    One of my daughters (great genes) suggests that we can end the whole thing by changing all of the male terrorists we catch to women and sentence them to live in Afganistan under the Taliban. Sounds like a great idea to me.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

    Interphase Scanning Fish Finders

    Who know something about these units? I am interested in the Sportsman model but can't find any data on it. According to their web site the new models either scan horizontally in front and to the sides of the boat or they scan vertically in front and down or both. Their Email site is down and...

    Is the trailer really hooked up???

    This is really painful to talk about. Shortly after I had finished the functional restoration of Sunshine III I bought a tow vehicle I couldn't afford (unless I keep her for at least five years). <br /><br />I had a crew of odd-job men working on my ranch and needed to move Sunshine III so they...

    Dylan Mitchell's OMC 70 hard starting cold

    Hey Dylan. I saw your question that got lost in another topic.<br /><br />You are leaving the choke out of the starting sequence. To choke the engine, push the key in (you should hear a click from the engine). Turn it over a few times with the key pushed in, then release it. If it doesn't fire...

(Been there, done...

    Too much/Not enough Sonar stuff

    Yes, that's right. I have too much of some stuff and not enough of other stuff.<br /><br />I have an old Humminbird LCR4000, complete, that I took off of my Whaler because it took up too much room on the console. I broke the coax lead to the Xducer when I took it out, but splicing coax is not a...

    90 hp Yamaha Possible scored cylinder

    Howdy, Vis. First, do a compression check. All cylinders should show over 100#, with no more than 15# spread. A scored cylinder will show low compression, but so can other things.<br /><br />If possible, inspect the cylinder walls through the spark plug hole, if not remove the cylinder head and...

    Hey, New Boater!! Getting started.

    Below are suggestions to help your introduction to being a boater less traumatic and less expensive.<br /><br />Boats are not cars.

    Eagle depth/fish finder

    Been garage sale-ing again. Picked up an Eagle SupraPro I.D. with no stand, do***ents, power cord or transducer for $5. Also got a 192KHz PT-WS wide angle transducer for a buck. If either works I got a real deal. If neither works I've only lost six bux.<br /><br />The electronics unit uses only...
