    CROSSFLOW PERFORMANCE ?'s

    No it does not. Just grasping at straws here... Could making sharp turns (tbh, I did a couple of rather tight "figure 8's) cause the fuel pump to suck air or perhaps do something to the float(s) in carb(s). Again, just guessing.Most bass boats have fuel tanks under the seats ,but mine is an...

    CROSSFLOW PERFORMANCE ?'s

    So, I'm wondering if I should have yet another battery for my fish finders. If I were to do that, is there any way to have that battery charged by the motor, as well as the cranking battery? Or will a freshly charged batter, used only for my fish finders, last all day on one charge?

    CROSSFLOW PERFORMANCE ?'s

    Hello, I have a 1978 Johnson 115hp V4 on my '82 Ranger bass boat. This morning after fishing I decided to fool around a bit. I've spent the last two years restoring this boat & motor and I wanted to see how it handled, top speed, etc. I always run it WOT from one fishing spot to the next, but...

    78 TO 82 115HP CARBURETOR SWAP??

    Yes. the tubes go to intake and carbs. I've decided to just pull the carbs off the 78 and rebuild. The 82 isn't necessarily a "parts motor"...more like a "spare motor" that I plan on using if/when the rings break on the 78. I should probably not start picking parts off of it and keep it complete

    78 TO 82 115HP CARBURETOR SWAP??

    I have the electric primer valve. Can I convert my choke solenoid type to the primer type? (Actually, I have been wanting to do away with the choke solenoid setup. The plastic clip on the end of the plunger was brittle and snapped in half. I repaired it with epoxy, but I think that made it too...

    78 Johnson 115 Carb Kit??

    Hello, I'm looking for a carb kit for my 115ETL78C. The info on my usual parts websites is conflicting. crowleymarine doesn't recognize 115ETL78C, but gives me 115ETZ78C, for which the carb kit is p/n 0439076. They are a bit pricey so I went to wholesalemarine to look for a Sierra kit. They give...

    Damaged spring seat!

    my trailer is configured like the lower one in your pic. I want to keep it that way. I want to use the spring seat (in my pic above) in between the axle and spring. The spring seat holes that are drilled into my axel are damaged and will allow the spring to slide on the axle. My question was if...

    Damaged spring seat!

    Here is the a pic of the spring seat I'm thinking of buying, along with new hardware and bushings, of course. And a pic of the leaf springs. I'm not sure if they are two completely different sizes or one has stretched. Port side spring is 25 1/2" eye-to-eye with 3 1/4" arc. Starboard spring is...

    Damaged spring seat!

    So...In just took off the starboard components(the first one I took off was port side) . What I found was somewhat disturbing. Apparently, there are TWO holes drilled in the axle!

    Damaged spring seat!

    Hello, I have a 1982 ranger trail single axle trailer and Ranger 330V of the same year. My issue is with the axle and suspension. It is a 2x3 drop spindle axle. I was going to replace the shackle plates and bolts because, with the boat off the trailer, it appeared to be loose. After removing...

    Battery failed load test. I'll get a new one and report back with the results. Any recommendations for a good start battery for these motors. I will also run a sonar/GPS fish finder, Nav and stern lights, bilge pump, and gauges off this battery. Thanks
