    fish finder speed sensor

    anyone have experience with these? Initially I wanted a model with gps, but since trolling speed is more important to me maybe that's the way to go, are they fairly accurate?

    Do I need a longer shaft?

    I know people say the antiventilation plate should be even with the keel, I'm maybe 4" too high. you can see from the scum line where the water line usually is. I'm getting a weird slipping thing, like the prop is cavitating and revving up

    rejetting evinrude 9.5

    Does anyone have the jet sizes, stock and the part numbers for the smaller sizes for a 1970 9.5? I swear I've seen it before but can't for the life of me find them on the forum. I need to go down about 7% in size. Thanks!

    transom too thin for motor clamps

    I'm trying to mount a kicker on a little 14' aluminum boat, and the clamps bottom out before it's tight on the transom. I was thinking about using a piece of plywood or something to add some thickness, but I don't want anything that it could pop off of and lose the motor. anyone have any...

    only 5.5 MPH with my 9.5

    I wasn't expecting a speed demon, but I was expecting closer to 10mph. boat: 14' tracker tinny, has a floor, had 400lbs of people and a couple batteries, and we're up at 5500+ feet in elevation. I noticed at full throttle the motor was not a constant RPM, it would rev up, almost like a...

    annoyed with local motor prices

    Is it just me? Maybe because it's spring and everyone is getting out there, but I can't find a decent deal on a motor to save my life. like this one http://denver.craigslist.org/boa/1742257972.html not worth that to me, maybe it is to someone or a 25 year old honda for 850 bucks? hasn't run in...

    some jerk keyed my car last night

    I really dislike society :mad: went to a show downtown last night, parked in a parking garage and the guy to my left was crooked in his spot, encroaching on mine, I parked parallel to him, then reparked as straight as I could in the spot to give both sides some room, guess the guy next to me...

    ordering online and shipping

    if you order a couple items online, and the seller, be it amazon or whoever has to ship the items from two different warehouses, what would you expect to pay for shipping? One shipping charge total for the order (say 10 bucks) or two shipping charges, one for each item (say 20 bucks)

    broken fish finder transducer wire

    I have an older eagle fish finder on my boat and it appears that the wire to the transducer has almost completely broken off RIGHT at the top of the transducer. Is there any hope of taking it apart and repairing? A new transducer is something like 50 bucks so I'd probably be best off buying a...

    anyone have a '91 guide V14?

    Kind of an odd question I guess, but I wondered if I could trouble you for pictures of the interior? I bought one last summer and I'm trying to figure out how it came from the factory and what the previous owner modified while he owned it, and thinking about redoing the floor and carpets. I've...

    storage cover prop pole question

    I ordered a westland sharkskin cover for my boat, along with a prop rod to keep the water out. On the end of the rod is a little round 1/2" tip, but on the bottom of the cover there isn't a reinforcement for the pole, shouldn't there be?

    difference between a fastwin 15hp and 18hp

    I read someone here awhile back say that the 50's fastwin 15hp "became" the 18hp, can anyone confirm? And does anyone know the difference between the motors? Thanks!

    Another motor shipping question, greyhound?

    I see there are a bunch of them in the past but none answered my question. Has anyone tried shipping a small outboard by greyhound package express? It doesn't appear that the motor has to be boxed and it's relatively inexpensive, but who knows if it'll arrive in one piece I guess. Anyone try it?
