    Windmill boat bettery charging

    Agreed i have thought of all your valid points, windmill makes the most sense to me at this time. Burning extra boat gas is agreed , but its easier for me to add gas than tote to lead acid batteries back and forth. Wind at boat site is very rare with its location. A generator has been a thought...

    Windmill boat bettery charging

    I have came across plenty of scams One showing a small wind turbine the looks like a small enclosed jet motor that they claim you mount on the roof of an electric vehicle that keeps you batteries charged! We all know that aint gonna work! It breaks all the laws of over unity.

    How to tell what transducer you have (Hook 5)

    If you go to settings , transducer it may already be highlighted what it is . Is it pyramid shaped? Or is the transducer like 10" long? In the water you can see what options you have on frequency and going by that and with everyones posted links you should be able to figure it out. The reason i...

    Windmill boat bettery charging

    Thought about it and it may be doable. I was thinking about using a scuba scooter, yes i would have to make mods to it but i have electronic knowledge and the equipment . Basically would have to remove its control boards and depending on what motor it uses add a bridge rectifier. Also thought...

    Windmill boat bettery charging

    Another discussion got me thinking about this . Add says will survive to 50 m/s When i go fishing seems the wind is always blowing 20 mph so it will be charging while i am fishing. Thought about something towable in the water behind me to generate power like the tidal power generation some...

    I dont know either, guess i could ask dot. I guess a blade could come off . Maybe add a fan guard just so i have a peace of mind i wont hurt anyone. With so many people texting and driving and drifting into different lanes i doubt anyone gonna be distracted these days.

    1980 Mercury 150 V6 Fuel Issues

    If you have a lot of fuel everywhere in the front of the carbs it could be moisture just getting trapped buy the 2 cycle oil. I am only trying to see if you are constantly flooding out. Thier has been so Great advice from others that you can check as well

    1980 Mercury 150 V6 Fuel Issues

    On the clear line from enricher to motor i have seen that also, with motor running. Mine looks like the fuel moves through the hose then reverses and does it constantly. Thats no big deal as long as its not constantly flowing. If you have the carbs off turn one at a time upside down so the fuel...

    Before you idle it up high make sure you are getting water out of the tell tale hose first, you dont want your motor overheating if something is not working.

    1980 Mercury 150 V6 Fuel Issues

    Still sounds like its flooding by when you rev it up it clears the sparkplugs and the cylinders start back firing. Did you use oem carb rebuild kits ? Or those that say they are compatible? What is your oil mixture ratio? Thanks Racerone, Enricher valve , that the name i could not remember. And...

I dont know what brand it is...

    1980 Mercury 150 V6 Fuel Issues

    One other thing to check. If it has the electric fuel primer that clicks when you push in the key. Remove the hose that goes to the carb with engine off and squeez your fuel line bulb and see if gas squirts out the hose. No gas should come out unless you switch on the key and push it in. Those...

    In-Line Fuel Filter Question

    I would put a fuel filter water seperator inline on it and mount it around the same height as fuel tank if possible. Roughly $30 . And a fuel stabilizer always. Nothing worse then getting towed back !
