    Motor Lock

    Hello, I have to trailer my boat about 10-15 miles to the nearest lake. I use a transom saver attacted to my trailer. My outboard is a 5 cylinder 150 horse, so it has some weight to it. When I go around a corner the motor pivots. Given a sharp corner with bump or two the transom saver may...

    Test overheat alarm

    I finally got my boat all cleaned up and layed in new carpet. So I started to check out the instrument panel. The tach didn't work, but a new rectifier took care of that. The horn didn't work but the wires were loose. My question is; there is nothing that looks like an alarm, siren under the...

    Dies at low speeds

    Re: Dies at low speeds Sorry, no working tach. I think my recticfier is bad or the stator. I'm am not seeing increase in volts at higher rpms, so my battery isn't charging. I get continuity from the signal wire on the back of the tach to the green wire going up to the stator. Tom

    Dies at low speeds

    Hello, Trying to back away from the dock or pull into the trailer, the motor will just shut off, unless I give it gas. After starting, it runs great in neutral at idle speed, but put it in gear it dies. I need to rev it in neutral, bring it back to idle and real fast put in to gear and give...

    Steering question

    Hello, I was out in our local river last weekend and had a lot of trouble steering. The wheel was pulling pretty hard to the left. Would a missing skeg be the culprit? Also I get a loud squecking when I turn both directions. Is there any special lube or grease I should use. Being a 21...

    20 pole to 12 pole

    Hello, Is there any way to change my 20 pole stator to a 12 pole? All the tachs I am finding are 12 pole. The only 20 pole ones I found are either used or hideous looking. Thanks, Tom

    Starting issue

    Re: Starting issue Ok, I pulled the starter. I don't have a compression tool yet so at least I can check out the starter. The only problem I have is I have no clue what I'm looking at, so I took some pics. Tom
