    [SPLASHED] I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    funny, seems like I remember on here someone posting that 3500-3600 +/- rpm seems to be that sweet mpg for most boats. It actually is for my pontoon.

    2021 Merc. 115hp CT, sputtered again running about 4000 rpm?

    I've got to find out exactly what type of fuel module I have. Preliminary searches show an older styled module was changed after 2018. That had 2 pumps in it and had a repair kit available. It also runs about $1300+. I'm sure I have a VST...just gotta look it up. I have a smartcraft tach but...

    2021 Merc. 115hp CT, sputtered again running about 4000 rpm?

    no primer bulb on my line. A 2021 doesn't need it. pickup tube/screen checked, tank checked, new tank fitting with new check valve, new fuel/water separator, new, black marine fuel line. new plugs. some sources are pointing to the fuel supply module (cha ching) . You can't hear this motor at...

    2021 Merc. 115hp CT, sputtered again running about 4000 rpm?

    well, just jnside the fuel rail is one, but it's involved to get to. But how can I run 5-5500 rpm and no sputter if filters are the problem. that would be the first go to filter to change, yep. I bet that 150 does have the fuel rail filter.

    2021 Merc. 115hp CT, sputtered again running about 4000 rpm?

    well....after yesterday, I'm sympathizing with you and looking for answers again myself. This is a 2021 Merc. 115hp CT, purchased new. I thought I had solved my issue. Yesterday, it sputtered again running about 4000 rpm. Not a good feeling single engine on the Bay at 7 pm 45 minutes from my...

    Cleaning mold and mildew from vinyl seats

    another one to try. My custom cover is "trying" to develop mold at one corner. I don't want it transferring to my expensive 2 year old complete vinyl redo. Afraid of using straight, even diluted bleach, on the cover.

    2013 Mercury 4-stroke 115hp – 115EXLPT - Prop?

    trying to understand what is meant by "too much for the 115". All the engine cares about is rpm@WOT. I've got a 2021 115 Merc. Currently running a 4 blade 14x14. I've also run 3 blade 16x13 and 16x12. All aluminum Mercs. Also a Solas 3 - 15.5x13. This is on a pontoon. The 16x12 gave me the rpm's...

    Garmin transducer on a pontoon boat

    "rock and'a hard place". because of the ladder I'd have to mount it horizontal. That's my short answer. With my new toons, I've got a pad on the port side. I'd have to see if I could make a "stick on" mounting pad work on the port side, but the "curved' end cap would be problematic. Do you...

    About to buy my first used Pontoon tomorrow (water test) anything I should watch for?

    I own a 2006 Lowe suncruiser Trinidad 240, (24') , bought around 2016-17. Originally came with a 60hp, now has a 2021 115 hp (max). Re-upholstered over 2 years ago. the dented tin is stretched, there's no working it back. It can be replaced but it won't match graphics. So you have to do all of...

    can a 2002 boat.......

    yeah....if it was just me, myself, and I but it's not. This year it was 6 adults , 2 teens and a 9 month old....rocky bottom...ice chest, other paraphernalia..... and there is a legality part of the towing and weight.

    my 1975 ...mint unrestored 100% original honda 550F... so, yep.

    can a 2002 boat.......

    lol....yeah...actually a tongue-in-cheek compliment to her. yes..It would be the gross weight of a loaded boat (fuel, water, etc.) and even an aluminum trailer. Could I convince myself that I'd be ok ?.....yep.....I don't tow much even now with the pontoon. There's some other...

    Just cant figure this out...

    👍 It does point to an intake leak/ temporary lean condition or some kinda restriction in the idle to main fuel flow. I'm unfamiliar with outboard ignition advance, but needs to be checked.

    can a 2002 boat.......

    yep. understand OCD. My '08 Silverado, over 100,000 miles, looks new. I tell my girlfriend all the time that I don't care how old something is as long as it still looks good. 😳 Personally, nothing wrong with this type of OCD. I worked hard for my stuff so I take care of it. back to the boat...

    '2002 searay 240 sundancer

    thanks, Just thought that the '02 240 searay was supposed to have the Bravo III. wanted to check. other comments seem to infer that this boat would have performed better with a Bravo III.... ...and of course a bigger engine....always.
