I suppose you can add pontoons on each side and they will help with the roll but I don't see how to do it feasibly. That looks like an old Sea Camper, cool. I would remove all the topside railings and replace with stanchions and SS cable, remove that big platform roof on the back and find a way...

Interesting observations everyone but I'd like to interject something before this thread goes the opposite way I intended. I did not mean to compare go-carts and sports cars, rather I wanted to address what many of you have pointed out, that recharging an electric boat is problematic and that...

Yamaha F6SMHA, when replacing the impeller I found the water tube was badly corroded and appears to be broken at the top and 3 inches from the pump. Do you have to pull the power head to replace that tube?

testing a mockup, 24 volt motor but running on 12 volts

One thing to add, using an old 9.9 I will leave in the old water pump. Studying the store-bought motors I saw many of them use heat sinks and water cooling to keep the motor cool so when I switch out my DC lawnmower motor for a large motor I will add a cooling fan and heat sinks with copper...

Lectro88, KD4UPL thanks for the input. Since we are talking about 4 basic parts, I'll break it down this way, Solar - dependable, I have a whole house worth of panels I got free off Craigslist and at over 10 years old still put out over 90% of their rated power. I opt to wire each panel...

I'm going to need a friend to machine a coupling. The driveshaft is 1/2" but the motor shaft is a hair bigger. .

I used solar on my houseboat, it was easy. Not like trying to meet code and demand for a house. Also, unlike an outboard, parts are far more interchangeable.

I hear you GA_Boater, there are some fast electric boats out there but you better be rich if you want one

Due to the overwhelming response (Tongue in Cheek) to my post suggesting a category for Electic Boats I'll keep rambling. So, while I know an electric boat will not fit the needs of the average boater, it definitely has advantages for me. 1. I love my Yamaha 70HP 4 stroke and although it is like...

Now that electric boats are becoming feasible, I'd like to see a category added to the forum. I'm building my own electric boat and would like to go all electric in the near future. Check out these boats. https://www.purewatercraft.com/product/tracker-pro-team-175-txw-bass-boat/...

THANK YOU! I took what you said, did a search and found a YouTube video that takes me through the whole process. I hope it's OK to post the link on here but anyway, here it is.

This just in... So, I questioned the control linkage because when I re-attached the linkage to all 3 carbs after snapping on to the bottom carb, the top two needed the butterfly opened slightly for the linkage to line up. So, after trying different adjustments I pried the roller off the arm...

OK so no luck here and I'm back to pick brains, Rebuilt all 3 carbs and adjusted them all from 2 and 1/4 turns out to 3 turns as recommended by many with the same motor. Didn't help. Runs just like before. In trying to readjust all the screws I found that the bottom carb is the only one that...

No but I found a video on youtube with the exact problem and they said it was lean carbs. Adjusting the screw doesn't help so looks like a carb cleaning is needed

Working on a friends motor, Yamaha 1999 50HP. Starting the motor without any throttle the motor runs at higher than normal RPMs for a few seconds, then calms down to a regular idle after which it sputters, emits a Loud squeak sound like a sneaker on linoleum and stalls. It will do this for 3 or...

What things would vary? If the pumps are all 12 volt I suppose that would only leave pressure? and the number and size of the hose fittings. Anything else?

I don't know a lot about outboard tilt/trim setups and I did not find my answer in a search so I ask, As long as the hydraulic cylinders are OK, is it not possible to take almost any trim motor and pump and mount it inside the transom while running new lines from the new pump to the cylinders...

Thanks, but nevermind. I found the replacement unit online. I guess their not so discontinued as I thought CDI Electronics 119-2400 Nissan/Tohatsu Ignition Pack - 2 Cyl (1980-1997)

Has anyone out there any info on building a CD unit from Parts? After doing some research and with a little background in electronics I know that they are not exactly rocket science. A transistor, some diodes and resisters, a capacitor and a coil. I have an old 1986 Tohatsu 50 HP and need the...
