    Battery Acid

    I had a battery turn over in my bass boat. It was a few days before I found it. The acid was in storage area and hull. I poured baking soda in and washed it with soap and water. Is there anything I could have or should have done? Thanks RC

    skip or a miss

    I have a 1989 Evenrude XP150.Carbs have been rebuilt and has a new power pack. It runs great at WOT about 5600 rpm. Coming out of the hole it <br />hesitates, maybe even a skip then it will build rpms and go on.Before I changed the power pack I had it put on dyno and they done a link and sync...

    fiberglasss repair

    I'm thinking of making an offer.Someone loaded it on the trailer too fast and damaged it. They had it repaired and I did not notice it the first time, when I looked at the boat a second time I saw it, the repair was not that good. The only damage I see is under the trim and it is about 6 inches...

    High speed miss

    I took my boat out today after it has been sitting for a few weeks.I was running WOT 5500 rpm's and it would sneeze or miss so bad it would lose speed and I could feel the torque free up in the steering. After I fished a little while and moved to another hole it ran fine. It is a 1989 XP150...

    Speed bump????????

    Went to the lake today and was running up lake WOT<br />and it was like we lost 5 to 8 mph for just a couple of seconds. The motor never lost or gained rpm.It happened twice. We had a head wind and chop in the water. It was like a very strong under current just slowed us down. Any ideas????

    weak fuel pump?????

    Could a weak fuel pump cause the motor to run lean at WOT and still run 5600rpm.At lower rpm<br />the spark plugs burn normally. I checked plugs after I came back from lake and they looked too lean but I had just ran down the river a few miles WOT. I crank it in the yard and ran it a few minutes...

    Hard to start Evenrude

    I have a 1989 XP150 Evenrude that is hard to start when it is cold. After it has cranked, the rest of the day it will crank just hitting the starter. Any ideas on how to make it easier to crank cold? Thanks

    Carb. Kit

    Is there a good place to buy carb. kits <br /> online or mail order? The boat dealer where I live wants $18 dollars each for them and it takes <br /> 3 of them. That may be a far price but I thought it would be worth looking into. Thanks<br /><br /> 1989 Evenrude XP150
