    2000 40elpt 4stroke dies under throttle

    thought i would add, after reading about the “limp mode”, it doesn’t seem to me that it is being limited, rather it wants to die completely, unless i pull back on the throttle. it does it in forward and reverse.

    looking for some assistance with my 40 go 4 stroke. serial -0T017xxx. it starts great, idles really well( although has an occasional slight hiccup, barely noticeable), but when i go to advance the throttle, past about 25% or so, it wants to die completely. if i bring the throttle back it clears...

    '96 lund tyee 1850 floor rebuild and foam replacement.

    of course, after getting it in the water, i discovered a decent leak. had it in the water for about an hour, and got about 2 cups of water in the bilge!! i spent a while looking, as the boat never leaked a drip before the tear down. as suspected, it was the worst possible spot(other than a...

    '96 lund tyee 1850 floor rebuild and foam replacement.

    i got it to replace the tyee. it’s surprising how much bigger it is. i always thought the tyee was a big boat. for around here anyway. the baron makes it seem like a little tinner.

    '96 lund tyee 1850 floor rebuild and foam replacement.

    got the doghouse recovered and a bunch of other little things done. i don’t ever want to install rub rail again. although by the end it was going pretty well. heat definitely is a requirement.
