    Better hole shot for a jon boat.

    Search it on Amazon, they can be purchased for as little as 11 dollars. Basically, it a little digital tach that has a cable you wrap around your spark plug wire and it reads rpm.

    Better hole shot for a jon boat.

    You kind of need to know your current wot RPM before making any changes. Maybe get a tiny tach or equivalent. This will allow you to get rpm data without having to install anything. Just make sure you configure it correctly. Without this information, you could be over revving your engine or...

    Thrust Washer Question - Yamaha Performance 3 Prop

    The Talon is a Yamaha brand propeller, just the talon series. The washer being used is also a Yamaha washer (part number in post above). I tried to locate the part number you provided but it does not appear to be valid?

    Thrust Washer Question - Yamaha Performance 3 Prop

    Here’s a video showing the amount of play between washer and prop. If not normal I guess I’ll return the prop as defective since I was told this is the correct washer by a shop.

    Prop is making thumping / clicking noises when hand rotated (video)

    That definitely sounds like the dog clutch is dragging a little to me. If you start it in neutral does the noise continue? I think a cable adjustment might be needed.

    Thrust Washer Question - Yamaha Performance 3 Prop

    Hi, I recently bought a used Yamaha SS performance 3 propeller (MAR-GYT3B-V4-16) and am trying to figure out if I have an issue with fit or not. The thrust washer that i have for it has a slight amount of play in it - maybe 1/16 of an inch- when it mates to the propeller hub. Its enough that it...

    1998 Johnson 50 2 cylinder 2 stroke - why two sparks per rotation?

    Why does my tiny tach knock off need to be set to 2 sparks per rotation on this engine to be accurate? Is it wasted spark?

    1998 Johnson 50 intermittent misfire

    Well, I though I fixed all the issues on this engine. Not so anymore. It started having an intermittent issue where it begins to misfire at higher rpms. Carbs were cleaned prior to this and it runs great sometimes. It will idle fine but as soon as revs go up it misfires. It does not always do...

Current prop is a 12.5X13. would you recommend a 12.25X15 or 12X17? I know the standard 200 RPM per inch of pitch rule but does...

    Releasing Hydraulic Pressure

    Hi, I have a 1998 50 HP Johnson with power trim/tilt. The trim motor has suddenly failed (Verified with multimeter) and the engine is stuck in the down position. The bypass valve is stripped and not turning. Will draining the fluid allow me to lift the motor manually? Thanks

    1996 Mercury 25 hp screech noise

    Hi, I have recently acquired a 25 hp mercy and it runs good at all rpm ranges except once in a while it will make a loud screech/chirp. Almost like a smoke alarm that's dying but louder. The noise lasts a second and the motor barely sputters and continues to run normally. This happens at idle...
