Just picked up a 1985 Winner Z880 bass Boat with 140 hp Johnson on it.
Have another boat , this is my first Bass Boat.
Read the posts and would like to have a few questions answered, if possible.
There is a "switch" or something that looks like a swicth, right underneath the ignition on this boat. .What is it and what does it do ?
I am assuming this boat, the Z880, had several outboards sold with it and I have the 140 hp.
I cannot seem to locate the hydraulic resevoir for the outdrives hydraulic pump....is there one and where is it's location ?
The third question might not be for this particular forum and I apologize in advance if I am posting it in the wrong forum..........but when I lower the outdrive and go full throttle to take off, it takes about 20 seconds for the boat/engine to "take off"......the rpms stay low and them slowly creep up and then it takes off and it runs like a bat outta hell"
My first thought it that ther outdrive gears are slippng ?...but not 100 % sure...any ideas ?
Thank you
