Trim engine up a bit. That will direct the waterflow under the hull. If you don't your directing most of the flow of water smack into the hull. Takes a little playing with it but you'll get it with some practice.

Swap Battery leads and see if the issue remains on Battery 1. You could have a dead\shorted cell in that battery. It will measure the 12.x volts but the battery will not be able to supply a load\current draw. How old are they? I have a few older one that wont start my boats but will run my...

I have something you might be interested in. It's a Carbed 92 Johnson 225 Looper that was on my 92 Explorer when I purchased it about 11 years ago. Needs some work. Has new power packs, starter and water pump. Compression a little low on one cylinder but not bad. Needs power trim motor. I...

What Diameter Prop is That, I have a 15 1/4 by 17 Mirage on my 92 Explorer with a 250 Merc EFI on the bracket. It spins @ 5800 with just me and 5500 with 3 of us plus gear, tried to go to the 15 x 19 and the boat the boat takes forever to plane, might have been faster top end but not really...

Check out the boston whaler site continouswave and do a search for drain tube replacement. I've done mine on my Whaler following the procedures from Tom Clark with the famous impact tool , just like factory http://continuouswave.com/cgi-bin/forum ... LastLogin=

Funny, I heard the same thing from a US GOVT boating safety instructor in SW Florida, tried it and it did not seem to make a difference. To avoid them, use the boat and or give it a good scrub regularly

If you don't use it and are interested in selling, I might be interested in buying if the price is right either one badly chipped or not

Try 15 x 17, Thats what was on my 24 Explorer with the original Johnson 225 on thb bracket.

Here's how I started the 225 Johnny with carbs till I upgraded to my efi 1 Pump bulb full 2 Bump up throttle a tad off idle 3 Turn ign on and hold in key, count to 8 4 Re pump bulb 5 Turn key all the way, 3 cranks and it was running every time no matter how long or how cold. After...

If you are concerned, spend the money on a survey, Your surveyor will tell you the true condition and value. Ask some people in your marina who a reliable one is

Know that inlet and channel well. Although I hate to say this and it might suck, the area needs traffic control traffic on WEEKENDS. Between navigating boats, wakes and the idiots who feel it is their right to fish the channels, it is the pits. They need to slow it down and clear it out on...

More of a Hassle. I have a 25 Longshaft that I put on and take off the boat depending on the season. I only use it for trolling for Stripers. It is mounted on a Garelick Bracket and even up all the way, it is still in the water. If tilted, it will eventually tilt down (wish it could lock in...

Fuel tank sender BobP s correct, get the wema about 1/2 inch less that your tank is deep. My only dislike was the cork gasket, I would have preferred some type of rubber.

fule tank sender Remove it and measure the tank depth, Wema has them in stock, you'll have it next day if you pay the shipping. I called Grady and specifically asked what WEMA units to get. They told me both tanks were the same depth so I ordered 2 the same 14 1/2 inch units, turns out...

Great Tip bhemi When I left the boat on Tuesday, I had the old sending unit out and the hoses all disconnected. Stuck my nose in the tank this morning only to a faint smell of gas thanks to mother nature between the sun and wind. I felt much better about the drilling. Dont have a dremel...
