If so, what is it? Thanks

I am having the same issue on my 2002 150hp V6 Johnson two stroke. The SELOC shop manual pin pointed the cause as a sensor on the port power plant. It even mentioned that if the sensor was bad the buzzer/horn would sound constantly. I, too, had to disconect the wire from the buzzer. PM me at...

Having been a member of this forum for a couple of years now I am amazed of how often the "Scuppers below the water line" issue is presented. (Yet another one was mentioned recently) My 204 center console has the same problem. I find it hard to believe that a boat manufacturer with the...

Don't forget that you can get a credit for gas you purchase for your boat. Of the many taxes that comprise the total cost of a gallon of fuel, one is a "Highway Use" tax. I believe the credit is 17 cents a gallon for gas purchased for boat use. I'll probably have the IRS all over my butt now...

Fishing a striper tournament this weekend and need to know how far back to troll my lures. Assuming it is a calm day, and I will be trolling one line on each 15' outrigger and one line off each gunnell, how far back should I put each line? Do I put the longer lines on the outside of the spread...

Had the same issue with my '84 204. Took a garden hose and placed in the compartment drain hole turned on the water and then same process from the through-hull fitting. Blew everything out of the tubes. No problem since then.

What would be the expected usefull life of curtains if I install them on my center console that is kept on my trailer away from saltwater elements? The boat is used mainly in saltwater.

When trying to view pics on some of the posted threads, there sometimes appears a small white box with a red x inside it instead of the pic. From the replies, it appears that others are able to view the pic. Clicking on the box yields no results. Any thoughts/suggestions?

With the trophy striper season about to begin in Maryland, can anyone tell me where I might target them near the Kent Island (Narrows) area. Also what marina should I launch from? Further, does anyone know where there is a marina in that area that I can store my boat and trailer? Thanks.

I have a 204 CC Fisherman and fish the Middle to Lower Chesapeake and its river systems with 4 adults with no problem at all. Powered by a 150 Johnson. Smooth ride with relative dryness.

Jerry 1984 204 Fisherman CC with single 2001 150 2 cycle Johnson outboard

I recently painted my 204 Fisherman CC deck with Interlux paint and added the Interlux powdered non slip agent to the paint itself. Works great. Just follow directions for a proper mix ratio. Good Luck!

CJBROWN, Do you know of any opposition organizations I might join here in the Richmond, Virginia area? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

I just happened across an article in the february 2010 issue of Woods and Water (Page 39) and read about this registry. Someone tell me that I am misunderstanding what I just read. A government registry that will cost each and every saltwater angler about $25.00 beginning in 2011. Is this...

My 2002 150 hp Johnson 2 cycle outboard recommends using a HD25 oil. As an alternate, they recommend an NMMA TC-W3 oil. As the HD25 oil is hard to find in the Richmond area, along with the fact that it costs $ 25-$35 a gallon I am considering using the TC-W3. Johnson/Evinrude, Quicksilver...
