If you suspect transom issues, I would definately pay for the survey, or walk. The four strokes are a lot heavier than the two strokes and have more torque. More than 100 Pounds heavier. Are the scuppers under water? Stress cracks indicate movement. The seats can be rebuilt by a carpenter or...

I mounted some aluminum Lumber under the dash (you can tap the ends) I came in from the compartment in front of the helm, and from used one of the holes from the trim screws. Mounted two pieces -oriented aft to stern wise. Then mounted one to bridge them. It is adjustable aft to stern that way...

I bought an oversized battery box from Summit Racing, and mounted the Guest switch in the face of the box, I also installed a fuse panel in the transom to have all of the electronics fused. This enables me to isolate one of the batteries, keeping the reserve for starting. Be sure to use 4 ga...

How much are you looking to get for it?

There are a few things that come to mind. A: remove the battery and fully Charge. B: Have battery Load Teasted. C: check with meter to see if switch is working. (shutting off power test for power after the switch) D: Check for short - Disconnect the battery, put test light between the pos on the...

Just an update for those interested: The erratic tach was caused by a faulty trim switch that is located on the motor. Once I got it home, I had it in the driveway working on it. I had lowered the motor. All of the sudden I hear the motor raising. I disconnected the switch. Replaced with a new...

The 20 year old motor part would not scare me too much- you should have an idea of how many hours you have on the engine. I have been told to use a factor of 60. In other words 500 hours is like 30,000 miles- to put it into perspective. Then again, Saltwater and other things come into...

Sorry to hear about the 150 Frying. Are you going to buy new or used or rebuilt? Or rebuild the one you have? I would love to put a 200 on!

Thanks!! Just need some money for some rods, and Holders, and of coarse lures and gas..and.................................$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

MAybe so- but I will be able to trailer it and go to the fish, the boat will last me the rest of my life- Those guys with the big boats are either tied to one spot to boat out of or pay the big bucks to trailer the thing. Besides if there is a big blow we fish out of my buddies Walkaround. If we...

Well I know the owner as well as several guys who have been on the boat. They have confirmed the use and care the guy takes of his stuff. I have also been to his house. The compression checked out at 124 across all cylinders, no deviation whatsoever. I also checked the voltage at the battery...

No it was a pretty flat pond- I am an experienced boater- just never owned an outboard. The boat is very clean- owner states he never even left it in the water for more than a day or two. He appears to be telling the truth. Shows little signs of use- the motor is so clean you could eat off it...

take it to a canvas guy - local marina should be able to recommend one- They will custom make you one that will last YEARS!! the sunbrella is good quality stuff

you could take it to any plexiglas supplier to duplicate- could even have it with tint or other color. should not be very expensive. They can bend and cut and do all kins of neat stuff!!

If I buy the boat I am looking at I would be happy to trade you the roller trailer for the bunk trailer. It has brakes -does yours?

I really appreciate your responses. I am pretty sure everything is fine- as I said, I will do compression test later today. That should tell a lot, everything else can be fixed relatively easily. I will also put the Fluke on to check voltage. I am starting to think maybe a bad ground was at...

Something like what?? I can't think what would limit the RPM- cable adjustment?

It was a speedometer reading, I did not have my GPS with me. I think everything is fine- I am a bit nervous as I am not an outboard guy. I currently own an I/O and am very handy with it, the Outboard has me a little scared I guess. The fact that my curren boat goes 65 may also have me a little...

Thank you for the reply Parthery. Do you remember what prop you used? The motor ran very well. purred like a kitten, idled perfectly also. I was thinking it needs a cable adjustment? Maybe a different prop? I am going to do a compression test on it as well as check the charging to the battery...

Hi, First post here. I have tried doing some searches, but little luck. I am looking at purchase of a Grady White 190 tournament 1989. On the sea trial today, there were a few things that were strange to me. Wondering if anyone can offer input. First the boat topped out at around 32 mph. It...
