    Bow mount shaft length?

    Ok so here's the deal...my last fishing boat was a 16' Lund tiller. I sold that and got one just a bit longer and a bit wider. I got rid of the Minn Kota Powerdrive off of it because I like cable steer models much better. My last boat had a motor guide with a 45" shaft that I cudda swore was...

    Overnight in water

    I am considering leaving my 22' glass boat in the water overnight for three nights this summer. It's a very clean lake but I've never left it in overnight once, let alone three. I put a good wax on it every spring and acid wash it every fall but I still worry I might stain it. Any thoughts or...

    If it were you and why....

    You gotta love these questions! Lol. I know this place is full of knowledge and worthy opinions. :-) I would like to upgrade but cant exactly figure out what to go to. If it where you, which one would you choose and why? Thank you!! Used 2005 Cobalt 250, Denver, Co - 80202 - BoatTrader.com...

    Block drain plug

    Can someone tell me the "exact" location of the starboard block drain plug. I know I sound soo stupid! I removed them last fall and cannot figure out where the last one goes. Yeah...I went directly across from the block drain plug on the port side and still CANNOT locate it. All scraped up...

    Removable tongue question....

    I should really know the answer to this so pardon the ignorance. I have a 2001 Heritage boat trailer under our pleasure boat. It appears to have a removable tongue. It has a large pin (similar to a trailer hitch pin), a quick connect for the wiring, and a coupler (similar to air hoses) for...

    Cobalts and Four Winns...others not quite as much...???

    I own a 21.5' Monterey and really do love it! For some reason every year about this time I look at used boats daily and am regularly drawn to Cobalts, Cobalts, Cobalts and Four Winns. I am no expert but would say I know a fair amount about bow riders and fishing boats. Obviously Cobalts are...

    How many hours is a lot?

    One of the holy grail questions! Yes we all know it depends on maintenance and type of use. So out of pure curiosity I decided to look at one of our work trucks. Keep in mind we barely change oil in these things and the only other maintenance we perform is if something is broken. Other than...

    5.7L GSi idleing issues DON S and others help!

    I have a 2001 5.7L GSi pefs serial# 4012044349 3869059 that overall runs very well and most of the time idles right at 600-650rpm. However, every now and then (mostly when you dont want it to) it will idle at about 1000-1100rpm. I KNOW it is not that throttle or throttle body butterfly is...

    How long is it okay to run WIDE OPEN?

    I have a 1996 Johnson 50hp 3cly 2stroke that i have owned for a couple years and am very happy with it. I have only had it for a little over a year but have used it quite a bit and can say that so far the the thing runs like a watch at all speeds. IN THEORY, in a perfect world and all things...

    Why are there so many viewers in the Johnson/Evinrude forum?

    Is it because there are so many more out there or they are more problematic? BTW I own a 50hp Johnson and would never even consider trading it for a like motor of a different brand.
