    ALWAYS keep it simple, stupid!

    I rewired my boat this offseason and created a new dashboard. To do this I obviously had my console apart for most of the job. When I finally finished up and tested everything at home the engine wouldn't turn at all, and I realized that the main plug harness pulled apart a little from having...

    Shifting Issue

    I replaced my water pump on a 2002 200 HP HPDI. Removed and replaced LU while in neutral, came off and went on with ease. Started right up and pumped water no issues, however now when I put it in forward gear the prop only turns clockwise but not at the rate you would expect. Put it in...

    Finding where a Boat leaks

    Re: Finding where a Boat leaks Here's a couple great examples of a plastic thru hull that will sink you. They look pretty harmless, don't they?

    This SHT cost me big time

    I have a large starboard side reserve oil tank that holds at least 4 quarts, maybe more. That feeds the small portside tank on the engine so I don't have to constantly keep filling it. I check it constantly, and there is an alarm if the oil level does get low so I am typically safe from doing...

    Johnson 1997 130 HP trim/tilt issue

    let me preface this by saying I know i should get a SELOC manual for this motor, but I am going to be selling the boat next spring so I figured it wasn't worth it. With that said, I began work to winterize my boat yesterday and the trim was not working at all, either way. The engine started...

    Info on Sportcraft boats please...

    I am in the market for a new (to me) boat, upgrading from my Wellcraft V20. I am almost exclusively partial to getting a Grady in the 25-27' range, however I will look at others if it looks like a really good deal. I came across a 2002 26' Sportcraft WA with a single 2 stroke Merc 250 HP EFI and...

    Slightly annoying issue with my Johnson

    I have a 97 Johnson 130 that was purchased as a rebuild. Everything works fantastic, starts right up, runs with no issues, goes the whole day strong. For some reason, only when I'm at the dock and going to trailer it, it just likes to stall at low idle speed pulling up to the trailer. It...
