Hey everyone. I did some searching but couldn't find exactly what I am looking for in the archives.
Anyway I have a 1984 40hp Evinrude I am trying to change the impeller on. I have removed the 5 bolts that hold the lower unit on and it has dropped about 1 inch down. I am assuming I need to...
Ok I debated if the question should go in the electrical or evinrude section so I apologize if it should go somewhere else.
I just purchased an 1984 40hp Evinrude with Trim/Tilt. They marina lost the controls that went with it so gave me all brand new controls. The three wires coming from the...
So I was replacing my impeller and I noticed my exhaust bellow was in horrible shape. So I decided to replace it. When I went to buy the new one at the marina the parts guys stated that the exhaust bellow doesn?t do anything other than keep the exhaust noise down. Is this true?
I have a 1990...
1988 Evinrude 28 HP on a pontoon.
So I went to replace my first impeller on the pontoon. I unbolted the lower unit and started to lightly pound on it to get it to drop down. After about 10 min of hammering on a cloth (protecting case) it had only dropped down about 1/8 - 1/4 of an inch. That...
I am sure this has already been discussed but I had problems finding a thread on the topic of engine noise.
In the range of 30-50 HP are 4 strokes really quieter than 2 strokes? I hear people say it all the time but I have trouble believing why. Can anyone shed light on the noise...
1990 21' Maxum bowrider 4.3 alpha 1
Hopefully someone can put my mind to rest. I winterized my boat about a week ago and did all of the normal routines I have completed every year. The boat is now very wrapped up and stored away. I was cleaning the garage and came across the service manual...
I have a 19 foot fiberglass speed boat and would like to mount a through hull transducer for fish and depth. Unfortunately there doesn?t seem to be a good "flat" spot to mount it. I have a great spot but it is at an angle.
Two questions -
1 - Can it be mounted at an angle and still work...
If my boat is rated for 10 people can I have 10 people in the boat and pull 2 tubers as long as they never get in the boat.
Please understand that in no way do I feel what I did was dangerous. I was staying at a resort and 12 of us wanted to boat to an island. I said only 10 could go because...
Re: What do you pull your boat with?
1987 3/4 Ton Suburban. 454 with turbo 400 and 4.10 gears. I get 11mpg towing a house and 11 mpg towing nothing :) Tows my 21' Maxum without a problem.
Equipped with trans and oil cooler, break controller, CB radio, and air horns. The guy that owned...
Power loading a boat. Until I read through the "Major Mistake at Ramp" post I never realized that power loading a boat can affect the launch site. To be honest I never really thought about it. So I have two questions and hope to get some dialogue going.
#1 - I have a bunk trailer and a 21'...
Ok this isn?t really a problem, but it is really annoying. I have a 1990 Maxum 2100sr 4.3 alpha one. When I go to fill up the gas tank from almost empty here is what happens:
It fills about 10 gallons and then the gas pump handle "releases" sensing back pressure (Tank is only about 1/3 full)...
I have attached a pic to go with this question. I am heading over to help a friend wire up a stereo and a depth finder on his pontoon. I asked him to send me a pic of what the switches look like. The left switch (nav / anc) is the type that when pushed up activates both the anc and nav lights...
I have a 1990 Maxum 2100 sr with a 4.3 V6 21ft open bow.
I am looking to buy a boat lift but want to know the weight of the boat. I have tried google search but only find things newer then 2000.
I am assuming it is over 3000lbs.
Thanks for reading.
I have a 1989 28HP Evinrude on my pontoon. I just took it out of storage this weekend to put in the lake. It fired right up and idled great. The next day I launched it in the lake and again it started great and ran fine. About half way across the lake it started running really rough and...
