    Brand New Old Model Garmin FF 100 .....Use it or Sell it?

    I purchased a used 20' boat and it came with a brand new in the box Garmin Fishfinder 100 (Not Blue or Echo) complete with all wiring and transducer in the box. The previous owner received it as a gift in 1998 and never opened it. Still has a $199.99 price tag on it. I don't know if I should...

    Gauge wiring questions

    hello.... I have a 94 Four Winns Sundowner 195 with an Evinrude 150 outboard. All the gauges are mounted on a printed circuit board similar to a cars dash and they are all acting up. I am hoping someone can direct me to a wiring diagram so I can either find a loose connection or rewire a new...

    Doel fin vs. SE Sport 300 Hydrofoil

    I just picked up my 94 Four Winns 20' Sundowner from a friend who installed a used Evinrude 150 he had at his marina from a trade in on a dual engine upgrade he did. We originally had a 175 that snapped a connecting rod and the cost of repair was not do-able. He recommends we install a doel fin...

    Evinrude 175 seized?

    Re: Evinrude 175 seized? I included a pic of the 6 plugs. I hope it loads. All the plugs look clean and dry with a light brown color except the middle plug on the right bank which is dry but has a slightly gray color and a less smooth coating. I tried to crank the motor with the plugs out but...

    Evinrude 175 seized?

    We bought a 2001 boat 2 years ago and it has been great until now. It started running hot after 5000 rpm and would break up at high speeds. It never overheated but did reach 3/4 on the temp guage when it was breaking up. A marina looked at it and changed the impeller and water pump housing as...

    94 Sundowner 195 gas gauge question

    I recently purchased this boat and I find the gas gauge only reads half when full. I found that when I ground out the sending wire, the gauge only reads 3/4. I would like to ground the wire at the gauge to be sure the wire between the sending unit and dash isn't damaged, but I do not know which...

    New Boater with Triumph/Logic 150 questions

    hello, I just purchased our first boat. It's small but hopefully will teach me boating skills so we can eventually move up in time. It is a 15' Logic made entirely of plastic resin. Supposibly it cannot sink and the hull won't get damaged. I hope not to test it. Here are the questions.... With...

    89 Johnson 40HP control box connector

    I found the reason for my intermittent tach was a bad connection where the wires enter the control box just below the key. By slightly wiggling them, the gas gauge and the tach jump from normal to zero. I assumed the wires plug into the box, but they seem very intent on staying there so I came...

    Choosing a prop

    I have a 2001 Logic 15' boat with a 40 HP Johnson outboard. Upon takeoff, the engine seems weak until we put all the weight up front and it takes about 2 minutes to finally plane out and then it is very fast. It has a stock prop and I was wondering if a new prop would give it better take off...

    1989 40HP Johnson ping

    HELLO I am a new boater and I hope someone can answer my questions. We took the 15' Logic boat out for the first time and found: It starts great when cold, but cranks forever when resarting when warm. I lift the lever for a fast idle but it seems the lever makes almost a zero movement under...
