    Coast Guard platr

    900# is the limit of people. Since they consider each person to be 150# the plate is saying 6 persons. (confused yet). Often the plate will be stamped "6 persons or 900 pounds) What they mean is no more than 6 souls or a total weight of of not more than 900 pounds of people. 1460# is the...

    Get a sailboat they said. Much simpler than trouble shooting today's outboards.

    Bimini install measurements?

    Last one I installed I temporary installed fittings on a couple of scrap 1x3's that I clamped on the gunnels. Spent some time sliding them back and forth and changing the spacing of the fittings till I was happy with it.

    2005 Skeeter ZX190 Electrical Issue

    Like others have said check all connections. The fact it seems to occur more during a hole shot makes me think that the battery (or battery box) may be lose and is tilting or sliding back straining one of the connections. Turn on the ignition and give every connection from the battery a good...

    What is this gauge?

    That That rules out my guess #2. More than likely tilt and trim gauge. Did you try tilting the engine up and down when it was connected to see if it would move. The sending units for those if that is what it is are more often the cause of it not working than the gauge itself.

    What is this gauge?

    what kind of boat and what type engine and drive. The first thing that comes to mind is a tilt and trim gauge. Second if you are holding it 90 degrees off it may be a rudder position indicator.

    Trailer Axle Machined Stepped Surfaces

    Sounds like if the seal is riding on the spindle the same place as before you are OK to go.

    Trailer Axle Machined Stepped Surfaces

    Are both race installed in the right direction? Perhaps one got flipped and is upside down. May sound like a dumb question but I did that once years ago but caught it before I tried to assemble.

    Trailer Axle Machined Stepped Surfaces

    Are the bearing races fully seated in the hubs? If it didn't look like that before it was serviced and the washer fit on the spindle before something isn't right. Were both races removed and replaced?

    Depends first what sect they are and what rules set by their district bishops. Most of my neighbors are fairly liberal and thanks to batteries and led lights they have driving lights, marker lights and turn signals. There is a small group of "Old Schoolers" also in the area and as the name...

    14 foot jon boat with 8 hp motor almost plane.

    You are in that maybe it will do it range. Experiment with one person and moving some weight around. Might try setting the gas tank as far forward as the hose will let you. A big if is it propped right. Almost need to have a tach to check that out. Do you have any friends with a lot of...

    What size motor to get for my boat?

    I will guess 40 would be the max as I had friends with jon boats that size. You will find the 25 will be more than adequate. Many packages were sold with the economy version having the 25 and the option of a 35 or 40 depending on the brand.
