    Issue with 6HP Johnson Seahorse

    Good morning! I picked up a little 6hp engine for my inflatable and having an issue with it. First thing is figuring out what year it is. I have been looking at the serial number (see attached) and trying to match up, but it doesn't seem to fit the layout of letters and numbers in the charts...

    Anyone know what this nut is called?

    Thanks for everyone's help!! Found something similar at the depot. (binding post) though it is closed ended and not slotted. Used for aluminum I guess. I did find one that looked correct, but it was about $400 for like a thousand of them. Doooon't quite need that many lol

    Anyone know what this nut is called?

    Need to replace some of the hardware on my cabin door on my Maxum 2400SCR. These are the existing nuts. Some of them fell off last year and I am looking to replace them all (and use a little locktite), but I can't seem to find them anywhere. I've been to 3 hardware stores that usually have...

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    Hmmm...interesting. So you have a power wire to your fuse from that 50amp breaker. Then an additional wire going from your ACC on switch and then another too battery? That was what I was originally going to do, run a separate wire between the fuse panel to the battery switch. I don't want to...

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    Oh they aren't powered to the ignition. They are straight to the fuse box. From the wiring schematic...the fuse box is powered by a 10ga red/purple wire that comes from a big plug at the back of the engine. From the schematic...that plug is powered B+ by a connection to the battery switch. I'll...

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    Honestly I am going from memory on the readings. My apologies. I took them the end of Fall, and now that winter is hopefully coming to a close soon, trying to get a jump on things so they may be off a bit, but I do know it was quite a drop and did not seem right. I think I wrote it down...

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    Definitely the reason they are resetting. I thought battery issue at first as well. But the starting battery is 1000mca and the Hybrid is 800. Engine is a 5.0 mercruiser, I believe the recommended is 500, so well above that spec. Both batteries were fully charged and I got the exact same...

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    Having an electrical issue I am trying to chase down. Boat is an 01 Maxum 2400SCR. Bought it the beginning of last year. I installed a Raymarine Axium Nav unit and a new VHF Radio. Found if I had either of those items on while I was at anchor and went to start the boat...they would reset. Did...

    Question on Barnacles in pickup -Alpha one Gen 2

    Great to know. Do just spray right into the intake ports on both sides? Do you use some sort of straw extension, like you get with WD40? And last, do you need to poke out the holes again after to clear out the paint or does it just go in and leave the ports unplugged? Sorry, I know lots of...

    Question on Barnacles in pickup -Alpha one Gen 2

    Excellent!! Thank you! Question on the outdrive painting though...this is a new boat to me, so I didn't paint the outdrive like I did on my last boat (even though the little bastards still grew on it). However, I always taped off the intake as I didn't want it to get clogged up with paint. So...

    Question on Barnacles in pickup -Alpha one Gen 2

    Hey there, I am doing my fall/winterizing for the boat. Just got done changing out the drive oil, and while my head was down there, I noticed I have some barnacle growth inside my pickups on either side of the lower leg. I can easily get to them with a punch or a pick or something to break...

    Upgrading Trim Tab System

    Thanks!! The more I look into it, I think I am just going to buy a whole new system. I could use my pump, but it would require a conversion kit to be compatible, and it's about $350. I am also reading that the existing tabs on my boat are too small. I still need to measure them, but I believe...

    Upgrading Trim Tab System

    I have an 01 Maxum 2400SCR. It has the stock hydraulic trim tab system on it. On my old 18' Maxum, I had installed a set of Bennets and loved them, specifically the trim tab location indicator. My tab system works just fine on my current boat, however I really miss knowing where the tabs are...

    01 Mercruiser 5.0 seems to have lost Horsepower

    Tank was pretty much empty, but had fuel from the year before, so 9/2020 I would gather. He had it professionally winterized by his marina so I would gather it had all the appropriate additives. I filled it fully before launching, so what very little gas was in there got mixed with about 70...

    01 Mercruiser 5.0 seems to have lost Horsepower

    I was planning on taking a look at the plugs. Though if I have em out, I'm just gonna replace them at the same time.

    01 Mercruiser 5.0 seems to have lost Horsepower

    Bought my boat at the beginning of this year. When we first went in, she ran awesome. I was getting like 30-34mph easy and she jumped up on plane at 3/4 throttle. Lately, it just doesn't seem like it has power anymore. Takes a while to get up on plane, and maxing out at about 26-27mph at 4500...

    Can you switch from Alpha one Gen 2 to Bravo 3?

    Thanks!! Kinda what I was thinking. Popping a 5.7 in there was my next thought. I can get a new one for few grand I think, be nice to find a used one, but not sure if that's just asking for trouble. How hard is a powerplant swap? I have access to a cherry picker and stuff and am pretty...
