    Constant 'Two Beeps' from my Four Winns 4.3

    I don't know. Is it just on the block? well…. I drove it around and it seems fine. After that my mechanic called and said not to run it though. I guess I was going on the theory that if I have oil, oil pressure, temp is good, volts are good, and it’s running fine I would t damage anything. I...

    Constant 'Two Beeps' from my Four Winns 4.3

    Took my '16 Four Winns with a 4.3 MPI and alpha one out to watch fireworks. I did alot of idling and slow moving and when I went to land it I started getting two warning beeps every minute or so. Time between beeps can be variable. I pulled it and checked: A) oil B) drive lube level C)...

    Bow mount fuel tank. Balance?

    I get it. Maybe try a 4 blade prop and the gas tank move first? More stern lift and better weight distribution? If not a whale tail isn’t the end of the world.

    Bow mount fuel tank. Balance?

    I have those on my '95 Sylvan. I was irritated with the hole shot while towing teenage boys so I went from a 17 pitch to a 15 pitch and added the trim tabs. My hole shot became 'RIGHT NOW' LOL. My only complaint is that it didn't help with the porpoising more. I was really hoping for that.

    3 or 4 blade prop for H190 SS.

    Unfortunately no. I can do prop exchange with turning point, they've let me exchange after I use them before (provided I don't break them). But it's $25/exchange. SS is intriguing to me. But it's awfully expensive, and I'm a little leery of not having a prop that will bend before my gears...

    3 or 4 blade prop for H190 SS.

    So would the standard going to a 4 blade to drop one pitch 'level'? To say a 19? We went around this weekend with 3 men over 200 lbs, 2 adult women, and 2 teenage kids. It was alot of weight on the boat. Towing the kids was really tough. We had to shift weight forward to plane. My buddy who...

    Power Outlet stopped working

    I have a '16 Four Winns H190 and the power outlet stopped working. We were filling a tube and the air pump got jerked and pulled the plug out of the socket. The plug came apart and left pieces in the socket. We were able to get it all cleaned out and rebuild the plug but when we plugged...

    3 or 4 blade prop for H190 SS.

    "You won’t be able to go far past the 4800. There is a limiter that will kick in and alarm at around 4950ish." That's really helpful. I'm always freaked out by possibly overspeeding and wrecking my engine.

    3 or 4 blade prop for H190 SS.

    2016 H190SS Four Winns. I really like it. I've seen some negative reviews on the 4.3 MPI because it isn't smooth but I'm used to an outboard, and I love the reports on its durability. Any help would be really appreciated.

    3 or 4 blade prop for H190 SS.

    I don't have anyone that will do that, but Turning Point has worked with me in the past and it was awesome. YOu have to wait but they'll actually let you test it. I have a hard time determining load, I think I'm kind of middle of the road. Typically my wife, myself (I'm 280) and 2 teens (...

    3 or 4 blade prop for H190 SS.

    So, due to bad oversight on my part, we dinged the prop on my boat at slow speed. It also looks like it bent the bottom fin a bit at the tip. It still runs fine, though I'm going to have to get it in. In the meantime, I'm looking at getting spare prop. I don't have a budget for an SS so that...

    LED dash lights for a 2016 Four Winns H190?

    So, one of the dash lights on my boat burned out. Is it a PITA to replace them on the Four Winns (It was a snap on my Sylvan.... assuming I could deal with the pain of fitting under the dash). And, is there any electrical circuit reason to not put in LED's? I prefer them both for light quality...

    Why does the 4.3 not rev higher if it's oversquare?

    So I'm just doing some off season research into the 4.3 for fun; I think I have a good mechanic who is going to do my yearly maintenance and all is good, but I'm just curious. In some of the reading it said that the 4.3 is oversquare. I wasn't sure what that was so I looked it up and it said...

    '94 Bass Tracker handling question

    Will do. I'm pretty conservative in my old age in working with a new boat.

    '94 Bass Tracker handling question

    It just says 'pro 16'; beam is very small. Nice boat; welded construction. Been 100% babied. Looks like this:

    '94 Bass Tracker handling question

    So, is there any concern with turning? My other boats ('95 Sylvan and a '16 Four Winns) all have V hulls and high gunwales. This thing looks like it has about 12 inches of freeboard.

    '94 Bass Tracker handling question

    Purchasing a '94 Bass Tracker with a 25hp. I'm used to V hulls of varying sorts and this seems to have a very shallow V. Great for getting shallow; but with 25hp and it's light weight it looks like it can plane. I was planning on taking it out and just slowly getting used to it, but is there any...

    Is it worth fixing up?

    My family had an old wooden boat (fringes of my memory. I loved it). Basic bench seats with pads, a giant (to my memory) 35 hp Evinrude that had a pull start backup (remember my Dad cussing with that thing). We didn't take care of it. We didn't know much about boats at all. Eventually the eye...

    Boat keeps porpoising.

    I will do that. Pretty much what I was doing, I just expected more 'up' trim. I'm still getting used to this trim gauge. Looking back at the power head was easier. :) As my kids have gotten older, I'm guessing 80% of my boating is now heavily loaded; either A) taking a largeish party to a...
