it has recently come to my attention that carolina skiff does not use ANY corrosion protection on any of their wiring when they build boats that they know will be in salt water. my 2014 sea skiff has about 25hrs on it total. it sat all last year due to the constant rain we got here. I'm...

here's what the transducer looks like: I'm trying to figure out which position to mount the transducer: middle finger or index finger? I'm thinking index finger location but not sure?

as the title states, how do you reset the oil light on a 2014 suzuki 115hp outboard? we just moved and havent unpacked/organized so I have no clue where the owners manual is. over the weekend we apparently hit the 20hr mark on the engine so it started flashing for us to change the oil. going...

Ok so I finally settled on a raymarine a68 sonar unit for my 2014 sea skiff. I want to wire it up in a week or so but reading the manual it has a 12v+, negative, and an RF negative. I do not think I have an rf block on this boat. It does say if no rf ground then ground to batt negative. My...

I'm narrowing down my fish finder/chartplotter combo and I'm leaning towards one of these. lots of features for the price. I tried talking my wife into a garmin 70s and then getting the black box later (teehee) and she was a no go on that lol. does anyone have a competitor product in the same...

pulled an old renkin boat out of the woods the other day and started tearing it down. going to give the hull to a friend who wants to put in an alpha setup and going to sell whats salvageable off this omc setup since I know parts are getting far and few between. I just have no idea what this...

ok, so I've always known that fishing at high or low tide isnt the best in the world. and that fishing outgoing tide is always better than incoming. but why? is it fishie siesta time at slack tides? is it increased water pressure or some other scientific thingie? is it the 11th commandment...

as the title says. have a little gamefisher engine on the stand the past couple years and finally kinda want to use it on my grandpa's old 13" boat as the old johnson on it finally gave out. I'm tired of tiller steer though. is this possible? if so, what controls would I use? I'd probably...

ok, so I bought a brand new boat a couple months ago with a 2013 suzuki 115hp engine on it. The boat dealer and his factory techs all said each notch on the tach signals 10 hours (when you turn the key on and watch the needle sweep). I was reading the OWNERS MANUAL for the engine and it says...

bought a bimini top that we want to be able to slide forward and backwards depending on the time of day. I'm looking at slides that are at least 44", if they are longer is doesnt bother me as I'll just cut the tracks down. I'm looking at the following ones: 45 In Slide Assembly Pr - Taylor...

Re: issue with secondary oil pump, anyone have wiring diagrams? does anyone have a better more clear picture of the upper diagram? even blown up online I cannot read the color codes of the wires.

ok, so the engine is a 93 200hp 2-stroke yamaha we got in florida. it replaced a 86 175hp yamaha 2-stroke. controls are the ones we had from the 86. We bought a secondary oil reservoir from ebay and the motor and sensor work for it. The sensor on the primary tank bolted to the engine works...

sorry, this will be sort of long winded, I want to get as much info for responses as possible. put a deposit this weekend on a 2014 21' sea skiff (carolina skiff) with a 2013 suzuki DF115 engine on it. here's the engine it has...

went to the charleston boat show this weekend looking at boats. ended up putting a deposit down on a 2014 21' sea skiff by carolina skiff with a 115hp 4-stroke suzuki w/hydraulic steering. single axle torsion axle trailer and they tossed in a bow cushion for free. comes with all safety...

the more serious I get on my boat search, the more weird "info/tips" I get from friends, etc. most of the time its people I know trying to unload their boat on me so I take it with a grain of salt. This one though has me curious how much truth is in it. good friend yesterday was saying how...

I want to say I've heard that sea pro or sea hunt are actually well built boats but that they just simply depreciated compared to other competitive brands. well it may not be either of these but I want to say it was a brand that has "sea" in the name and is still actively manufacturing. been...

going tomorrow to look at a boat with a 115hp yamaha two stroke. its a C115TL engine. what should the compression be on this engine? was there originally oil injection on this engine? owners says he pre-mixes the oil so I'm wondering if oil injection is bypassed or not. any other issues I...

Don't really know how else to phrase the title honestly. I sold my old boat this weekend and I'm going to be looking at a newer boat. I don't want a boat with any wood in the construction, completely composite. I know really new boats are all like this but I don't know which companies went...

ok, so my neighbor went to florida and bought a used engine after his old one finally bit the dust. he went from a 1986 175hp yamaha with 150hp carbs on it (old DNR engine), to a 1993 200hp yamaha. we got it mounted the other week and cranked it up after tossing new plugs in it. ran fine but...

ok, so last summer I was under the impression my oil injection pump was starting to fail on my 1990 90hp mercury engine. When I performed the factory test, it was nowhere near the cc output it should be. I left it hooked up regardless as I didnt have anyway to properly bypass it. I couldnt...
