    Continuing with said fun Project : So you want to duplicate this dual motor Sib installation... For minimum transom work and extra expense will need to modify your current transom to achieve a straight transom (full red line extent) to hold and comfy sit 2 motors next to each other. What's...

    Flywheel occasionally locks up

    Thanks for the invitation to WV but my tearing experience is reduced to max 3 cylinder motors and yours is a 150 HP one. Try to disgnose, asolate where is the grinding noise taking place before tearing it appart. Get someone to tear it for you while watching, it's the fastest learning curve...

    what size kicker should I get.

    A 3.5 HP motor well propped to run towards if max wot rpm range at max throttle will push a 2 ton J-23 sailboat at about 4-5 MPH max on flat calm no wind water escenarios, forget all about when encountering harsh winds, strong currents, will simply stay in place being sorry you didn't purchased...

    Nissan 5 hp 4 stroke, locked in reverse after reattaching shift linkage.

    The motor must be turned ON to shift. Sit motor on top transom or stand and rotate flywheel CW while shifting F. Never shift with motor OFf or will end screwing the gear lever.....Bad Music!! Happy Boating

    Spark plug issue

    Mine too, just used the wrong wording for fouled looking, but the nice tan looking color will turn into a much darkened tan color due to carbon build ups over run hours which is normal, some 2 stroke oil fouls tips more than others along the fuel/oil ratio used. Happy Boating

    Saturn Sd385 for keys cruiser?

    Is it possible to gor a larger Sib and a small trailer in which the Sib and motor can live permanently installed and a proper place to store, park it ? This will avoid asembling/disassembling it each time it's used, faster to wash after use including flushing the motor on the transom. A larger...

    Saturn Sd385 for keys cruiser?

    Welcome to Iboats, Can order same 385 Mtr Sib with an alum panel floor, performs much better than an air deck of same size. An air deck has high pressure but low air volume that's why needs to be constantly reinflated to around 12-14 PSI to achieve a high floor rigidity that doesn't rock on...

    The difference with both spark plugs is that the BP has a protuded extended tip whereas the latter is the standard tip.
