    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    The last gas fill-up we had in Florida was at the Dry Storage. After the marine service emptied out all of the older gas in it, we had it filled at the pump next to the dock. They only carried non-ethanol gas. After we filled the remaining 1/2 tank here, last Oct 2020, before having the boat...

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    Ok, first, the mechanic did NOT say he wouldn't install a new carb. We have never asked the marine service anything about the carb, so have no idea where you got that from. He simply stated on the invoice, from May of this year (2021), the engine ran fine (on muffs/hose), compression good, etc...

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    Since I do very little DIY stuff on our boat, wife and I have to completely trust the only marine service here that will work on a 1992 boat. Our last marine service in Florida, told us that our boat was definitely the oldest boat they'd work on. IOW, they were doing us a favor by working on it...

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    First, I do very little in the form of repair/maintenance to our boat, so my DIY is basically nothing. I'm into using a computer and very little-to-no mechanic stuff at all. Now that I got that out of the way............. This is the second carb the boat has had. The one that came on the boat...

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    Yes, we know something is wrong, BUT, even if we only get 2200 rpm with a 19p, and the carb get adjust the best the marine service can, than we can't do much-to-anything more. We'd love to get the total 4600 rpm, that we should get, but we don't go that fast on local lake anyway. From what we...

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    nola mike: Last summer, when we had the 19P prop on, we couldn't get the engine up to WOT, but did get it up to 2,200 rpms. I'd go to push the throttle down more, for more speed and it would start to bog down and I'd have to bring the throttle back to 2,200 rpms. The boat was cruising along...

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    If you mean, "re-jetted", the marine service we go to, and the only one within many miles that will service a 1992 boat, they don't do that. Now, adjusting the carb, they could, and I think they have already.

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    That was all checked and taken care of during our last "summerization" at the marine service. The mechanic told us the engine was fine, but that was only running on "muffs", not WOT on water.

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    First, we never got the boat up to WOT in Florida. There was no need for it. The first four times we took the boat out here (northern Colorado) it ran fine. However, we wanted to use up some old Florida gas, which the tank was full of, so that's why we decided to go WOT on local lake once...

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    Last summer (2020) we took it out four times. We had way to much wildfire smoke at times last summer and, we simply aren't as young as we were when we lived here in Colorado before. We are now, 72 and 73. When we were in Florida, we took it out sometimes during the summer there, but, again...

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    I deleted because I seen the forum part about props and I figured I put the thread in the wrong area. So, I moved it, but if it can be here, fine with me. Guess, when we take it in next Spring, will have a check done on it and, if needed a tune-up. But, will ask the marine service if indeed...

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    1992 Celebrity 200 Cuddy Cabin. Mercruiser engine w/5.7L V8 I/O. Had it transported up here to northern Colorado in 2019, from northeast Florida aka Jacksonville. Before leaving Jacksonville, had new freshwater anodes put on the drive, but did not change the prop. We didn't know that the prop...

    Top Speed Of Our Boat?

    BG44K Fuel Treatment

    Anyone ever use this in their boat fuel tank? We used a can in our 2005 Durango SLT 169,000 miles on it and it fixed our gas gauge as well as it feels like it runs better/smoother. Our boat is a 1992 Celebrity 200 Cuddy w/a Mercruiser 5.7L I/O V8 350 Chevy engine with 235 hours on it. The...

    Fulton XLT 10.0 Inquiry

    Now have this installed on our 27' boat trailer that holds our 20' Celebrity Cuddy. When we watched the video on how to use, it was never shown how the winch strap snap is undone from the bow eye of the boat, when launching or retrieving it. In both launching and retrieving, the winch strap snap...

    Minimal Winterization?

    What is the very least a boater can do to winterize their boat? Have a 1992 Celebrity 200 (20') Cuddy Cabin. Have had it 10 1/2 years and bought it in northeastern Florida. Most Boat/RV Storage places there have access to water for their space renters. We are now living back in Colorado, but...

    Things To Be Done Before Transporting A Boat/Trailer

    First, it's a 1992 Celebrity 200 Cuddy Cabin that will be on a 2004 EZ Load Dual Axil trailer. It will be going Interstate. Take the stern plug out, so any rainwater can drain out of bilge. Now, I was told this by a friend that has transported his boat a number of times from Michigan to...

    Freshwater Prop Anode Info Needed

    We have a 1992 20' Celebrity Cuddy Cabin. Have had this boat since April 2009. From what we know, it has never been in freshwater. Originally from Washington State and used on a Puget Sound there and then brought here to Jacksonville, FL. The water here is "brackish", combo of salt/fresh. The...

    What Are These For?

    One of these screws down to the floor on each side of our engine. One facing the batteries and the other facing a small open space. I'm figuring they have something to do with engine heat, but just not sure. Anyone know?

    Outdoor Boat Storage

    Anyone here rent an outdoor spot at a Boat/RV Storage place? NOT an "inside" type, aka "barn" type, but an outdoor spot? If so, is there an electronic gate? Do people live on the premises? Is water available for cleaning the boat? A week ago, we rented an outside spot, for our cuddy cabin on...
