    Can anyone please help?

    Hi everyone, Due to poor health, I never even had my "big" boat in the water last year. It's a 21' Chris Craft center console with a 95 horse Johnson. I called out a serviceman for a tune-up, since it had been sitting so long. When he was done, he hooked up a pair of earmuffs, and...

    Binnacle controls...

    I've got nice Chris Craft center-console with single lever suface mounted controls. I'm removing the old Mariner that was on it and replacing it with a newer model Johnson. I know I'll need a different wiring harness, but is it simply a matter of adjusting the existing control linkage to the...

    What's the deal with catfish?!...

    :confused:I live in Bay City, right on Saginaw Bay, so I thought I'd go jigging under some bridges for some fall walleyes, but all I caught were a bunch of catfish and one 24" channel cat. I gave some of the regular cats to a guy I know, but since it was beautifully colored, I decided to give...

    Marine survey...

    Hi Everyone, I'm thinking of buying an old 26' Skiff Craft that appears to have been well-maintained. I haven't yet seen it in person, but I offered to split the cost of a "marine survey" with the owner. When I mentioned I'd like to have a pressure-reading on the cylinders of the V-8 Chevy...

    Too many holes in transom?

    I am about to mount a 90 horse Johnson on an older 18' Starcraft, but only the top two holes match up with the eight existing ones. I hate to drill more holes, but what's the fewest you think I can get by with? Thanks.

    Johnson to Evinrude...

    Is it possible that the wiring harness from a Johnson would be interchangeable with an Evinrude, or are there just too many variables too consider? Thanks.

    Four-cylinder v.s. six-cylinder?

    I'm thinking of replacing the 90 horse on my 19-foot Chris Craft center console with a 150 Merc. But I don't understand why motors of the same horsepower would have either a four or six cylinder configuration. I'm presuming the diameter of the pistons on the four-cylinders would have a larger...

    Counter-rotating prop...

    I found a great deal on a brand-new 2010 150 h.p. Merc to replace the old 90 horse on my 19' Chris Craft. Only thing is, it's got a counter-rotating prop. I have heard that the the reason most American boats have a right side console is to counteract the torque generated by a...
