    pontoon engine pod replacement

    i did go out and measure the engine pod and there is a 7 inch negative angle to my engine pod over a 16". i also used the angle finder app on my phone and it showed an angle of 22.5. Now, i do believe that is excessive. arent most transoms, boat or pontoon like 10-15 degrees? i also do know...

    Pontoon Repower

    I can say that the ones I’ve been looking are are carbed engines. Carbs are simple. They do show compression readings on the motors and they are consistent across the board on the ones I’m looking at. What are the compression readings supposed to be so I know going forward?

    Hey all, last yr we picked up a 1996 MonArk SunSpa 260. The capacity plate is completely worn off so I don’t know any of the specs for the pontoon. Do any of you have a resource or own one that could relay the info from it to me? Thanks.

    Props

    So, just curious, can you use a mercruiser alpha one props on these motors? I recently bought a 26’ pontoon with a force 125 and I have a couple mercruiser props. Just curious if I could use them on the force. Haven’t found anything on this subject.

    tilt & trim

    Ok. Cool. Ya I’ve read through those and I’ve diagnosed it to be the valve body issue but wasn’t sure if the tilt ram just didn’t have enough gusto to hold motor up under power. This system is new to me. All I know is the I/o stuff. Thank you for the insight guys. What fluid do I use in the...
