So it all started with getting a free boat. Yeah for me right? We all know free boats usually mean bust out your wallet. Well i got this boat not running "fuel issues" with a a good lower unit.
Well long story short the upper housing input bearing locked up, they ground down the starter and...
I would like to add an auto pilot bow mounted trolling motor. I only want to use this for steering my boat while fishing alone or rigging up lines not actually trolling that is what my kicker is for. I was looking at the minnkota Terrova. Anyone have any other suggestions?
My other problem...
I was wondering if any had done a shaft extension on these? Do I need to split the lower unit to install the new shift shaft and drive shaft? There isn't anything on the shift shaft that would imply it is held in place with a bolt or pin. When I installed a new impeller I didn't try to...
Currently I have a 92 Johnson 150 behind my boat with a 15.5x15p prop and pull about 5400rpm trimmed. Will I see see any improvement in my speed if I drop to a 15"x17p prop? I would like to keep my rpms about the same or a little lower? Currently I pull about 32mph but would like closer to...
Well I have the old 235 seahorse that was on my boat when I bought it and thought I would get it running again as a winter project. The previous owner pulled the powerhead and said it needed new exhaust tubes. I haven't dug into it yet but I figured I would first check compression. Motor...
Alright so here it is. My grandpa gave me a 1980's 8hp Johnson 2 stroke to use as a kicker. I was wondering if this was going to be enough motor for my 23' Proline cuddy. My father-in-law uses an old Honda 100 10hp and barely brings his above idle on his 21' Proline CC. We fish anywhere from...
I am trying to find a shallow mount light that lights up the fishing area, console, and around my cuddy. I'm not looking for daylight but enough so I can see to walk and maybe bait a hook or 2. The majority of my fishing will be during the day but I get out before the sun and would like to see...
I am looking at a 23' 1982 Pro line walk-around, doesn't have a running motor but I have a 150hp to put on it. I was just wondering if there were any problem areas these boats had other than the stringers and transom.
Thanks,
Chas
I am looking at purchasing a boat with an alpha 1 outdrive, the guy can't tell me the generation of the outdrive but is not the original for the boat (1983 imperial, has the ice cream cone transom.)
The 3.0L 4 cylinder engine inside the boat is the same as the stock one but not hooked up so I...
I am looking at buying a boat with an electric shift outdrive.
My questions are:
If I hook up a battery to the cables up to the boat should the tilt operate?
Does the engine need to be running to shift the outdrive into gear?
Should the prop still turn if I put the shifter into gear without...
First post here and probably not my last if I buy this boat.
I have a friend of mine that has a 1969/1970 formula concept boat. This boat is extremely rare and is in EXCELLENT condition. The interior is brand new along with a completely rebuilt engine and OMC outdrive. Being the year it is I...
