i have a 12 foot v hull on a modified pwc trailer, 3x3 inch tongue, looking for a small winch stand that i can clamp on. dont really want to spend more then 50 without winch, hoping someone has a spare they want to part with and help me out, im located in az, 86406. my email is...

I have a 12 foot Jon with 32" beam which is the smallest common width ive seen, I put a heavy 2 x 2 framed deck 4 inches tall with 3/4 oak ply front to back, put alot of weight in it to set in the water a little deeper, more stable, me and another guy go with all gear and a 15 hp outboard and...

Thank you for the response, I'm going to look into a tac for sure, for my application would a 2 or 3 blade work better?

Aldo with the decarb be careful with water in the barrel, change it often with this as the decarb gets into water while running the motor and WILL burn up the impeller, ask me how I know :)

I would take a look at the compression on that merc, if it's been sitting for 6 years there's a chance the rings may be stuck and doing a decarb would be your ticket, here's how I do mine, I run the motor in a barrel and get it nice and warmed up, once warm I tilt the motor and try to get the...

Hey guys I got a 1232 flat fully decked, with wood and boat with motor is just shy of 300 pounds. I picked up a low compression 84' 15 hp Johnson, pulled the head milled .015 off the head as it was warped, I'm at 135 psi both cylinders, hell ya!, anyways, I put a jack plate on as my boat has a...

thank you, i hope all turns out well as well, ive got some money invested into it and was sick to my stomach to see why it had no power in the water

alright got some awesome news, i bought the motor after sitting for 4 years and not ran, when i picked it up i made sure it turned freely by hand and threw a compression gauge on it, it was a crappy one that was leaking more pressure then going in so we had to pull very fast, we got both...

i decarbed the motor got a ton of carbon out, as pappy said, it didnt do anything for compression what so ever, when i said 60psi i was off, its reading 50psi both cylinders, so either way looks like the head needs to come off, i put oil in the cylinders, alot, and checked and the numbers didnt...

well i took the boat out today, it ran much better then the previous attempt but over all the engine is in bad shape, runs at about 10 mph wide open got it home checked the compression, finally got a compression tester, and both cylinders are reading about 60 psi, i figure its just stuck rings...

pappy, i think your on the right track, my air fuel ratio was turned out 1/2 turn from full seat when its supposed to be out 1 1/2 turns and then fine tuned from there, i did all that the other night, and since then its running very nice, its gonna hit the lake this weekend. last time i took it...

thanks for all the help, im gonna give her a run this weekend, she runs great in the barrel with no issue so well see how she goes

hey thanks for the pics and advice. i actually made a transom that went all the way to floor but my problem happened when my raised drain plug got in the way and had too hard a time installing it, so its 2 inches from the floor, so im gonna take a 2x2 and run it under the transom, then make a...

hello, my boat never came with a transom brace/leg that came from the transom to the floor to brace the lower transom under load, i need one since my 15 hp has bent my heavy duty transom and am out of idea's other then a leg, where can i find one? ive done some searching with no luck thanks!
