Well my engine has developed a new problem or maybe I did'nt noticed before I have only had it out on the lake 4 times. but while running across the lake at full speed after about 5 minutes or so, it starts to surge almost like it's running out of fuel. Does'nt do it all the time either...

I can't stop looking! I had a 14' aluminum game fisher with 7.5 Sears Ted Williams that fixed up really nice to go fishing. One night I was looking on Craigs List and saw this 14' 1983 Rhyan-Craft for $700.00.I went out bought and sold the Game Fisher 10 minutes after I posted on Craigs List. My...

Well since my last post I have got the Evinrude running smooth. Took it out on the lake and it did 29 mph according to my GPS. The only thing I did'nt like was how it tends to lean to the starboard side, the passenger sit in the center of the boat up front. So I moved the trolling motor from the...

Well , I changed out the power pack and that did it! It **** off with the key just in time for spring.

So I have question about what to do with deep cycle and the engine starter battery when not in use, like during the winter months. I saw a battery maintainer at Target the other day and wandering should I get one for my two batteries or taking them off and placing them in the garage good enough...

Hello I have a 1983 25hp Evinrude with remote start, it's on a 83 Rhyan Craft I've been restoring. I got the engine running had some carb problems but got them all worked out with some help from y'all, thank you. However I noticed that I could not shut the engine off with the key or emergency...

Well, got the Rude Running! It's Alive!! It's aliiiive!!!!! The second time I cleaned it I found some trash in the jet that's in the bowl. When it started it ran for short while then shut off, then I realized that I needed to open up the low idle adjust screw. It's running great! All I need now...

Well I found a Humminbird color Fish finder at Wal-mart for $159.00 it was they're last one. Model 141c

Well I don't know about any chems that they make for that, but I have a friend that worked at a motorcycle shop and they would pour something like WD-40 and a pack of BB's inside the tank then shake them around. That cleaned out all the rust and debri from the tank. It worked really well.

I need some advise on what brand and model of GPS I can get thats pretty good and under $200.00? I have a 1983 14' Rhyan-Craft I'm restoring and will be using in the Dallas/Fort Fort Texas lakes. I have never owed or used one, thanks

I forgot to mention that when I tried to shut the engine off with the key it would not shut off, I tried the emergency shut off switch and still nothing...?

Thanks, I removed the carburetor last night going over it again. I placed it in a ultra-sonic clear and noticed some debri come out of the bowl area scrubbed it again and then rechecked it. I'll install it Monday and hope this does it. I'm so ready to get out on lake!
